- This would be the time and place for the President to announce that the public hearing is open for comments or questions regarding the proposed 2024-2025 Proposed Property Tax Levy.
- Once all comments have been heard, the President will announce that the hearing is closed.
- At our February meeting we provided you with three options for the tax levy- 2.5% which is the Governor's recommendation, 3% which is the recommendation from the House and 0% which is a possibility if the legislature does not get a decision made.
- We posted the Property tax levy notice at 0% because a decision had not yet been made at the state level and the only option we have as a district between the first and second public hearings is to lower the levy rate so we went with the option that has the highest rate to start with.
- I provided a copy of the Proposed Property Tax Notice as Exhibit #1

We are recommending Communication Innovators. Communication Innovators looks considerably higher, but they quoted a new camera server which we should look at doing. If you remove that they are only around $800 more. GWAEA prefers working with Communication Innovators as a vendor.
Interconnex bid a different solution which is cloud based, but didn't provide ongoing costs which you would have with a cloud system. They also did not provide any information on tying in the door management which the Genatec system the other vendors bid does handle.

On behalf of fellow Board members, at this time I would like to invite any member of the audience (who have contacted the Superintendent at least five days before this meeting) to speak with comments about items of interest or concern that do not appear on tonight’s agenda. Please begin by stating your name and address. It would be appreciated if you would limit your comments to 5 minutes so we can keep the meeting moving in a timely fashion and allow others an opportunity to address other issues of importance to them. We ask you to remember that Iowa law prohibits us from discussing specific employees or their job performance. It is important to remember that any statements made can jeopardize the Board and any future action that could be taken relating to personnel by the Board and jeopardize the individual making the statement. Any concerns relating to personnel must be taken to administration and under law the Board only acts on recommendations from administration. Thanks for your support of our school district.

601: Receive SBRC Application for Increased Enrollment & Open Enrollment Out - Exhibit 601.1
MOTION to approve the district’s administration to submit a request to the School Budget Review Committee for a Modified Supplemental Amount of $104,272 increased enrollment and $16,725 for open enrolled out students who were not included in the district’s previous year certified enrollment count. A roll call vote will follow.
Each year we are allowed to request authority for increased enrollment and for students who are open enrolled out this year that were not on our student count last year. With certified enrollment complete, our enrollment increased by 13.3 students so we are eligible to ask for $7,840 per student for a total of $104,272. There were also 2 students identified as open enrolled out that were not on our count last year at $7,8526 each for a total of $16,725. This is just authority, not actual cash.

The School Board Review Committee’s (SBRC) Modified Allowable Growth (MAG) for returning dropouts and dropout prevention programs is a means of raising funds to support our local programs, services and personnel to assist our at-risk students K-12. These funds are used to help offset costs associated with our district guidance counselors, supplies for our at-risk students, and skills group time for our elementary students. In order to continue these supports for our at-risk population, I am requesting that the Directors approve our Modified Allowable Growth (MAG) for FY25.
Before January 15th, the district will need to complete a budget dropout prevention services requested for state approval. Kerry and I will meet to complete and submit this application. The maximum amount we can ask for is $96,681.00. Before we certify the budget in April we do have the ability to reduce this amount if we desire to do so.
