Moved by Jackie [1:38:20] · Seconded by Katherine [1:38:22]
The Coordinator of Finance presented the 2025-26 capital expenditure budget, outlining funding from operating capital, long-term facilities maintenance (LTFM), and the capital projects levy. The budget focuses on strategic priorities like proper facilities, equipment, software, and curriculum. The earlier approval timeline facilitates procurement for summer construction. The budget included nearly $1.5 million for nutrition services and $3.9 million for 24 new buses.
Administrative Regulation 801.5: Community Use of District Facilities
Community Education proposed an increase in facility use fees for indoor spaces (Class 2, 3, and 4) at elementary and secondary schools, effective July 1, 2025. This adjustment aims to cover increased costs for scheduling, supervision, and athletic equipment, aligning with market rates of neighboring districts and keeping pace with inflation. Additionally, revisions to application due dates for fields and grounds were suggested. This item was presented for a first reading.
Notable Quotes (3)
Our capital budget focuses on three main separate capital related funding sources. the operating capital, the long-term facilities maintenance or LTFM budget, and the capital projects levy.
The earlier approval timeline allows the district to move forward through longer procurement cycles and consequently maximize our time over the summer months when applicable for a lot of our building construction projects when our buildings aren't running at full capacity.
The proposed adjustments for the 202526 school year are intended to account for increased costs associated with facility scheduling, building supervision, and collaborative purchases of athletic equipment used by the community. These changes will also help us keep pace with inflation.
