Special School Board Meeting

The school board held a special meeting on September 15. The purpose of the meeting was board member orientation and to discuss future plans and goals.

Among other things, the board discussed the District's financial situation and the expiration of the current operating levy of $430 per pupil unit in 2012. The state average operating levy is $823. The district is currently deficit spending utilizing reserves to balance the budget. This gives reason to consider renewing and increasing the current operating levy prior to its expiration.

The board also discussed the facility needs of the District as the buildings are all over capacity.

The board set another special meeting on October 8 at 6:00 p.m. to continue discussion on the financial situation and the building needs.
