Summary
The board approved January 2026 Head Start financial reports, FY25/26 Head Start budget revisions and a carryover/reprogram application (grant #03CH013310-02) to use $25,172 in Nutrition and Healthy Eating supplemental funds in the next budget period; the items passed unanimously.
The Scott County School Board on March 3 approved multiple Head Start financial items, including the January 2026 financial report, FY25/26 budget revisions and a carryover/reprogram application that would move $25,172 in unobligated Nutrition and Healthy Eating supplemental funds into the next budget period.
Superintendent John Ferguson presented Head Start materials on the board's consent agenda. The board voted unanimously to approve the January 2026 Head Start financial report, the 2025-26 budget revisions and the carryover/reprogram application (#03CH013310-02).
According to the Head Start materials attached to the meeting (Appendices C'E), federal-funded enrollment for the grant period is shown as 137 total (105 Head Start, 32 Early Head Start). The carryover request documents state $25,172 is requested for reprogramming (HSP $19,559 / EHS $5,613) and identifies a $6,293 proposed non-federal match comprised of volunteer family-engagement time. The application describes intended uses that include farm-to-table resources (raised garden beds and gardening supplies), healthy meals and snacks for family engagement events, contractual costs for nutrition trainers and a Health and Safety Fair designed to expand family education and community partnerships.
The board also approved 2025-26 second-semester, fourth-quarter school allocations and Head Start budget revisions as presented in the meeting materials. The Head Start financial packet included detailed drawdowns, payroll and in-kind match tables and projections for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The motion language recorded in the minutes shows the approvals were made on motions by individual board members with unanimous "all members voting aye" outcomes; specific line items and supporting appendices were listed in the meeting packet.
