Summary

As fiscal agent the district will receive and pass through grant funds and will present monthly expenditure reports and audits to the board.
The Galena Unit School District will serve as fiscal agent for the Joe Carroll Career Technical Education (CTE) Academy, the board agreed, and the board approved the CTA’s budget at the meeting. District staff explained that state grant money for consortia is routed through a fiscal agent. As fiscal agent the district will receive grant wires, disburse funds to participating districts or the academy, and include CTA expenditures and audits as public agenda items. “We are a pass‑through on this,” a district administrator said, explaining the paperwork and reporting steps will appear as separate agenda approvals and monthly consent‑agenda expenditure reports. Board members voted to approve the CTA budget and the district’s fiscal‑agent role; staff said the arrangement mirrors other regional consortia where a single district serves that administrative function and that procedures will be run through the district’s business office.
