Franklin County board approves FY26 budget, budget amendments and funding plan for Rock Creek roof
Loading...
Summary
The board approved the FY26 general purpose budget (including step increases for certified and classified staff), approved a resolution amending beginning fund balance and a budget amendment that authorizes a county commission request to pull funds for the Rock Creek roof, and accepted the monthly finance report by voice vote.
The Franklin County School Board approved several finance items during the meeting: receipt and filing of the April monthly report, a resolution amending the beginning fund balance and a budget amendment that includes authority to request county commission action to release funds for the Rock Creek roof, and the FY26 general purpose (GP) school budget and associated budgets.
Finance staff told the board the budget document includes step increases for certified staff (including a 4.5% increase on first-line certified salaries to meet a gubernatorial target and 3.5% step increases thereafter) and raises for classified staff; the budget also contemplates an anticipated growth amount the district expects (the presenter said if that growth funding does not materialize, the district will forgo the planned increase). The board approved the FY26 GP budget on a motion and voice vote.
The motion on the budget amendment was linked to a planned request to the county commission to pull designated funds for the Rock Creek roof so procurement can begin; the presenter said the county commission hearing is scheduled and the district expects to issue purchase orders to permit work to start.
Votes were recorded as voice votes in the meeting transcript; exact roll-call tallies were not specified in the record provided.
