School Board Workshop Minutes - Final December 12, 2023 access to Skyward. Ms. Duval asked for clarification on the proposed 'standing workshop item'. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Rodriguez stated their concerns on agenda items going from the workshop to the meeting on the same day. Mr. Stratton asked members to sit with staff in regard to the budget in Skyward as he does not think it will provide as readily, the information they are asking for. After more clarification, Mrs. Rodriguez stated that if it is not a benefit [for members to access Skyward], then that is fine. In speaking on the proposed budget sheet, Mrs. Renihan stated that she can add a line for funds encumbered. Ms. Duval asked for clarification of one agenda item for multiple items. Mrs. Renihan stated that is the intent. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Rodriguez stated that they do not like the idea of combining the items to one agenda item. Mr. Guadagnino stated that he can see almost every item here [sample provided] being pulled every night. Mr. Johnson agreed. Mr. Stratton asked if they would like a workshop with all items together and they can discuss which items to separate. Then at the next board meeting, the items will go before them, separate or together, depending on the outcome of the workshop. Mr. Johnson stated he does not want it as it could get confusing. Ms. Duval stated that these purchases coming before them at a workshop is a value to the board and then at the next meeting they can take action. She then clarified that staff collectively workshop them, but then on the meeting agenda, they are separated out. Mr. Stratton stated that he is not hearing a change in the way we currently do things. He asks the board to look at [updating] the budget sheet. Mrs. Renihan stated that having the account strips on the current budget sheet causes confusion. Ms. Duval believes it would be explained at the workshop. Mr. Johnson would like to know what sources/funds are being used. Mr. Guadagnino suggested adding the fund name to the proposed summary sheet. Mr. Stratton stated that staff will bring back different variations of budget sheets. The Board Recessed at 3:29 P.M. and reconvened at 3:38 P.M. 3.
