BCSD fiscal responsibility taken to the next
level |
|
March 6, 2017 |
By Superintendent Gary Pflueger
Early this year, Boundary County School District
101 formed the Budget and Financial
Understanding Committee. This group, listed
below, is made up of five community members,
four teachers, two administrators, one board
member and our new business manager.
The purpose of the committee is to improve the
education of students by providing
recommendations to the Board of Trustees
concerning financial issues facing Boundary
County School District.
During the beginning of the year, this group
focused on the need of the Supplemental M&O
Levy. Future meetings will be dedicated to
digging deeper into the revenues and expenses of
the general fund.
Any recommendations made by the Budget and
Finance Committee will be given careful
consideration by the board, but such
recommendations will not relieve the board of
its legal responsibility to make final decisions
about such matters.
The Budget and Finance Committee meets in the
District Office on the first Monday of each
month at 6 p.m. They will hold open discussion
of the Annual State Report sent to the
Department of Education and Annual Audit
completed by Leonard Schulte. These monthly
reports can be found on the district website.
These meetings are open to the public.
The committee is a distinguished and impressive
group that includes David Walter, Cal Russell,
Greg Johnson, Merle Ansley, Deborah Youngwirth,
Luke Omodt, Josh Knaggs, Rita Vannoy, Jacob
Garrison, Nathan Williams, Robin Merrifield,
David Brinkman and Cal Bateman. I serve as the
group facilitator.
I look forward to working closely with this fine
group in an effort to answer any questions of
our financial status and future growth of BCSD. |
