To begin the 2022 Fiscal year the District focused on purchasing and implementing science curriculum (District wide) and reading curriculum (K5), increasing wages for staff, including a proposed adjustment to the District Classified Salary Schedule effective January 1st, 2022. Additionally, we have maintained focus on keeping our students in school and in-person through our COVID response protocols. Changes in wages were put in place as the District continues to work towards competitive salary levels and taking a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to changes in minimum wage at the state and federal level. Labor shortages continue to impact District functions, specifically transportation, and we hope these changes help draw new employees into the District and positively impact retention for our current, amazing team members. Continued exploration of the best utilization of funds the District has received in response to the COVID 19 Pandemic led to several changes in the FY2022 budget and spending as the District worked to execute those plans. Throughout the past several months, community input and planning sessions around ESSR funding led to several proposed expenditures to help the District in our COVID response. Specifically of high focus are indoor air quality, health and safety, summer school support to address pandemic learning loss, and social emotional well-being and mental health support for students district wide. Funding was also utilized to improve technology infrastructure for online and remote learning needs, provide teachers with remote capable machines, and additional curriculum equipped for both in person and remote learning. Major Expenditures tied to ESSR and COVID relief funding for FY2022 include but were not limited to: Summer School Support for all Locations HVAC Improvements for the FMS Campus Additional Filters for Air Purifiers for classrooms and common spaces New Dish Washers at both Campus Kitchens Educational Media and Technology Mental Health Support and Social Emotional Curriculum As the District approaches major facilities decisions, we continue to work on effective, conservative budgeting to better position ourselves financially and support facility changes moving forward.
