District weighs 25 percent supplement fund rise amid funding gap
The budget discussion centers on increasing the supplemental general fund by 1 million over three years to approach 25 percent as state funding remains uncertain. Superintendent Atha emphasizes long term planning, potential increases to the local option budget, and prudent use of taxpayer money amid past funding shortfalls. Board members debate fiscal strategy while lawmakers push for state funds and smart budgeting. The board also backs Sunflower Electric’s Holcomb Expansion, sets 2010-11 goals, ratifies a negotiated agreement, and schedules a Aug. 9 meeting.
