Budgetary matters, construction and education improvements are all ahead for the USD 253 Emporia Board of Education’s meeting this week.
Board members will discuss how to use the proceeds from property at 19 Constitution, long the home of Maynard Early Childhood Center and now the tentative home of a 24-7 childcare facility for Simmons after the district sold the building this past springtime. Energy-saving projects are the primary focus at this time.
Board members will also discuss three-year budget projections based on headcount and enrollment trends, as well as the fiscal 2022 audit report and the regular construction update from McCownGordon as the nearly $80 million Building for the Future bond construction package continues.
In other business, board members will get a 2022-23 academic year improvement update at Emporia Middle School and will discuss a dyslexia and reading grant through the Emporia Community Foundation.
The meeting is at 6:30 pm Wednesday at Mary Herbert Education Center.
