Discussion:
Mr. Picquet updated the board on the fiscal year budget outlook, noting decreased core service dollars over the next two years and rising operating expenses. With ESU 15 entering a negations' year, he anticipates the levy will approach the $0.015 allowable level from the current $0.014357. The upcoming legislative session will likely focus on education funding again. We will see if ESU funding is a continuing topic.
The Steering committee meets in June and July to establish goals from External CIP team recommendations. Perry Law distributed policy updates for districts and ESUs. Wauneta-Palisade and McCook Public Schools are joining the Perkins Consortium, expanding the budget to approximately $40,000 and enhancing CTE and agricultural program opportunities. The Title 1-C funding is facing potential cuts. The McCook building repairs are complete, and the property will be listed for sale. Mr. Picquet will attend the NASB Law seminar in Kearney on June 12-13, 2025. |
