Notable Quotes (4)
Just to remind everyone the capital expenditure budget is presented to the school board earlier than our complete preliminary budget for the following school year This is for a couple of different reasons a lot of these projects and items have a lot longer procurement process they either need to be formally bid out we need to find quotes or as a consequence of the pandemic some things are still just taking a long lead time to be able to be delivered into our district...
In the operating capital budget we project $16.4 million in resources available for 2425 against 14.6 in planned expenditures for an ending fund balance at the end of the 2425 school year of .8 million In the long-term facilities maintenance budget we project $14.8 million in resources available against $12 million in planned expenditures... and in the capital projects technology Levy we project $11.3 million in resources available for next year against $7.5 million in planned expenditures...
The wage and differential schedules in this agreement were increased by 4% in the first year and 3 and a half% in the six second year there were a few other adjustments to differentials for our our lead custodians who take that role in the evenings and also a new differential for our custodians who are in a couple of our buildings where there is no building engineer or supervisor in those buildings.
The longevity pay schedule was increased by 2% each year the district contribution to health insurance was increased by 4% in the first year and by 9% in the second year and the tax deferred managing plan contributions were increased $100 at each level in each year of the agreement... and the total of the new cost during this term will be within the parameters that you approved.
