At its May meeting the Central School District 13J board approved multiple fiscal and curriculum actions.
Budget actions
Financial staff reported the district needed to increase appropriations in special revenue funds by $300,000 to account for grants, donations and student-activity funds that were awarded since June 30, 2023. Financial Director (Speaker 3) told the board "we have 300,000 more to spend this year," and the board adopted supplemental budget 24-5 (motion moved by Steve; seconded by Jan).
Two transfers within the general fund were also approved. Resolution 24-6 transferred $500,000 from operating contingency to instructional services to cover curriculum adoption expenses for language arts materials (motion moved by Kehinde; seconded by Susan). Resolution 24-7 moved $500,000 to reflect staffing reclassifications and actual payroll distributions (motion moved by Yardi; second recorded in transcript not specified). All budget motions passed on voice vote.
Travel and student activities
The board approved out-of-state travel for four FBLA students to attend the national leadership conference in Orlando (June 20–July 3) and approved travel for 12 students to attend a summer-league basketball tournament in Longview, Washington (June 15–16). Both travel requests were approved by voice vote.
Curriculum adoptions
After earlier presentations and community-review opportunities, the board moved to adopt the recommended math sequence — a K–8 adoption with a pilot and Carnegie Learning for grades 9–12 — and to adopt the recommended Spanish-language-arts materials for grades 9–12. The motion to adopt curriculum was moved by Melanie and seconded by Susan, and the adoption passed on a voice vote. Board members noted materials will remain available for public review.
The board recorded all motions and voice votes during the meeting; no roll-call tallies were reported in the transcript.
