Wayne County Board approves budget amendments to cover bus purchases and TCAT program support
Summary
The board approved budget amendments moving funds from fund balance to cover five buses and to account for TCAT dual‑enrollment and instructor salary sharing; the changes were presented as unchanged from the packet.
The Wayne County Board of Education approved budget amendments that moved money from the district’s fund balance to the operating budget to pay for five buses and made other adjustments related to TCAT dual‑enrollment and a shared welding instructor salary.
Administration staff said the board had authorized five buses in the fall and the amendments moved the previously reserved fund balance into the operating budget so invoices could be paid when the buses were delivered. Staff also noted TCAT (Tennessee College of Applied Technology) provides funding for portion of dual‑enrollment seats and shares half the salary of a welding instructor at TCAT Crump; the amendments recorded those amounts in the district budget.
A motion to approve the budget amendments was made and passed on roll call; the transcript records Districts 1 and 2 absent and affirmative votes from the remaining districts.
No new revenues were requested at the meeting; the amendments reallocated existing fund balance and recorded partner payments and salary sharing for TCAT programs.
