Mr. Regan, Superintendent, reported a 15% reduction in sick days being used by teachers due to the increased reimbursement amount. He also stated that the application for a salad bar through Salad Bars to School program will be delayed due to funding.
Mr. Regan updated the board on the current budget and future financial considerations for the district. If current revenue and expenditure trends remain constant, the district should finish the year with a budget surplus. Next year’s budget will be much tighter due to declining student enrollment and the state’s formula issues.
Mr. Regan discussed information received from Mr. Wiggans, Stet School Superintendent, on his district’s annexation issues and other information. Tom Anderson made a motion to contact the Richmond Newspaper correcting false allegations pertaining to Braymer school district being dissatisfied with the Stet boundary map or considering asking for state arbitration in this matter.
