VII. Comments from the Audience
Discussion

Mr. Palm updated council on district finances. The Board asked him to address council to discuss the work they were doing to try and assure a balanced budget for FY15 (the next school year). Options include:
1) Doing Nothing: but that would mean the 2% contigency would not be met and KDE would come in and decide how our district should be managed or if it should remain a district

2) Make Cuts: The board would review a menu of options to cut

3) Merge with another District: would have to see if a district would want to

4) Increase Local Revenue

Mr. Palm stressed no decisions had been made. These are options that will be reviewed. Mr. Palm did say he would begin talking to staff members if their positions may possibly be cut.
