Board approves consent agenda: December checks, budget adjustments and partial mental-health grant payment
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda including December checks totaling $3,720,875.29, a $100,000 capital outlay award and a partial mental-health grant distribution of $115,144; it also accepted donations and approved a $12,000 pre‑K transportation contract.
Director of Finance Michelle McCain summarized the finance items on the consent agenda and asked the board to approve checks written in December totaling $3,720,875.29. She presented two budget adjustments: a $100,000 special capital outlay award that can be used for maintenance, security or CTE purposes, and a partial distribution of the district’s mental-health grant (McCain recorded this month’s amount as $115,144), described earlier in the meeting by Associate Superintendent Cindy Barrios as "just over $115,000." McCain said she expects additional monthly distributions but cautioned that timing remains uncertain until the federal office confirms schedules.
McCain also reported recent donations: $2,000 from the Moose Lodge for Cliff Boys and Girls Basketball and $1,000 from Morades for New Mexico for Silver High girls basketball. The board approved the consent agenda and budget adjustments by voice vote.
Separately, Director of Transportation Antonio Endozzola requested approval for a 2025–26 pre-K transportation contract (an additional secondary contract alongside feeder routes) funded through the pre-K grant for $12,000; the board approved the contract. McCain asked for board approval for the finance reports and the items were approved after motion, second and voice vote.
Board members thanked donors and finance staff and noted that the increased cash position reflects funds reserved for bond projects and scheduled repayments.
