School board approves FY25 budget amendment to add federal carryover funds

The Bibb County Regular School District board approved Budget Amendment 1 for fiscal year 2025 to add carryover funds from federal programs.

The superintendent explained that some federal programs did not spend all allocated funds in the prior year and those unspent amounts must be added to the current-year budget as carryover. The record indicates the board approved the amendment to make the budget accurate to spending requirements for federal grants.

The transcript did include an unclear reference to an amount described as "a hundred and 24 cents"; the meeting record did not provide a consolidated, verifiable dollar total for the amendment. The superintendent and staff characterized the amendment as a routine correction required by federal fund accounting rules.

Board members voted to approve the amendment during the regular agenda; no opposed votes were recorded in the meeting minutes.
