Murfreesboro City Schools accepted $966,000 in City Schools Foundation funding to renovate a mobile resource van for family outreach and books, approving a budget amendment to offset corresponding expenditures.
The Murfreesboro City Schools Board on Feb. 25 approved a $966,000 budget amendment to accept City Schools Foundation revenue and spend it to retrofit a mobile resource van for family outreach, communications staff said.
The amendment recognizes new revenue from the City Schools Foundation and offsets expenditures in the communications account to retrofit the van to hold books and other family and outreach resource materials. Board materials provided to members show the increase as fully funded by the foundation grant.
The motion to approve the amendment was made and seconded during the meeting and passed on a voice vote. No amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting discussion.
Superintendent remarks and the board packet described the remodel as intended to expand outreach capacity, but the meeting did not include a construction schedule, vendor names or a timeline for the retrofit.
