Commission approves multiple school budget amendments and federal-project realignments
Summary
The commission approved several Claiborne County Board of Education budget amendments (Res. 2021-024 through 2021-029) including ESSER20 realignments, CTE Perkins adjustments, a $193,563.95 TASC refund, small grants totaling $10,000, insurance recovery of $11,927.65, and expanded speech-therapy revenue and staffing lines.
Claiborne County commissioners on April 19 approved a package of school budget amendments presented by the Board of Education and sponsored by Commissioner Shawn Peters.
Resolutions 2021-024 through 2021-029 collectively adjust federal project budgets and general-purpose lines: ESSER20 account-line realignments to match the state grant budget; CTE Perkins equipment and travel adjustments; adding a $193,563.95 refund from TASC to the general purpose budget; incorporating two $5,000 Banelle/IVA grants for instructional equipment; accounting for $11,927.65 in insurance recovery (split between maintenance and vehicle parts); and increasing revenue and expenditure lines tied to an expanded speech-therapy billing program (a $60,000 revenue increase with supporting salary and contracted-service lines).
Why it matters: The amendments align county school budgets with state grant reporting requirements, allow receipt and expenditure of refunds and grant awards, and add program capacity in speech therapy.
Vote and procedure: Commissioners combined items 5–10 and approved the package by roll-call vote, 21–0.
Next steps: The school finance director will implement the budget adjustments in the county accounting system to match state reporting requirements and to permit expenditures under the revised grant and general-fund lines.
Provenance: Resolutions and related discussion (SEG 013–SEG 019).
