Business Manager, Mrs. Wickert explained that she will bring the budget for approval at the July board meeting, noting that she is working on the 4 year projected budget.  She reported that the fund balance on file with the treasurer is $1,801,825.76 and that FTE is 766.88 and special education enrollment is 104.

Discussion was held regarding whether we would cut money from Capital Projects and move it to the General Fund.  Mrs. Wickert explained that the money that was currently there was for the fire alarm project.  She explained that she plans to put $5,000,000 so that we have the spending capacity in the event we have a major repair.  Superintendent Schutz explained that student enrollment is our way to generate funds.  He shared that we are looking to accept 30 plus kids through choice. Further discussion was held regarding choice and running start and how the funding works and class size. 

Superintendent Schutz shared that graduation went well.  He explained that we hired new teachers, Ben Martin, who is the new band teacher at the high school and  Kaley Bracy who will be the new secondary ELA teacher.  Superintendent Schutz reviewed summer projects, noting that a card reader will be installed into ball room in middle school gym due to some remaining funds from the fire alarm grant.  He also shared that the finishing of the gym floors will happen in July.  Superintendent Schutz reported that Ms. Roberts, along with a couple of students traveled to Atlanta Gerogia for SkillsUSA Nationals and athletes are busy with summer activities.  Superintendent Schutz shared that they came to an agreement at the city public hearing for the new development, noting that our attorney did an incredible job and forced the hand of developer and attorneys to agree to $600.00 per home.  Mr. Mikota shared that approval was for phase one but conditions will follow for phase 2 and shared that they will likely break ground this summer or fall.  Superintendent Schutz explained that he was trying to be sensitive to community members who were against that project, adding that the school needs to benefit from the project if it's going to happen.   He shared that we are likely 4-5 years away from receiving the first check, adding that it will likely go into Capital Projects. Superintendent Schutz explained that we will still need to run a bond.  He explained that we may have one teacher that may be resigning with opportunities in another district so we could see that in a couple of weeks.
