Kodiak, AK 99615
Dear Ms. Williams,
The Kodiak Island Borough School District (KIBSD) School Board began reviewing their FY26 Budget
at Board Retreat on December 7, 2024. From then until the FY26 Budget was passed, KIBSD Staff and
Board of Education had many different budget conversations exploring various budgetary scenarios. On
March 12, 2025, KIBSD presented the preliminary FY26 Budget to Kodiak Island Borough (KIB)
Assembly members.
On April 21, 2025, the School Board passed their budget of $50,796,789.31 The budget is based on a
possible $340 increase to the Base Student Allocation (BSA), 6% increase in Health insurance premiums,
and a $4.9M use of fund balance.
To balance the FY26 Budget, the Board has requested an increase in our local funding over last year's
actual funding. The FY26 Budget passed by the School Board on April 21, 2025, reflects a local funding
request of $12,979,556.50. This is a $662,998.50 increase over FY25 local funding.
The School Board recognizes this is an increase over our FY25 appropriation; however, the District also
spent many hours reviewing next year's enrollment and making the very difficult decision to close an
elementary school and cut positions to assist with balancing the FY26 Budget.
We respectfully request our full ask of $12,979,556.50 be approved.
Sincerely,
Cyndy Mika
KIBSD Superintendent

D-1 - (�r
SUBJECT: Review Of Borough Clerk's Performance Evaluation Forms Submitted To The
Deputy Presiding Officer By The Assembly
ORIGINATOR: Jared Griffin, Assembly Member
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to convene into executive session under the authority of KIBC 2.30.030 (F)(1)(C) to
discuss the Borough Clerk's performance evaluation forms, a subject that qualifies for
executive session as a matter that may tend to prejudice a character or reputation of any
person.
Move to invite the Mayor and Assembly members into executive session.
DISCUSSION:
This item was requested by Deputy Presiding Officer Griffin. Its purpose is to provide the
Assembly an opportunity to review the Borough Clerk's performance evaluation forms, which
were submitted by Assembly members to the Deputy Presiding Officer, prior to delivering the
formal performance evaluation to the Clerk.
The Borough Clerk is hired by an employment agreement and works directly for the Borough
Assembly. Contract No. FY2022-40, Section 10 Evaluations, states that the Clerk shall
receive a full performance review annually on or prior to the contract anniversary date. The
clerk was hired on June 17, 2022. The Borough Clerk has been advised of the executive
session and her right to request public discussion. She does not object to the evaluation
being done in executive session.
