Summary

The board approved a handful of budget amendments (including $23,860 for a welding-lab ventilation repair), accepted a $355,071 low bid from Porter Roofing Contractors for partial reroofing at LCA Academy using previously allocated capital funds, and approved December financial reports; a Bank of Franklin debit-card partnership using the Falcon logo was also approved.

At its meeting the Lincoln County School Board approved several finance and contracting items, including budget amendments, a roofing contract, and routine financial reports.

Finance director (speaker 17) presented budget amendments to the general-purpose school fund: $23,860 requested by Susan Welch (CTE) to cover welding-lab ventilation repairs; a $1,000 revision related to a public-school safety/security grant; and $3,225 — unspent donations from the Angel Tree program — to be combined with current donations for this year’s Angel Tree purchases. The board moved and approved the amendments by voice vote.

The board also considered bids for partial reroofing and gutter/valley work at LCA Academy (auditorium, gymnasium and portions of the office). After staff recommendations the board approved awarding the work to Porter Roofing Contractors at a low bid of $355,071, using previously allocated capital funds; staff said no additional funds were being pulled from outside the allocation.

Earlier on the agenda the board resumed consideration of a Bank of Franklin proposal to issue Falcon-branded debit cards; that item, postponed from a prior meeting, was moved forward and approved by voice vote.

Finally, the board reviewed and approved December financial reports presented by the finance director. Members thanked finance staff and bookkeepers for stewardship and accurate reporting.

The actions were approved by voice votes; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript. The finance director said supporting documentation and line-item details are available for board review.
