LEEDS – A meeting of the Leeds Board of Education on April 14 was attended by Superintendent John Moore, board president Scott Sisk, and members Kathy Dutton and Chad Anderson while members Jeff Hudson and Aaron Moyana were absent.
The meeting began with a March and February report from Finance Officer Ryan Miller. Miller reported that the system was in the sixth month of the fiscal year, which is half-way. As of March 30, the system is at 64.31% of the general fund revenue and 95.21% of the local revenue.
Miller said that this is an improvement over previous reports where the revenues had suffered a slight decrease. Other schools throughout the county and elsewhere had seen a decrease in their revenues as well, partly as an effect of the COVID pandemic.
