Enrollment numbers reflect the need for an additional SPED teacher position for the 2026-2027 school year. Funding for this position is reflected in the preliminary FY27 General Operating Budget. 

This Policy was created to meet the requirements of SB 351 and must be in place by
April 30, 2026.
 

SCCA had no findings on the 2025-2026 Operational Monitoring.

SCCA is on track to meet on the Operational CPF for the 2025-2026 SY with a projected score of
100.

There are no significant changes to enrollment numbers. 

This is the first presentation of the initial FY27 General Operating Budget. The Finance
Committee reviewed line items and there is a projected surplus of $64,336.

There were no comments verbal or written on the FY27 General Operating Budget. 

Board members reviewed financial reports through January 2026. SCCA is on track to
meet on Financial CPF.

The Finance Committee is requesting approval for the purchase of a safety alert system
from Raptor Technologies using annual security grant funds. The purchase price is
$7,203.33 for both schools combined. This will provide "Panic" buttons for certified
personnel and includes monitoring, training and mapping services to meet requirements in new state law.
 

The governor's AFY 26 budget included a $2000 supplement for all positions earned on
school allotment sheets. This does not cover every staff member. The Finance Committee is
requesting approval to spend additional general operating funds of $62,851.00 so ALL
staff receive this supplement in addition to the allotment for positions earned from the
state.

Kevin King, with 4PM, our owner's representative for construction, gave board members an update on the project budget and financing timeline. According to the timeline, bond pricing will occur on 4/7/26. The Bond resolution approved by the Board at the last meeting authorized Cheryl to accept/reject pricing with recommendations from the attorneys/bond underwriters. Once bond pricing is accepted, the final closing date will be set. That date is projected for 4/23/26. 

The project budget presented tonight sets the total estimate at $36,890,000. If bond pricing comes in at an interest rate at or below 6.186%, that would be optimal for the project.  This includes a guaranteed maximum price from our general contractors, which came in under our projections.

Site work is scheduled to begin the week of 3/23. Two dates were submitted for Board consideration for the Groundbreaking ceremony  - April 27th or May 4th at 10:00 am. members should contact Erin Lenz with recommendations for invitees.
