# RGSD Boardroom's Zoom Meeting

The Riverview Gardens School District Board of Education meeting on July 15, 2026, covered district finances, student and staff programs, and several service renewals and proposed agreements. The district reported reducing a $23 million deficit identified in 2024 by $14 million, with an estimated $8–9 million deficit remaining, and said it would explore a tax anticipation note to bridge timing gaps in cash receipts and operating expenses; no borrowing approval was recorded. The board discussed renewing the Diligent Community platform for 2026–27 at $12,398.17, reflecting a 40% discount and $8,265 in savings, with a waived 5% annual increase for 2027–28. The NextRequest public-records platform renewal was reported at $10,044.75 and had already been approved by the superintendent. The district also presented a proposed Special School District MOU for disproportionality supports, reimbursable up to $450,000; an athletics request with a not-to-exceed amount that is garbled in the transcript (reported as “$226,65”); a $28,000 Missouri Department of Social Services grant for the Jobs for America’s Graduates program; and a Creator Loop renewal for computer science instruction. The transcript does not clearly record individual votes on these proposals. A motion to approve the consent agenda passed, but its specific items are not identified in the transcript.

Other discussion included a resolution to inform voters about Amendment Five without advocating for or against it; proposed policy revisions addressing enrollment, child-abuse reporting, and suicide awareness and behavior threat assessments; and planned community meetings about district finances. The board voted to approve the policy items presented for action and elected board officers. The district also described a professional-development budget reduction, reported in the transcript as decreasing from $243,000 to $29,000, though the figures may be affected by transcription errors.
