(Anita) The CAM School Board on Mondy approved the budget guarantee for the 2024-2025 Fiscal year. CAM Schools Superintendent Paul Croghan says the district showed a declining enrollment, so the board needed to approve this, which provides school districts with declining enrollments may receive additional funds that guarantee that the current fiscal year’s total regular program district cost is equal to the previous year’s total regular program district cost.
Croghan says the board also discussed the budgeting process. He said there are some changes in the process compared to what it has been in past years. It now takes two public hearings before it can officially be submitted.
Paul Croghan said the school board set their first public hearing for March 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the High School media center, when the board will hear public comments on the proposed budget.
He says the board will take those comments, if any, make adjustments by the April 15 board meeting, and submit the final draft by the April 30 deadline.
