We are at 78%, we should be at 75 % but things look really great! No comments, nothing coming up that isn’t as expected. Our enrollment variance is lower than expected and the unrestricted cash days are higher that expected.

5 year budget project, draft at this point, no approval till next month. Big things of note in revenue, CSP funding rolling off, other start up grants tapering back this upcoming school year.  Expenditures- we aren’t spending so much in capitalized equipment, trends will start to show up. Looking ahead to three years out, we will have a revenue deficit. Implemented new salary schedule, to provide more equity and long term sustainability. 

All Salaries will be given a state 5.5% bump, will be passed directly onto staff. All staffing is fully funded so the amount we get is the amount we need. 

Jared brought up to the board the ED salary, and the need for the board to set the amount.  Floor amount would be 5.5%, other districts on average are 9-10%, Regional admin salaries, AP’s in Spokane area are $130-$140,000. Small school districts are paying superintendents similar to the $130,000. Charters in 2020- $125,000 for superintendents.

What should our next steps be? There are time sensitive public and private dollars available  that could hep provide a solution, so we need to have a plan. 

Public dollars- ARPA dollars, legislative projects, state capital projects.

First conversations happening, what are the options, what is the context and what are the barriers?

Lifting up the potential scenarios and moving forward.

Jene has lots of experience in the housing community in the Zone, convening a larger stakeholder meeting and gathering ideas and interested parties could come brainstorm with us. 

Duplication of effort a concern, housing orgs are not collaborating.

Next Step: 3 or less board members and stake holders join together for a meeting to talk about needs/plan.
