CVSD board approves budget
A long process came to a quick conclusion Monday, as the Central Valley School Board unanimously approved its $129.6 million 2012-2013 budget.
A planned public hearing opened and closed without comment, and CVSD Executive Director of Finance Jan Hutton reiterated her view of the district's financial situation as in a "pivot year" after several years of budget constraints.
The budget reflects no cuts in services and an increase to district reserves. Hutton said funding stability from the state was a key factor.
In other business, the school board heard a presentation regarding the need to increase fees at the Central Valley Early Learning Center, a child care and preschool program the district operates at 10304 E. 9th Ave. Executive Director of Elementary Learning and Teaching Tim Nootenboom presented a recommendation to increase per child fees across the board by $25 per month. The school board will consider the change at its next meeting Sept. 10.
Two changes to library hours
A pair of operating hour adjustments - one permanent and the other a single event - are planned at the Liberty Lake Municipal Library in the first part of September. Advertisement
The long-term change happens Sept. 10, when the library opens its doors Mondays from 2 to 8 p.m. On Sept. 6, staff training will cause the library to open late, at 1:30 p.m.
