Budget committee advances Article 16 to raise $130,000 for adult education
Summary
Committee approved Article 16 (adult education) as presented; the program shows $307,000 revenue and listed expenses before salaries are completed, and requests a local share of $130,000 to be raised at the district budget meeting.
The RSU 16 budget committee approved Article 16, the adult education budget, after a short presentation by Stacy and discussion about remaining salary placeholders.
"The first thing you might notice is that we just we're not in balance yet," Stacy said, pointing to the packet where grand total revenue is shown as $307,000 and listed expenses (before salaries and benefits) total $268,007.59. She explained the out-of-balance figures reflect that salaries and benefits for adult education have not been finalized and are currently placeholders.
Stacy noted the program carries a fund balance of about $30,000 and has historically requested a $130,000 local appropriation. "So once we finish working on the salaries, we'll have that all in balance for you," she said.
During discussion, committee members confirmed the district will ask the district budget meeting to raise $130,000 locally for adult education. A committee member moved to accept Article 16 "as presented," the motion was seconded and the committee voted to approve the article.
Amy clarified that some adult-education employees are covered by work agreements still under negotiation and that contingency holds in the general fund are being adjusted to place negotiated amounts into the proper line items before finalizing the budget.
Article 16 will appear on the district warrant asking to raise $130,000 for adult education; details on final salaries and benefits will be completed as negotiations conclude.
