Overview: The recent Hawthorne School Board meeting was notably focused on the budgetary challenges the district faces, particularly regarding the allocation of funds to cover increasing health care costs. The board discussed the state-mandated reallocation of funds, which involved shifting resources from facilities to health benefits, in response to anticipated health premium increases. These increases, projected at 32% in January, pose a substantial financial burden on the district, which had initially budgeted for smaller increments. The shortfall is estimated at approximately $300,000, prompting discussions about potentially seeking additional taxpayer funding.
