Item 7.3 — Budget adoption

On a motion by Ms. Kowalski, seconded by Mr. Brennan, the Board approved the 2024–25 General Fund budget as presented, 8–1, with Mr. Hale dissenting.

The solicitor noted that Policy 006 remains the controlling record of board procedure. The administration will post the adopted budget with the minutes.

01How it works

The record is already public. You still cannot ask it.

Finding “where did we decide that?” still means hunting through years of PDFs — or waiting a week for someone to look it up.

RecordAsk indexes what a school district already publishes. Board and administration ask in plain English and get a cited answer. You keep PolicyMain and the website. We read both. We do not replace either.
