Administration recommends approval of a budget amendment to account for insurance proceeds and disaster-related capital improvement expenditures.

The amendment increases local revenue by $357,920 to recognize insurance proceeds, including insurance revenue carried forward from the prior year and a final insurance payment of $140,000. The amendment also increases the Function 81 Capital Improvements expenditure budget by $1,276,476 for disaster-related projects, including stadium repairs, scoreboard, roofing, HVAC, fencing, and completion of the sidewalk extension to the stadium handicap ramp.

Fiscal Implication: Increase General Fund (199) revenue by $357,920 and increase General Fund (199) Function 81 - Capital Outlay by $1,276,476. The resulting $918,556 difference will be funded from General Fund fund balance.

The proposal includes:

• Option 1, Old High School Gym: $104,387.52
• Option 2, Daycare: $52,447.50
• Option 3, Elementary Cafeteria HVAC Ducts: $6,650.00
• Credit if all three options are completed together: ($18,780.00)
• Total for Options 1, 2, and 3: $144,705.02

The District budgeted $170,000 for capital improvements for the 2026-2027 school year. The proposed work can be completed within that amount, but completing all three options would leave approximately $25,295 available for other capital needs during the remainder of the year.

The Old High School Gym and daycare roofs both need replacement. The District will also need to address damage to the Old High School Gym flooring after the roof is repaired. Option 3 is not currently a priority but would address the elementary cafeteria HVAC ducts while the contractor is completing the other roofing work. The Board may consider proceeding with some or all of the proposed work or delaying action until later in the school year when the District has a clearer picture of its budget and other capital needs.

• Coalition of Health Services (Health Science Classes Tuition) $20,768
• Watchfire Signs (Football Scoreboard) $167,810 
• VW Sports (Track Resurfacing) $171,225

Administration recommends approval of the proposed revisions to EFB(LOCAL) to align the District’s local policy regarding library materials with current state law and requirements. The revisions address library material selection and procurement, Board approval, parental access and involvement, and procedures for challenges to library materials.

Administration recommends approval of the proposed revisions to FNCE(LOCAL) regarding student use of personal communication and electronic devices. The revisions address restrictions on device use during the school day, required exceptions, confiscation and retrieval procedures, and administrative implementation and annual compliance reporting.

The District has identified equipment from the Agricultural Science program and the Sunray Animal Hospital that is no longer needed for District operations. The Board is asked to declare the identified equipment surplus and authorize the Superintendent to sell the equipment in accordance with applicable law and District policy, using a method intended to obtain fair value for the District.

The Public Funds Investment Act and CDA(LOCAL) require the Board to review the District’s investment policy and investment strategies at least annually and document the review in writing. The District currently maintains its funds in interest-bearing depository accounts and does not utilize an investment broker. No changes to CDA(LOCAL) or the District’s investment strategies are recommended at this time.

The attached resolution also designates the Superintendent as the District’s Investment Officer, approves TASBO, Region 16 ESC, and Virtual Learning Concepts as independent sources of PFIA training, and documents that the Board is authorizing no investment brokers at this time.
