Summary
At a Carter County Board workshop, staff reviewed School Federal Project Study 142, Budget Amendment No. 6, including appropriations for Title III grants and decreases for IDEA Part B funds; no vote or final action was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
At the Carter County Board workshop, staff reviewed School Federal Project Study 142, Budget Amendment No. 6, describing proposed adjustments to federal grant accounts that would appropriate funds for Title III and show decreases to IDEA Part B grants.
Dr. Carfender, staff member, read the amendment language that included “appropriate and allocate funds for the Title 3 grants” and noted items describing decreases in IDEA Part B funding. A presenter identified as Lori reviewed the line items for the board and answered questions from members.
The amendment as presented included: Item 1 — appropriate and allocate funds for Title III grants; an item referencing a shift in numbering; and language recognizing a decrease in funds for IDEA Part B grants. The transcript does not record dollar amounts or a formal motion, mover/second, or a vote on the amendment.
Board members asked clarifying questions and the presenter offered to follow up. No formal action or adoption of the amendment is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
Why it matters: Title III funds support services for English learners and IDEA Part B funds support students with disabilities. Changes in those accounts affect program budgets and services provided by the district, but the transcript does not show whether the board adopted the changes or the dollar values involved.
The board directed staff to respond to questions; staff said they would follow up with additional details. The transcript does not show further timeline or required approvals for the amendment.
