IV. Actionable Items
A.
FY25 Budget Review/Approve
Money that was planned to be leftover at the end of the end of the year was reallocated to property and other objects expenses- capital improvements and contingency. This shows that we are planning to spend the money rather than have leftover. The total reallocation was around $600K. This made the dollars accessible to accomplish the projects wanting to accomplish before the end of the year.
The mill levy dollars came in a little bit higher than planned.
V. Other Business
A.
Other Business/Actionable Items
The finance team and committee are keeping a close eye on the PPR changes forthcoming. Eyes are on what type of retention bonuses that we may be able to offer this year- as it may be the last year that we can offer a retention bonus due to the PPR changes. These eyes will allow the communication to occur early with the teachers and staff.
The working budgets for the next 3-5 years are constantly being looked at and adjusted as necessary. A request was made to ensure that these numbers are known by those that are continuing on the board in the coming years. Planning for the out-years is just as important as the current budget.
Planning for the January 7th meeting-
Prepare to discuss full committee updates. Do you need committee members? How many? What do you have going on?
Be prepared to discuss the board election and how we can support the SAC with this election. This includes whether individual board members will be seeking reelection or not.
We will continue to discuss the PPA communication guidelines at the January 7th meeting.
