2015-16 Budget Review
Assistant Superintendent Rob Scheib reviewed the preliminary budget and explained how the block grant affects the district. One major difference is the budget no longer relies on enrollment and weighting factors. The new block grant funding is based on last year's budget.
Another change is that all state aid now goes into the general fund before being transferred to the KPERS, special education, supplemental general and capital outlay funds. The result is the appearance of an increase in the general fund. The higher dollar amount in the general fund is simply the change in how state aid flows through the budget. The local school district levy will remain stable at 53.569 mills.
The board approved the publication of the budget and notice of a public hearing at 7 pm August 19.

Flint Hills Technical College: Grant Riles reported the FHTC board has been working on the budget. FHTC will have an open house at the new welding center August 5.
