The CFO reported a $94 million property-tax budget, with approximately $3 million collected in July; the district noted that tax receipts are typically concentrated in later months. The superintendent presented estimated timelines for capital projects, including a small-business incubator, partial high-school demolition, school renovations, athletic facilities, and a new district office. The board received an overview of project design, permitting, construction, occupancy, and bond-fund disbursement stages. No construction contracts, vendors, or project award amounts were approved at this meeting. The administration also reported an agreement in principle for a three-year partnership with United Way and the district foundation to support cradle-to-career work; an MOU was being prepared, with no dollar amount stated.

It approved the district’s use of PeachJar to distribute a parent survey about student Chromebook usage, 6–1. Other actions included employment-item approvals and policy readings; discussion of proposed grading-policy revisions concerned alignment with state law.
