Items of Action - ACTION
2.1
Request Approval of 2020-2021 Education/Operation Budgets
Minutes
Dr. Kovach presented the Board with the 2020-2021 Education/Operation Budgets. He explained that this is a 2.55 % increase from last year's budget. Dr. Kovach presented the Board with a document outlining the budget by line item. A large part of the increase is in the direct result of when we adjusted our salary schedule for teacher's which was an average increase of 8.7%. The Perkins Grant that we applied for did get approved which means a number of salaries needed to be transferred back to the education fund. Dr. Kovach then explained that we are anticipating a 6% increase in insurance premiums. It is budged for a 5% increase which means that Central Nine will pick up the 5% and the staff will pick up the 1%.
A discussion was held regarding the need for additional employees due to increased enrollment. Dr. Kovach shared that we will be staying status quo with the number of employees for the 2020-2021 school year.
The Board then went through various line items on the budget and requested clarification on those items. Dr. Kovach explained each item. It was the consensus of the Board that a timeline should be established for next year allowing the Board to have a work session allowing time to review budget prior to approval.
Brian Bair moved for approval of the 2021-2021 Education/Operation Budgets. Steve Johnson seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0.
