Discussion:  Since the last school board meeting, MHS students have had an abundance of success in extracurricular activities.  In a future meeting, we will mention individual successes, but tonight we would like to congratulate the MHS Dance Team for their 6th place finish at the State A High Kick Dance Competition, the United Wrestling Team for their 5th place performance at the State AA Wrestling Tournament, and the Individuals and Relay's on the Boys Swim and Dive team visit at State.

Congratulations!

Discussion:  Adam Spray, Chief Business Official, will present the revised FY24 budget.

Discussion:  The fees and expenses rates will stay, for the most part, the same in 2024-2025.  The one area of change is in athletic ticket prices.  Ten punch and yearly passes have remained unchanged for the past 10 years, therefore a modest adjustment is being recommended.

The changes if approved will be the following:
Student all year ticket goes from $40-$45
Adult 10 punch pass goes from $50-$60
Adult all year pass goes from $75-$90
Family all year pass goes from $180-$200

Single game tickets will remain at $6/$8

This fee schedule is being recommended by Mr. McKittrick for approval.

Discussion:  Annually, contracts for services for the upcoming school year must be approved.  Attached is a copy of the proposed services and costs for each.  Montevideo Public Schools utilizes the following:

Health and Safety Management Services  $3,987.75
Special Education Services                        $338,599
Behavior Analytic Services                        $    8,580
Student Data Privacy Program                  $    1,545

for a total of $52,711.75, which is up in cost 41,042.39 from FY24.  The most significant increases come in Special Education services which are up $40,438.  These services are based upon the service needs of current students.  The largest singular need is in physical therapy services, which is up $20,000.  Billing will occur based on actual usage. Therefore, if services change up or down, we will be billed for actual use.

Approval of these contracts is recommended by Superintendent McKittrick.

Discussion:  Adam Spray, Chief Business Official, presented the revised FY24 revenues and expenditure budget earlier in this meeting.  It is being recommended the board approve the revised budgets in the amounts of $26,348,344 in revenues and $26,498,217 in expenditures.

Adam will be on hand to answer any questions at this time.

Discussion:  This action is recommended by Mr. McKittrick
