Bemidji school board removes board chair rotation process, discusses capital projects

BEMIDJI — Summer projects, social studies and school board committees were among several topics of discussion for the Bemidji Area Schools Board of Education at its regular meeting on Monday.

District Business Director Ashley Eastridge presented an overview of the district’s summer capital projects schedule, which details an estimated $1.8 million in projects funded by long-term facilities maintenance (LTFM) funds and operating capital.

“LTFM is a restricted funding source that is used for deferred capital expenditures and maintenance projects that prevent further erosion of facilities, increasing accessibility of school facilities and health and safety projects,” Eastridge said. “Operating capital is also a restricted funding source that is used for acquiring land, acquiring or constructing buildings or building improvements and energy efficiency improvements.”
