Interim Superintendent Board Report

Here is a summary of Bills: Highlight of several bills that impact education:

*HB65 Base Student Allocation increase: This still continues to be a discussion to raise the BSA or provide a one time funding. Still waiting for a decision on either one!

*HB21 School/University Employee Health Insurance: allows school employers, the University of Alaska, and municipalities to elect to participate in the State of Alaska healthcare plan.

*HB41 Mental Health Budget includes: is the FY24 mental health budget. It includes:

• $547,800 for student and school achievement

• $219,100 for the Governor’s Council on Disabilities & Special Education

*HB71 requires school districts to make their financial records available online to the

public at no cost. Separate information for each school must be provided. Basically more work for Lucienne.

We are moving this to the June board meeting. Maintenance has some information they are waiting on and gathering with hopes of moving some projects forward with funding.

Amy has served SISD for 23 years and she has served well! Currently, besides, Judy Adamson who as also been serving SISD for 23 years, she is the longest standing employees and Amy's consistency and dedication will be a HUGE hole to fill. That said, she will have more hours available to volunteer. Wink, wink, Amy! Thank you so much for your efforts, time and love for this district and our students.

We were hoping to have a quote to approve. We may need to host a very short special board meeting to approve funds to get items purchased.
