Summary
Board reviewed budget and fund-code reports, asked staff to reconcile line‑item differences, and approved the bills list with the addition of a $261,785.09 Wright Brothers invoice for December work.
Board finance staff presented the district’s budget overview and fund-code structure, explaining how fund codes identify revenue sources and spending categories. Finance staff reported the district will receive another state payment this week that will bring state receipts to about 90% of expected amounts. They also described the school modernization fund: a carryover and designated uses such as a middle‑school HVAC project.
A trustee raised detailed reconciliation questions after reviewing the fiscal modernization report and flagged several line-item differences (thousands of dollars) that needed verification; finance staff agreed to investigate whether the system was pulling revised instead of original budget figures and to return with corrected reports.
During the bills review, trustees highlighted several charges, including software renewals, email-protection services and dome surveying. The board added a $261,785.09 December invoice from Wright Brothers to the bills list for payment and approved the bills by voice vote.
No roll-call tallies were recorded for the bills vote in the transcript; trustees voiced unanimous approval when asked. The board asked staff to provide follow-up detail on the flagged budget anomalies at a future meeting.
