Chief Financial Officer Tim Reinert gave a prestation on the FY25 Proposed Budget, background information on each respective fund included in the budget &a history of GCSD property tax rates. The proposed tax rate for FY25 is $14,50 per $1,000 of assessed value. The proposed rate compares to the FY24 actual property tax rate of $16.25 for a $1.75 decrease per $1,000 of assessed value.

A favorable discussion for sending most of the various buckets of money back to the AEA for services in FY25 was completed.
Discussion was held about social media, comments about how factual information is shared with the public and that 75% of the community do not currently have students in the district. The BOE discussed how to disseminate information to different media, looked at BOE policies 105 &106 and discussed how a social media communication policy could be drafted for the community.
The BOE discussed the development of traits &duties for the Interim Superintendent search firm to use for development of the questions for the interviews scheduled for April 23, 2024.
