Masd School Board Special Meeting

The meeting was held as a budget workshop, focusing on financial planning and enrollment projections. Key topics included a discussion on lower-than-anticipated enrollment figures for grades K-8 and PCIA, and the resulting revenue deficit caused by changes in the Title 1A allocation formula. The board also addressed staffing shifts within the nutrition department, specifically transitioning a coordinator role to a cook position. Further discussions centered on potential strategies for managing the budget, including options for handling the deficit, the reliability of federal forest funds as a revenue source, and maintaining an adoption cycle for student technology devices.
