Do you know what the District’s unrestricted fund balance is?
The District’s unrestricted fund balance or strategic reserves, is all of our State, Federal and local funding that is not restricted, committed or assigned to a specific program, project or purpose.
As a result of consistently increasing teacher pay, along with other employee salaries like custodians and bus drivers, our strategic reserves have been declining. They have now dropped to a point where we need help from taxpayers to continue our investment in employees.

Getting enough sleep is likely the most important thing any person can do to improve their overall health and wellness. Unfortunately, sleep has been under appreciated in our modern culture as people who “sleep less and do more” are often rewarded for this unhealthy behavior. Some people even wear their lack of sleep like a badge of honor, because they are so busy doing “more important” things.
Before leaving on summer break, students were treated to a full day of fun at Mountain Shadows Elementary School. Teachers took on 6th grade students in a kickball tournament followed by an afternoon of silly games and good times. Students watched as teachers puckered up and kissed a pig, had fun with silly string, were wrapped in toilet paper and took pies to their faces.
