Regular meeting:
Dave Colburn reported on the Kansas Association of School Boards Convention that he had recently attended. At the convention, it was estimated that the state will have a $50 million shortfall in funding for education. To address the shortfall, the Legislature may propose a $300 reduction in the base per pupil funding, which was regarded as a "best case scenario."
The board was presented with 95% construction documents for Roosevelt Elementary, and the documents should be 100% by the board's next meeting. The plans included a new gym, kitchen, stage, and new connecting link to the 1983 west addition which will include a wheelchair lift. The board approved the documents 7-0.
The board discussed possible topics for discussion for its winter retreat. Suggested topics included the district's Miller Ranch property, Junior ROTC, budget cutting process, professional learning time in light of expected budget cuts, health care, the sale of bonds, and enrollment projections.
