Selectmen OK two $25,000 disbursements for Greenland students and gym repairs
Summary
The board approved two $25,000 withdrawals from expendable trust funds: one to SAU 50 to cover Greenland students' Portsmouth High School tuition and another to Greenland Central School for gym maintenance/repairs; check numbers were assigned for bookkeeping.
The Greenland Board of Selectmen approved two separate $25,000 disbursements from expendable trust funds to cover high school tuition reimbursements and gym maintenance.
Trustees discussed two SAU requests: one was a $25,000 tuition reimbursement intended to cover Greenland students attending Portsmouth High School, and the other was a $25,000 draw from the school building properties and grounds expendable trust for maintenance work on the Greenland Central School gym. Trustees and staff clarified which trust funds would be used, whether the SAU or the school should receive the check, and whether the requests had been properly vetted through a public hearing.
Clerk (S6) proposed issuing Check No. 962 for the tuition reimbursement to SAU 50 and Check No. 963 for the Greenland Central School gym work. The chair and other trustees moved and seconded the motions; recorded votes of "Aye" were heard and the board confirmed approval. Trustees asked staff to confirm final payee details before issuing the checks.
Why it matters: these are routine disbursements from designated expendable trusts that fund student tuition and school maintenance; they affect SAU budgeting and the town's trust-fund accounting.
Staff will finalize payable details and ensure ledger entries show the checks drawn from the correct trust accounts. The board recorded the votes and closed the item.
