District overview
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
The Board sets budgets, policies, contracts and district operations. State funding is the largest identified FY2027 General Fund receipt source, while local taxes and other local receipts provide another substantial share; the published working budget also relies on beginning balance and on-behalf payments.
The General Fund working budget lists $32.99 million in receipts and $51.66 million in total resources and appropriations, including $18.67 million of beginning balance.
External General Fund receipts are $32.98 million, excluding the separate $11,709 transfer: local sources, state sources including SEEK and $7.81 million in on-behalf payments, and federal Medicaid reimbursement. Beginning balance is also reported separately.
Policy 09.4261 limits instructional-time device use, while the current student code adds explicit privacy, academic-integrity and safety rules for AI.
The official page lists five Board members but no agendas, minutes, recordings or exact annual schedule, limiting verification of recent decisions.
The finance reports and current policies provide useful direct evidence, but they cannot substitute for missing meeting outcomes or an external audit opinion.
