Tahlequah board approves monthly financials and multiple routine consent items
Summary
Board received a January financial report showing a general fund balance of $11,407,241.60 and approved minutes, monthly financial reports, surplus items, bids and contractual consent items and personnel hires in a series of routine motions and unanimous ayes.
The Tahlequah Public Schools Board on Feb. 17 heard a deputy treasurer’s monthly report and approved a slate of routine business items, including minutes, the monthly financial report, surplus items, bids and quotes, the consent docket and personnel hires.
Financial report: The deputy treasurer reported a Jan. 31 bank balance of $21,628,313.69 and a general fund balance of $11,407,241.60. Receipts for January were reported as $7,469,615.87 for the general fund; the building fund receipts were $445,103.31; the sinking and bond funds and activity funds were also reported. Child-nutrition numbers were reported separately by the superintendent.
Routine votes: The board moved and seconded approval of the Jan. minutes and recorded aye votes from members present. Following the financial presentation, the board moved to approve the monthly financial reports; that motion carried with recorded ayes. Subsequent agenda items passed after motions and seconds: surplus items 1–3, bids and quotes 1–4, the consent docket covering contracts/agreements and trips, the schedule of encumbrances, and personnel items including the employment of Amanda Dudley, Charliece Whitmore and Claude Williams as part-time para substitutes.
Attendance and voting: For the recorded roll calls shown in the meeting, votes were announced individually: Missus Nemo, Dr. Kaufman and Missus Crawford were each recorded as voting ‘Aye’ on items noted in the transcript; the presiding official also announced an ‘Aye.’ Dr. Eversole was noted as absent earlier in the meeting.
Why it matters: The monthly financial report is a regular check on district cash balances and program receipts; approving consent and personnel items is the established procedure for moving contracts, purchases and hires onto the district’s administrative record.
Next steps: District staff will report back on child nutrition and any budget impacts in the next monthly report; bids and contract awards will proceed as approved.
