III. Old Business

A. Financial Update – Year-to-date revenues are coming in as expected. The district has received most of the budgeted local and county revenues. The district is also on pace to reach the projected figures for state and federal revenues after withholdings to begin this fiscal year. Year to date revenues are $4,970,874.35 and year to date expenditures are $3,587,036.96. This leaves the district with a current surplus of $1,383,837.39. This surplus will draw down as we proceed through the remainder of the fiscal year.

B. COVID Policy – The board reviewed the current COVID policy. No action was taken.

C. Four Day School Week Discussion – The board reviewed the Four Day School Week survey results. 89.1% of respondents voted in favor of the hybrid four-day school week. The board reviewed all comments from survey respondents and were very appreciative of everyone taking the time to provide their individual feedback.

IV. New Business

A. Observe School Board Recognition Week – During the week of February 14- 20, communities across the state will honor the dedicated service of their local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week. The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function an elected board of education plays in communities and schools. We applaud the members of the SCR-I School Board for their time and dedication to our school district.
