District finance presenters said the general fund increased about 3.8% year‑over‑year and that a one‑time state MSOC payment of $195,000 boosted general fund revenues. “We actually received $277,000 in e‑rate,” a presenter said, describing federal reimbursements for telecommunications and internet upgrades.
