Raytown C-2 board approves FY26 budget, authorizes $15 million statutory transfer and $3 million to capital projects
Summary
The Raytown C-2 Board approved the FY26 budget, authorized a transfer under RSMo. 165.111 of up to $15,000,000 to cover teacher-related expenditures, approved a $3,000,000 transfer to the capital fund for bond wrap-up and bus purchases, and adopted two staff leave policies.
The Raytown C-2 Board of Education approved its FY26 budget and several budget transfers during a special meeting, including authority to transfer up to $15,000,000 under state statute to cover teacher-related expenditures and a separate $3,000,000 transfer from the general incidental fund to the capital/CapEx fund for ongoing capital projects.
A board member moved that the district be authorized to transfer funds “from the general incidental fund through the service revenue teachers fund to cover all expenditures that are not covered by another source of revenue per RSMo. 165.111,” and to permit an amount not to exceed $15,000,000. District staff explained the figure is a conservative estimate based on funds already distributed plus projected remaining payments and said they expect the total will be less than $15,000,000: “I am expecting it will be less than 15,000,000. I'd like to go a little bit high to be sure that we that we've disconnected,” Jackie (speaker 6) said.
Trustees also approved a $3,000,000 transfer to the capital fund to wrap up bond projects and to meet capital outlay needs, including bus purchases. Presenter (speaker 4) explained the transfer is similar in purpose to the teacher-fund transfer and said fund 4 will support purchases planned for the summer.
The FY26 budget was moved, seconded and approved in the same meeting. The board also adopted two personnel policies, GDBDA (support staff leave) and GCBDA (professional staff short-term leaves), following a motion and second.
Votes and motions: the meeting transcript records motions, seconds, and recorded “Aye” responses for each action and indicates the motions passed. The transcript does not map every recorded “Aye” to a single board member voice for a full roll-call table in the record; recorded roll-call exchanges show each named officer called and the board approved each motion.
What happens next: staff did not specify additional funding sources beyond the general incidental and capital funds, but indicated follow-up implementation and capital purchases will proceed as scheduled. The board adjourned at 5:54 p.m.
Provenance: topic introduced SEG 005 (statutory transfer motion) and the FY26 budget motion introduced SEG 091; capital transfer motion introduced SEG 063; policy adoption motion introduced SEG 298 and adjournment recorded SEG 320.
