Culver School Board Adopts Capital Project & Bus Replacement Plans

Resolutions proposing the adoption of the 2018 Budget, capital projects plan and bus replacement plan came before the Culver Community School Board following a public hearing held at their Monday evening meeting.

No public comments were provided during the hearing. The board then went on to adopt the resolutions for the 2018-2020 capital projects plan and the 2018 bus replacement plan.

According to Gateway, where local budgets are publicly available, the school corporation’s capital projects plan contains a little over two million dollars. Superintendent Karen Shuman said capital projects plan funds will be spent dealing with specific utility concerns at the schools.

“We are looking at potential water concerns within the school corporation, of how water flows and making sure that we’re going to use the capital fund money to regulate water issues.” Shuman explained.

There is approximately 1.2 million dollars estimated in the bus replacement plan which Shuman said will be utilized over the next few school years to purchase three new busses.

The superintendent added that the school is on target with their proposed budget and now they are waiting for approval from the Department of Local Government Finance in October.
