The Warren County School Board approved three budget-related actions during its meeting.
Budget amendment number 6: Administration reported that a TCRS audit found past payroll/portal mismatches that left retirement contributions unpaid for some employees. To avoid recouping funds from current or former employees, administration recommended using $112,006.67 from the district's undesignated fund balance to satisfy the TCRS liability. Mr. Brown moved the motion and Mr. Bennett seconded; the board approved the amendment by voice vote.
General purpose budget amendment number 7: Staff said this amendment corrects line-item allocations so the district's budget matches the state-approved e-plan for CTE-related lines. The transcript records the amount as "57,057" (text unclear); the amendment was moved and approved by voice vote.
School Nutrition budget amendment number 1: The board approved moving $250,000 from the equipment line to cover rising food and chemical costs and some maintenance needs. The amendment reallocates $125,000 to chemicals and $100,000 to food, with smaller transfers to office supplies and maintenance. Mr. Jeffins moved the motion, Mr. Brown seconded, and the board approved the amendment by voice vote ('Aye').
None of the three recorded votes included a roll-call tally in the transcript; all were approved by voice vote and recorded as "motion carries." Administration said the TCRS payment was reduced from an earlier estimate of $150,000 after compliance work with the county.
