News briefs 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.
