District staff outlined proposed adjustments to the tentative budget and said the board would be asked to post the tentative budget for public review.
Unidentified Speaker 3 told the board the district is proposing a $125,000 increase to Fund 40 (transportation) to accommodate pay and benefits changes and a proposed $100,000 increase to Fund 80 to cover higher insurance costs (noted in discussion as approximately a 20% increase or around $20,000 in a line-item cited by staff). Speaker 3 said the combined payroll impact discussed earlier in the meeting exceeded $250,000.
If the board approves the changes in tonight's business, the tentative budget will be posted for a 30-day public review period while the administration continues to evaluate revenue and expenses.
Board members asked clarifying questions about certified vs. uncertified staff and previous delays tied to state-level decisions; no formal amendment to the budget numbers was recorded during the segment.
Next steps announced: if approved, post tentative budget for 30 days and continue revenue/expense evaluation.
