Board approves building-fund appropriation, renews Lincoln High alternative-campus application and accepts donations
Summary
At its May 5 meeting, the School District No. Re-3 Fort Morgan Board of Education approved a supplemental appropriation from the building fund, renewed Lincoln High School's alternative-campus designation, and accepted two donations; all motions passed on roll-call votes.
The School District No. Re-3 Fort Morgan Board of Education on May 5 approved a series of action items including a resolution to appropriate beginning fund balance for the building fund, renewal of Lincoln High School's alternative education campus designation, and two community donations.
Why it matters: the building-fund appropriation authorizes district spending on capital projects outside the general fund; the Lincoln High renewal is an annual compliance step for the alternative campus; donations support school programming and extracurricular activities.
