The Taylor County School Board approved a slate of routine and consent items including the district’s fiscal year 2024‑25 annual financial report, the 2025‑26 student progression plan, a $22,000 memorandum of agreement with the ABLE Trust, and changes to several position hour allocations.

Finance staff presented the FY24‑25 annual financial report. The general fund revenues were reported as $39,466,000 and expenditures as $31,200,000, leaving an ending overall fund balance reported in the presentation as “a little over $11,000,000,” with unassigned funds of about $4,300,000 and a reported 9.09% fund balance. The capital outlay fund reflected elevated revenue driven by external grants for BBTC building projects; capital outlay receipts were reported as approximately $8.7 million with a capital outlay fund balance reported at $5,996,000. Food service and federal funds were presented with revenues and expenditures near parity for the year; small deficits and fund balances were noted in discussion.

Board member Mathis moved to approve the annual financial report; the motion passed by voice vote. The board also approved the 2025‑26 student progression plan (moved by Mathis, seconded by Carlton) and approved the ABLE Trust memorandum of agreement, which provides $22,000 to support students with disabilities; board member Carlton moved that item, and Mathis seconded.

Several personnel items were approved as consent or action items: a revised payroll clerk position restored the role to an eight‑hour assignment after an earlier four‑hour posting produced no qualified applicants; another agenda item changed two position numbers to eight‑hour assignments. Each personnel item was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.

Votes recorded on the public record were taken by voice; for each of these items the chair called for “all in favor,” board members responded “aye,” and the chair declared the motions carried. Where the agenda listed items as consent, items remained approved unless separately pulled by a board member and discussed.
