The board emphasized the importance of these adjustments to maintain the quality of education and support for students.

As the meeting progressed, members highlighted the necessity of transparency in the budgeting process and the impact of these financial changes on the district's overall operations. The board plans to finalize the budget amendment in the coming weeks, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and involved in the decision-making process.
