Millington board approves FY26 budget amendment; carries over grant funds and adds CIP allocation
Summary
The Millington Municipal Schools Board of Education approved FY26 budget amendment 2, recording several grant carryovers and new grants across general, federal and capital funds and accepting a county CIP allocation increase.
The Millington Municipal Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to approve fiscal year 2026 budget amendment 2, a package of carryovers, grant awards and a capital‑improvement allocation the district had previewed at a work session.
Finance staff described four general‑fund items: an innovative schools model carryover of $93,904; carryover of $51,547 for the state’s pay‑at‑pre‑K grant; a new Public School Security Grant of $50,428; and a Preschool Access for All Network grant of $20,000. The Preschool Access for All grant was described as a three‑year award aimed at promoting inclusion of special‑education students with general‑education peers; the district reported it received $30,000 in year one, $20,000 this year and expects $10,000 the following year if requirements are met.
Federal‑fund amendments included Title I carryover of $193,799; a Title III carryover read aloud in the meeting as "20,000 thousand $446" (recorded here as $20,446 to reflect the verbal readback); IDEA Part B carryover of $49,269; IDEA preschool carryover of $599; a new McKinney‑Vento (Title IX) homeless student grant of $11,000; and a small adjustment reducing the CTE Perkins allocation by $193.
Capital spending was increased by $385,156, a county CIP allocation that the district reported was higher than originally budgeted and will be added to the district’s capital plan.
Board member Barbara Gray moved the amendment and Cody Childress seconded. The board conducted a roll call; all voting members present voted aye and the motion passed. There was brief discussion and clarifying questions about specific grants and carryovers; staff confirmed that one special‑education grant referenced was carryover (not pending legislation) and described the multi‑year preschool inclusion grant. No amendments to the package were offered during the meeting.
The vote record was captured by roll call during the meeting; directors present voted in favor and the amendment passed.
