The board approved actualization of revenues and expenditures for the 2017-2018 budget. This included the zeroing out of the teacher fund by transferring $531,094.61 from the incidental fund to the teacher fund. One hundred sixty-five thousand dollars was also transferred from the incidental fund to the capital projects fund. The end of fiscal year 2017-2018 balance for the incidental fund is $3,369,833.
The board also approved paying the end of fiscal year 2017-2018 bills.

In a closed session, the board hired three including Pam Klaver as a middle school paraprofessional, Joel Hultman as the head baseball coach and Trent Ireland as a Success Center teacher, an assistant baseball coach, and a middle school assistant football coach.
