Lancaster ISD staff ask trustees to roll delayed purchase orders into 2025–26 general fund
Summary
District staff proposed rolling several delayed purchase orders into the 2025–26 general operating budget after late deliveries; the presentation listed athletic, facility and infrastructure items and noted the bottom-line budget previously approved was $87,891,008.97.
Dana Mosley, the district finance presenter, told the Lancaster ISD Board of Trustees on Nov. 12 that staff are requesting budget amendments to roll several purchase orders from the 2024–25 budget into 2025–26 because equipment deliveries were delayed.
"This is a request to increase the bottom line budget for the following purchase orders," Mosley said, listing orders for athletic jump mats, industrial washers and dryers, press-box elevator work, two ice makers and infrastructure work that arrived after the original delivery date.
Mosley noted the board had previously approved a bottom-line general operating budget of $87,891,008.97. The transcript contained a garbled presentation of the proposed increase and the final total; the district did not provide a clear numeric increase in the work session. Trustees asked whether the purchases are being carried from the 2024–25 budget, and Mosley confirmed they are being rolled into 2025–26.
No vote was taken at the work session; Mosley characterized the item as a proposal to be placed on the agenda for the next regular board meeting for formal approval.
The district requested trustees review the amendment language and prepare to act at the upcoming meeting. The board did not adopt any budget changes during the Nov. 12 work session.
