District reports funding for programs and foundation balance
The board announced 172000 in new funding for programs including an elementary coding initiative and an interactive P E program. It plans to redirect payments from value limitation agreements above 15 million to the foundation, while noting fewer new agreements as petrochemical market conditions shift. Enrollment trends show a 2 percent rise this year with projected 5 percent next year. Groundwork for a leadership center and elementary expansions proceeds, though intermediate school construction faces delays from weather and soil conditions.
