Call To Order

The meeting was called to order and a quorum ascertained at 6:07 p.m.

Review Proposed Budget

The meeting focused on reviewing the proposed budget for the next fiscal year, which includes a total revenue of $8,834,500, a $562,000 increase from the current fiscal year. The discussion highlighted the need to update budget numbers due to changes in enrollment and the inclusion of a $350,000 transfer for new hire retention.



The board discussed the need to prepare narratives and justifications for the budget hearing, as some information was not presented in previous finance meetings. They agreed to continue with the board meeting while preparing these materials, with the understanding that the board has fiduciary responsibilities collectively, not just for the treasurer.


A follow-up meeting to discuss and approve the budget will be scheduled for Friday, June 27, at 6:00 p.m.
