|
| Presenter: |
Mr. Kevin J. Kapp, Superintendent, and Mr. Jay Collier, Director of Facilities
|
|
|
Description:
RELEVANT INFORMATION: The Governing Board approved the use of $50,000 from the Land Sale account to be used as contingency for critical needs in the district for the 2009-10 school year. This funding, fortunately, is available to the district in the absence of Building Renewal funding from the State. We have nearly exhausted this $50,000, even though we have been very cautious with the use of this funding. There are many needs within a school district our size and we strive to maintain our schools and sites to the safest and most student-friendly level possible. We are asking the Governing Board to consider allowing us to utilize another $50,000 for this purpose for the remainder of the 2009-10 school year. Mr. Jay Collier will be available at the January 12th Governing Board meeting to answer questions and offer more information with regard to this request. A summary of projects using Land Sale Contingency funding is attached for review.

Description:
RELEVANT INFORMATION: Prescott Unified School District's Capital Plan for each fiscal year must be approved by the Governing Board and then submitted to the Arizona School Facilities Board. A year ago the district was approved for additional square footage at the elementary level based on the new procedure which counted Kindergarten students as full-time students. That procedure has been changed by statute and Kindergarten students are now counted as half-time students again. As a result, Prescott Unified School District does not qualify for additional square footage at the elementary level.
