The Panorama School Board adopted updated policies for vice presidents, Board of Directors’ conflict of interest, communication channels, and graduation requirements at their regular meeting Monday.
They also approved the 2020 early retirement incentive program, for which staff have until February 15th to apply. Superintendent Shawn Holloway presented budget projections for the next five years, assuming there is an enrollment drop of 20 students in fiscal years 2023 and 2024, “We have two large classes that both have about 80 kids in it and we know that incoming kindergartners are not probably going to be 80 so you know there’s not any communication or any talks of having to make reductions or anything like that. (At) Panorama the really nice thing is we’re in a really good financial shape, (we) have an unspent balance that’s exactly where we want it to be, and so we’re looking at it kind of as a bump in the road and have funds in place to be prepared for that.”
In other action items, the Board approved a senior class trip request to Minneapolis, and a modified supplemental amount request of $217,641 for at-risk and dropout prevention to the School Budget Review Committee.
