The Summit School District board of education is considering a $20,000 increase in its discretionary budget, separate from its non-negotiable spending. This budget covers essential items like legal services and elections, as well as flexible expenses such as conferences and trainings. Last year, they spent over their $55,000 budget, prompting a proposed increase to $75,000 for this fiscal year. The largest increase is allocated for workshops and conferences, reflecting a commitment to student involvement. Other expenses include purchased services and membership dues. Board members aim for efficiency and recognize the importance of the discretionary budget for skill advancement.
