○ Last year, our board went through truth and taxation which increased funding to the
capital improvements budget. Part of this increase will be on-going funds that will
be dedicated to building security. Also, with the passage of H.B. 61 in the recent
legislative session, the state has committed $75 million in one-time money to school
districts to be used for school safety improvements. We are still waiting to see what
the grant application will look like, but we may be eligible to receive additional
funding to address some of our needs.
