Board to reclassify 27 capital projects after $2.5 million state grant for Freedom High HVAC
Summary
Finance staff said a $2.5 million state grant for Freedom High School HVAC will allow 27 previously local‑funded capital projects to be reclassified to state lottery repair-and-renovation funds; board placed the reclassification on the consent agenda and asked for clarifying backup on incurred vs projected charges.
Finance director Mr. Lawson told the board that the district secured a $2.5 million state grant for an HVAC project at Freedom High School and proposed reclassifying 27 previously local‑funded capital projects to state lottery repair‑and‑renovation funds. He said the reclassification would move about $287,000 in already‑approved local capital spending onto state funds and that the change requires signature cover sheets for each project.
Mr. Lawson also presented two budget amendments tied to lottery funds and repair‑and‑renovation work and asked the board to include the reclassification as a consent agenda item for the March 30 meeting packet. Board members asked for line‑item details and for an explanation of which architectural fees and incurred costs are covered, and requested a separate vote or breakout for central‑office items if needed.
What’s next: Administration will provide the detailed backup on the 27 cover sheets and distinguish incurred costs from projected expenses before seeking final action on the reclassification and associated budget amendments.
