Summer time is here - June has arrived!! Although students are out for the summer, there is much work to be done here in the district. Summer time allows time for our custodial crews to deep clean the classrooms and hallways. It is also when we make repairs, touch up paint, and work on getting ready for another school year. At the district office, we will close out the current school year budget in June and begin the new school year budget in July. School may be out, but summer time is still a very busy time. We are still waiting on a school finance package to be passed by the legislature. Once that is done, the Kansas Supreme Court will make a decision on whether or not the legislature has gone far enough with the new finance package. If the court accepts what the legislature passes, the state department of education will then build the software package for the new system and then we will begin the budgeting process for the 2017 - 2018 school year. I am hopeful this process will speed up a little since there are still deadlines to meet on our end to get the budget done and approved in time for the new year. Hopefully all in Topeka will work together to come up with a good funding system package. I do hope that our kids are enjoying the summer break. I also wish everyone a very happy and SAFE summer!!!
