Mrs. Warnecke provided the monthly attendance report which showed an enrollment of 808 students as of November 1st, which is up 8 students from last month. The current budget status was reviewed and indicates the district is on track with expected expenditures and revenues through the first quarter of the fiscal year. Late state payments total $264,624.97 at this point in the school year, which can mostly be attributed to the Early Childhood Block Grant (ECBG) payments that have not yet been received. The state has been making the ECBG payments more regularly this year, and we are currently only two months behind. Mrs. Warnecke provided the board with additional information about upcoming facilities needs and the continued work on creating a strategic plan to update the necessary facility structures and equipment.
Tri-District Collaboration Update:
Mrs. Warnecke provided the board with an update on the collaboration work that is being done with Wood River-Hartford and East Alton-Wood River High School. The superintendents met this month to discuss the tentative 2020-2021 school calendar. We are waiting for some information from the Regional Office of Education before it can be finalized, but hope to hear concrete information soon so we can get the calendar out to the public. Staff from East Alton #13 and Wood-River Hartford #15 school districts met to discuss a collaboration effort that would provide students in both districts opportunities to participate in school-based Cross Country and Wrestling programs starting the 2020-2021 school year. We are all excited about being able to collaborate on this initiative and bring more extracurricular options to our schools.
The approval of entering into a contract with Bushue Human Resources was tabled until the next Board of Education Meeting on December 19, 2019. The decision was made on the basis of members requesting more time to look through the contract and information packets.
