Information Items
Fall 2025 Academic Data
The District shared the fall 2025 iReady and STAR reading and math assessment results. All students in kindergarten through eighth grade are assessed during benchmark windows, including fall, winter, and spring.
Financial Update
The District shared a financial update with the school board. September payroll and associated benefits costs have been recorded, and are higher per-month than anticipated. Without another month to compare to, they provide some indicators but are not as robust as a multi-month analysis of payroll trends. If current expenses and revenues remain at the pace of September, the District will end the year with less Ending Fund Balance than was budgeted.
Monthly Financial Report as of September 30, 2025
