Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.

What the Board decided in the reviewed minutes

Approved minutes provide clear vote outcomes through July 22, 2026; later scheduled meetings lack collected minutes or recordings.

The elected Board governs districtwide operations. The reviewed minutes document a superintendent transition, annual budgets and allocations, staff compensation, policy updates, student services and facilities work. They do not include full budget exhibits or a same-period enrollment denominator.

Joshua Blevins became superintendent July 1

The Board unanimously selected Blevins and approved his contract on April 27, effective July 1. July minutes list him as superintendent.

The Board approved FY2027 budget stages and compensation actions

January minutes approve the draft budget, May minutes approve the tentative budget and salary schedules, and June minutes approve a $1,000 November stipend for each full-time employee. The collected minutes do not state the full budget total.

Districtwide spending per student is an explicit gap

The record includes individual technology, transportation, insurance and service amounts but no complete adopted expenditure total paired with same-period enrollment. No per-pupil amount is calculated.

Current policies address phones and artificial intelligence

Phone policy permits possession but generally bars use during instructional time, with emergency and teacher exceptions. Electronic-media policy requires responsible AI procedures addressing safety, privacy, ethics and inspiration versus cheating.

The official Board page posts minutes only through July 22. The adopted calendar lists August 17 and September 21 meetings, but no collected minutes, agenda or recording establishes whether those meetings occurred or what action was taken.
