District presents first‑read budget reallocations, including security system funding
Summary
Jeff Taylor presented first‑read budget amendments moving personnel dollars into supplies and materials and equipment, including funds for an open‑gate security system and professional development; federal grant reallocations (Title I/II/III, IDEA) were also listed.
Jeff Taylor presented proposed budget amendments during the study session framed as realignments within special education, federal projects and business affairs.
Taylor said the amendments reallocate approximately $59,460 from salaries and benefits to supplies and materials under special education and move $735 from special education support to supplies and materials for other student support. He described transfers into equipment to fund an open‑gate security system in high schools and referenced two amounts in the transcript ($500,001 and $283) for equipment moves; he also noted $6,000 moved into pre‑K professional development and other targeted reclassifications between contracted services and professional development.
Taylor further summarized adjustments to federal projects, listing additional revenues and expenditures for Title I, Title II, Title III and IDEA grants and noting reallocations among federal grant accounts. The presentation was brief and given as a first read; the transcript does not record a board vote.
Board members asked no substantive questions in the recorded segment. The amendments will return for formal consideration in a future meeting as required by board procedure.
