001The special meeting, April 14th, 2025 is called to order at 5.31 PM. And we are meeting at the district office. As a reminder, there's no public comment during special board or school board meetings. This meeting is being recorded and access to the recording will be made available on the school district's website as quickly as possible. Our school district's mission is to inspire, innovate, excel, a community commitment. Board Clerk Larson, will you please take over? Of course. Member Lonsberry? Here. Member DeAnne Lea? Here. Member Warren? Here. Member Pearson? Here. Member Klinger? Here. Member Hughes? Here. Member Larson? Here. Great. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I have our flag. It's right here. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation

002under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Do I have a motion and a second to approve the agenda, please? Any discussion All those in favor aye Opposed the motion is carried. Do I have a motion in the second to approve the consent agenda items? All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? The motion is carried. Now we would like to invite Director of Business Services, Heather Honning, to provide a 24-25 budget update. Thank you. So on this first slide, it shows all of our funds, but the only one that we are going to be revising is the general fund. And then I'll walk through a little bit more information on that in the next slides. So the revisions include staff changes, staffing changes throughout the year. When we created the budget, that was in April,

003May last year. So by the time school starts, there's some changes there and then anything that happens during the year. And then any contracts that were settled, that's adjusted and updated people counts. So our prior projected deficit spending was $132,000. And the revised projected deficit is $482,000. Last year, we ended with a surplus because we had a large technology purchase that ended up in the long school year. So this is kind of the effect of that. So we ended up with a balance last year that we then carry over into this year. So after the adjustments, our general fund revenue will be $56,747,000 and expenditures $57,230,000 for a net effect of $482,713 of the deficit. And we also plan to use $150,000 out of a restricted funding third-party billing and still project the fund balance

004to be at 8% at the end of the year, which is for our school board policy. And that's the thing we're going to talk about. So it kind of shortens me. But food service and community education are the ones that we also usually have revisions to. But both of those budgets were sitting pretty good. And they didn't feel like there was a need. And I agreed. So we're just looking at going on. And I'll bring this back to the board for approval. That's why I wanted a special meeting to see me to get this information out so we could act on our next meeting on April 28th. Do I have a motion and a second to adjourn the meeting? Motion by Member Klinger. Second by Member Ward. Motion by Member Klinger. Second by Member Ward.

005All those in favor? Aye. Motion is carried at 536.
