IV. Reports and Discussions
A.
Final Audit Report ~ Stefan Swenson
Stefan said Thank You to Ron and Gerri for attending exit interview. The audit went well, we received an unmodified opinion, which is a clean audit. Typically, auditors spend 1 week onsite, the remainder of their audit is conducted off site. They have said they love working the our District, and use us as a "training site" for new auditors in a sense since our team is easy to work with and always prepared.
Dr. Headrick and Mr. Haugen noted that these clean audits are a testament to Chad and Stefan and all their hard work in the fiscal department.
B.
General and Capital Projects Budget Extension Discussion ~ Stefan Swenson
This goes along with the interfund loan approved earlier. Approval of these will be on the July Board Meeting.
Capital projects currently has a $200K fund balance, will need to get it up to $500K to complete the previously approved controls at the high school. If you'll recall, we completed the Middle School vestibule improvement at the beginning of 2024 which was billed out of this fund.
General fund was affected by a late billing cycle from EWU's running start our insurance rates through USIP. They have been hit quite heavily by every day claims and of course, this year we had the fire. Our insurance rates for fiscal year 22/23 were 46% higher than fiscal year 21/22, fiscal year 23/24 will have another 40% increase on top of that. A budget extension for the general fund will help offset the increased prices for insurance we're facing.
V. Board Reports and Discussion
A.
Potential Board Retreat?
Board President Wendy Williams-Gilbert suggested a Board retreat to go over trainings that would be beneficial for the Board. Wendy and Kim will create an agenda. The Board unanimously agreed to do the retreat Tuesday, July 30th ~ 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at a location to be determined. We will send out invitations to our student representatives so they can attend as well.
