Board approves August financial statement and several budget amendments

On Sept. 2 the Morgan County Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the financial statement for the month ending Aug. 30, 2025, and to approve budget amendments numbered 8–14. On Aug. 5 the board had approved the financial statement for the month ending July 20 and earlier budget amendments 1–7, as recorded in the minutes. Why it matters: the financial statement and budget amendments reflect how the district records revenues and expenditures and allocate federal, state, and local funds, including federal program subfund adjustments recorded in the packet. Details: the Sept. 2 motion to approve the financial statement was moved by Jonathan Dagley and seconded by Kasey Perkins and passed 6–0. The subsequent motion to approve budget amendments 8–14 was moved by Billy Ward and seconded by Mickey Tucker and passed 6–0. The board packet included a detailed multi-page finance report dated Aug. 29, 2025, listing revenues and expenditures across general-purpose, federal-projects, cafeteria, and other funds. The board minutes record motions to approve but do not restate line-item totals in the meeting text; the packet contains line-by-line figures and amendment detail. Clarifying details: the packet shows revenue and expenditure detail by fund (general purpose school, federal projects, cafeteria) and lists multiple line items and budget amendment forms; the board motion approved amendments 8–14 as presented in the packet. The minutes do not show extended debate. What’s next: amendments and financial statements will be reflected in district accounting and reported in subsequent board packets; any additional budget or contract approvals tied to these amendments would return to the board for action if required.
