3.3. Fall 2015 Operating Levy Review:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith

With the legislature still trying to finalize their work, we have not run new scenarios of our Financial Planning Model as yet.  It appears that we will receive 2% and 2% increases in the general education formula.  Our plan is to have scenarios with this information available for everyone on Monday.
I am working on a list of programs and/or staff additions that we feel would move us forward in our goal of improved academic performance.  I will have those items plus associated costs available at the meeting on Monday night.

3.4. Establish Lunch, iPad Insurance & Activity Prices:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith
Description:
It is our recommendation to have our lunch prices increase by $.10 per meal at all sites.  This increase keeps us in line with requirements of the School Lunch Program.  Activity Fees are proposed to increase by 10% each as was determined during our budget reduction process.
This current year, we had an iPad insurance fee of $25 per device with reduced rates of $10 for those on reduced meals and $5 for those on free meals  We would like to discuss the possibility of lowering the fees for this insurance as we move into our second year of the 1 to 1 program and establishing one consistent rate for all regardless of free/reduced meal status.
