Pendleton County board reviews $796,185.53 in year-end grants and readies buses for public sale
Summary
Finance staff told the board the district closed the fiscal year in a strong position with $796,185.53 in grant/supplement adjustments and roughly $308,199 in transfers; several older buses were listed for public surplus sale and year-end processing is underway.
Pendleton County Schools' finance staff briefed the board on year-end budget revisions and pending surplus bus sales at the July 1 meeting.
The finance presentation (speaker 2) summarized several preapproved budget revisions effective June 30, 2025. The transcript lists supplement and grant adjustments totaling $796,185.53 (including staff-development and child-nutrition grants) and describes budget transfers of approximately $308,199 to reallocate year-end balances across program functions such as transportation, maintenance and instruction. The staff member said these items were preapproved at an earlier June meeting and asked the board to note them.
Finance staff also reported several school buses placed on public surplus for local bidding. The district advertised multiple vehicles (including 35- and 77-passenger buses). Staff said some sales would close later that week and the following week, and described typical sale prices in the $3,000—6,000 range depending on condition.
The finance update closed with the district processing fiscal-year payroll and working through a banking direct-deposit hiccup; staff said the district is otherwise closing the year in a strong financial position.
Why this matters: The reported supplemental grants and transfers adjust the district's available resources for next year and the bus surplus program affects transportation assets and local bidders. The board did not record any roll-call tallies during the finance discussion; figures are taken from staff remarks and the transcript and should be confirmed against official budget documents before publication.
