Lancaster ISD staff ask board to roll forward delayed purchase orders, slightly increase FY operating budget
Summary
Finance staff asked the Lancaster ISD Board of Trustees to amend the general operating fund to roll forward several purchase orders delayed by manufacturing, raising the bottom-line budget from about $87.89 million to roughly $88.00 million; no formal board vote on the amendment was recorded at the work session.
Miss Dana Mosley, presenting the finance item, asked trustees to approve amendments to the general operating fund to roll forward purchase orders that were not delivered on schedule because of manufacturing delays. She listed affected POs including athletic jump mats (PO 39471), industrial washers and dryers (PO 38826), press-box elevator work (PO 39548), two ice makers (PO 39549) and an infrastructure system (PO 39532). Mosley said the items were scheduled for delivery by Aug. 31 but arrived in September and asked the board to move the funding into the 2025–26 budget.
Mosley told the board the district’s previously approved bottom-line budget was $87,891,008.97; the roll-forward would increase it to approximately $88,000,002.47 according to the figures she presented. She said the funding sources for the items are identified in existing capital and operating accounts and described the request as a bookkeeping and procurement alignment to reflect deliveries and obligations.
Board members asked clarifying questions but the work session record does not show a formal vote or final approval on the amendment at this meeting; Mosley closed the presentation by inviting additional questions. The item was presented for approval "at the next board meeting," indicating trustees are expected to consider a formal action later.
Next steps: the amendment will be placed on the regular-meeting agenda for formal consideration and a recorded vote.
