The Carson City School Board will hear the augmented and amended budget for 2025-26, revisions to the district’s capital improvement plan, a tentative union agreement and a superintendent evaluation when it meets Tuesday.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Robert Crowell Board Room, Carson City Community Center, 851 East William Street.
On the agenda:
— The board will discuss and take possible action on a tentative agreement with the Carson City School District Bargaining Group, Carson Education Support Association with an estimated fiscal impact of $468,667.
— The board will discuss and take possible action to approve a revised Capital Improvement Plan for the Carson City School District for the years 2026 to 2030. According to the agenda’s executive summary, revisions have been made to reflect the current needs of district facilities, including input from the Bond Oversight Committee. The revision reflects the $800,000 pay as you go transfer discussed at the Oct. 14, 2025 board meeting. Depending on operational conditions, a final augmented budget may occur in the spring, prior to June 30, 2025 or the end of the fiscal year.
Amended budget to go for a vote
— The board will discuss and take possible action on a resolution to approve an augmented and amended budget for fiscal year 2025-26 to include revision for certified enrollment, audited fund balance, carry forward amounts and recommended augmentations to specific funds.
Each year, school districts in the state are required to adopt an amendment to the final budget by Dec. 31, after the official count of students. The agenda’s executive summary notes that while every day is truly a count day now, there has been no change to the language of the statute, so the district has complied by fine tuning its Average Daily Enrollment (ADE) estimate for the year and making other revenue augmentations and expenditure adjustments as needed and update fund balances to reflect the audited financials from the prior fiscal year.
The district continues to prepare the budget with the intent to prevent sweeping ending balance funds per the provisions in the Pupil-Centered-Funding-Plan, according to the executive summary.
After reviewing the enrollment data for the first quarter, the district made minor adjustments to revenue for the budget, based off slightly decrease in student enrollment. Depending on operational conditions, a final augmented budget may occur in the spring, prior to June 30, 2025 or the end of the fiscal year, according to the executive summary.
Superintendent evaluation
— The board will discuss and take possible action on the superintendent’s annual evaluation for the 2025 calendar year. During the Oct. 28 school board meeting, the superintendent’s evaluation form was approved that included 5 Standards: Vision, Culture & Instructional Leadership; Board Governance & Policy; Operations, Resource & Personnel Management; Communication and Community Relations; and Ethical Leadership, as well as the goals that were approved by the board during the Feb, 11, 2025 board meeting.
In addition, it was determined that Mr. Feuling would complete and submit a self-assessment by Nov. 12, 2025 for the 2025 calendar year. At that time, the board approved Dec. 1, 2025 as the due date for completing and submitting the evaluation, with compilation to be completed by Renae Cortez, Executive Assistant.
In addition, the superintendent evaluation rubric was adjusted this year to accommodate the inclusion of goals and objectives as additional scoring components. After comments and discussion, the school board is required to take action. See the agenda and support material in the PDF below.
