Lauren told the board the amendment primarily reflects changes in federal-program funding, including adding a 21st Century program that had not been in the original budget and carrying forward unspent federal funds from the prior year. She said the district estimated about a $480,000 decline in sales tax receipts and that sales-tax trends have fallen for about two years. Lauren said the district’s ad valorem (property tax) revenue is “very healthy” and has offset the sales-tax shortfall so far.

Lauren also explained a technical accounting reclassification: revenue and expenditures tied to a late technology grant were moved into the general fund for recording purposes, rather than the capital projects fund. She said the reclassification changes only the recording location and produces no net change in capital spending.

Board members asked clarifying questions about sales-tax monitoring and the effect of local business closures and municipal boundary changes on tax receipts. Lauren noted some businesses moved outside city limits and discussed the state’s approach to the Simplified Sellers Use Tax (SSUT), which treats online sales tax similarly to brick-and-mortar sales for county distribution; she said distribution from the county helps offset city declines.

A motion to approve the amendment passed by voice vote. The board did not discuss exact dollar-by-dollar line items for every change in the public record; the transcript contains estimates and policy-level explanations but not full ledger details.","The board approved FY2025 budget amendment No. 1 after the chief school financial officer described federal program carryovers, an estimated $480,000 decline in sales tax, and a reclassification of capital-project recording that does not change net spending.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6212530,"Pelham board approves summer program staffing, extra workdays and $5,000 special-education supplements",221,703000,924000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684121-09a1d0acd4a62e3f7b8f387224ff3c6a&start=703&end=924","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684121-09a1d0acd4a62e3f7b8f387224ff3c6a/thumbnail_703000.jpg","/articles/6212530/Alabama/Pelham-board-approves-summer-program-staffing-extra-workdays-and-5000-special-education-supplements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212530-d0b566ab0b091c0c43ced8767d82295c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770570010&Signature=QOwk97IktJTPFBxHZ3Y1vwVkfL2R4lOiE1j-gAVySHGmiW2gH3Noy-Fy0WxDf-huw89BmlWRZwI079ZnfzjCYO4t1ipVgYqiisP~clprqam19JtFe0VHT0zmTb8awUUWaOSVK8fZQpXdnBcBoAdRT1y-VgYpytF-j4GcbaPCQuss9FDfh9loImcpmbnNEyAMLu-OZY4ajYeMNarHbXjO~RSJ7e4HVHUz~WfsWl7mC50WHaLGvx~ayox-cuDaTg8u~InpGRZRnQo2yF7dRH3tfid6Q6LRH0xt1y76kbCgwArsfGaaNRQkHNygkzDkoL7SPuVTZFUvLI5CqYo~zeQ6UA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pelham City Board of Education approved staffing and pay measures to support summer programs and special-education services for the 2025-26 school year.

Dr. Ledbetter presented a recommendation to approve summer program workers; board members approved the hires by voice vote. The board also approved two teachers receiving additional summer workdays — nine extra days for one teacher and 10 extra days for the other — to complete caseload work and Individualized Education Program (IEP) development. Dr. Ledbetter said the additional days are a “limited extension of time” needed for summer special-education tasks.

The board approved a supplemental pay plan for special education: $5,000 supplements for all special-education teachers and $5,000 per school for IEP specialists. Dr. Ledbetter said the district started IEP-specialist supplements last year and that making all special-education teachers eligible at $5,000 matches neighboring systems and is intended to retain staff.

Board members and district staff discussed budget coverage. Lauren, the district’s chief school financial officer, said some summer staffing had not been included in the original budget and that the district will adjust the budget amendment categories to reflect the summer work without affecting overall budget totals.

All motions passed by voice vote. The transcript does not record individual board member votes or dollar totals beyond the $5,000 supplement amounts; further payroll and category-level budget details were not specified on the record.","The board approved summer program workers, approved additional summer workdays for two special-education staff members, and approved $5,000 supplements for special-education teachers and IEP specialists for 2025-26.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6212535,"Pelham board renews food, milk and produce contracts for 2025-26 school year",97,564000,661000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684121-09a1d0acd4a62e3f7b8f387224ff3c6a&start=564&end=661","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684121-09a1d0acd4a62e3f7b8f387224ff3c6a/thumbnail_564000.jpg","/articles/6212535/Alabama/Pelham-board-renews-food-milk-and-produce-contracts-for-2025-26-school-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212535-b1a2e776b04b1a7d543d5579011bd802/orig.mp4?Expires=1770570010&Signature=F-UM~bompmRiguY6TVFvjM3r2Hn0uG6BY1qNmdfjMxhmOassJEiP1YsANgfMuOaeXtPOOprwbcwTFoBiaQVqqXgIN2sIMDEhxsXccw-xGwUzPHLQWhjzQQUotPZoomiXg8vBXmHHxyHTmjtrL3m1hTpdqCginG9ppzo~IHY7AAN5bY4XWI1ttq~yz03oYIHHobAQPUihraEkcLTQn7b4i5joV30hVrMjHqd4r9TeXEzAG3nGnyG~i5eZFEAZFmp8KbnWBx-AqnwH~j9bdej8ERY2F8kY~Ukn0Po6tDDxUWyMACDGvKPn0M9asG5rMftMfwCJCstrEixppfly~D4mgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pelham City Board of Education approved three procurement contract renewals for the 2025-26 school year, covering supplemental grocery service, milk and produce for school meals.

Dr. Ledbetter presented the contracts, identifying Osborne Foodservice as the supplemental grocery vendor, Forestwood Farms for milk and Regional Produce for fruits and vegetables. Board members moved and seconded approval of each contract; each passed by voice vote.

Board discussion was brief. Dr. Ledbetter described the Osborne Foodservice contract as “regular food service contracts that we normally have” and invited questions. A board member asked whether the district still used purchasing co-ops to aggregate buying power; Dr. Ledbetter confirmed the district does use co-ops.

All three motions were approved by voice vote; no recorded nay votes were given on the transcript.

The approvals cover the 2025-26 school year only. The board did not discuss contract dollar amounts, specific delivery terms, or performance measures in the recorded discussion; those details were not specified in the meeting record.","The Pelham City Board of Education approved renewals for foodservice, milk and produce procurement contracts for the 2025-26 school year during its June 4 special-called meeting.","actionData","errors"]
