Board approves permanent appropriations, maintenance transfer and routine finance items
Summary
The Canal Winchester board approved permanent appropriations for fiscal year 2024–25, a $208,380 transfer from permanent improvement to the classroom maintenance/facility fund, and standard monthly items including payments in lieu of transportation and consent agenda items.
The Canal Winchester Local Schools board approved the district's permanent appropriations for fiscal year 2024–25, a routine transfer to comply with Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) maintenance requirements and several recurring finance items.
Treasurer Roberts reported the district received second‑half real estate tax settlements for tax year 2023 and that property‑tax revenue was slightly ahead of the forecast, with property tax receipts at about 47% of expected levels compared with a forecasted 45%. Roberts said the increase compared with last year was primarily due to a Franklin County reappraisal and a delayed tangible personal property payment that was received.
The board approved permanent appropriations (a procedural step that allows the district to expend funds through the fiscal year) and the motion carried by roll call (George, Barnes, Green, Talley and Twist all voting yes). Treasurer Roberts explained the appropriation filing follows the temporary appropriations approved in July and is required to legally write checks for each fund.
The board also approved a fund‑to‑fund transfer of $208,380 from the Permanent Improvement fund to the classroom maintenance/facility fund (O34) to meet OFCC set‑aside requirements tied to prior renovation projects. Roberts said that after the transfer the O34 fund balance would be close to $2 million. Roll call for the transfer recorded unanimous yes votes.
Other routine actions approved included the consent agenda (minutes, donations, personnel recommendations, supplemental contracts and an overnight eighth‑grade trip to Washington, D.C.), monthly approvals for payment in lieu of transportation for certain private‑school students (fixed state‑set dollar amount), and personnel hires and resignations listed in the consent agenda. All motions passed by recorded roll calls with unanimous yes votes where recorded.
Ending: Treasurer Roberts said the district will update forecasts in November; the board approved the finance motions needed to operate for the year.
