He reported that carryover funds in the Employee Benefit Trust Fund would be depleted by the end of June 2005. Premiums for employee vision coverage will stop effective August 31, 2004 and employee short-term and long- term disability coverage will end June 30, 2004. Mr. Sorenson reported that included in the M&O budget was a projection for an increase of 100 students, which qualifies the District for a $376,500 emergency levy. Staffing was discussed and the salary and benefit apportionment the District receives from the State. Because of continued reduced State funding, the District will dip into fund balance by $292,131.

As this percentage increases, we have had to reduce staffing and reduce special education, transportation, custodial and maintenance costs.
