There was good news in the area of the budget. Prior to this last year, districts around the state had concerns about budget shortfalls due to the “levy swap.” During the most recent 18 months, districts faced decrease state money again due to decreased enrollment and bus ridership. Three things have helped to make our budget stronger than anticipated. 1) OSPI subsidizing the enrollment and transportation with stabilization funds; 2) Due to changes in the way that education was delivered during the 15 months, districts have been able to save money in many areas such as contracts, staffing and travel; and 3) ESSER funds have been coming in to reimburse districts for many out-of-pocket expenses such as the additional cleaning and sanitation supplies and chemicals due to the pandemic.
An Interlocal Agreement with Central Kitsap School District was approved for them to provide project management services in areas of HVAC improvements, electrical and plumbing throughout the district.
