Summary
Elkhorn Public Schools' April 13, 2026 board packet financial reports show multimillion-dollar balances across funds, large payroll-related outflows and sizeable vendor payments in March, including health insurance deductions and capital/contractor disbursements.
Elkhorn Public Schools' board packet financial reports, printed April 13, 2026, list fund-by-fund balances and transaction registers for the month ending March 31, 2026. The packet includes check registers and non-check batch postings for multiple funds, showing both recurring payroll costs and large vendor payments.
The packet lists the BUILDING FUND with a beginning balance of $18,850,591.74 (March 1) and an ending balance reported at $24,706,321.96 as of March 31, 2026, after receipts and disbursements recorded in the report. The register for payroll and payroll-related deductions shows large postings to benefits and retirement accounts: for example, a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska payroll deduction of $1,308,734.01 and Nebraska Retirement System postings exceeding $1.1 million in the period.
The General Fund and accompanying check registers include numerous vendor payments for supplies, services and maintenance. The packet shows repeated payments to district vendors (Capital Sanitary Supply, WalDinger Corp., Prairie Mechanical and others) and carries subtotals across the registers; one excerpt lists $2,182,759.99 as the total for that check-run excerpt. Non-check batch listings show many posted AP entries for vendors such as Sapp Bros., Waldinger Corp. and Harlow's School Bus Service.
Separate fund summaries highlight other district operations. The ACTIVITY FUND is shown with an ending balance of $1,919,035.56 and a page-level total of $195,696.62 for listed activity checks. The HOT LUNCH FUND reports an ending balance of $2,921,607.16 and contains multiple large posted payments to SODEXO and Nebraska Star Beef for food service. The STUDENT FEE FUND lists an ending balance of $460,791.06 and routine small-dollar checks for student activities and fees.
Capital and depreciation-ledger entries are notable in the packet. The DEPRECIATION FUND register includes two large Staples Technology Solutions payments ($572,140.00 and $60,900.00) and lists a total amount of $652,240.00 for the excerpt, signaling sizable technology and capital purchases recorded to that fund. The CONSTRUCTION FUND and BUILDING FUND pages (separately detailed) contain multi-hundred-thousand-dollar payments to construction and design vendors.
The packet is primarily a listing of posted checks and ledger entries rather than narrative or explanatory material. The board packet does not include textual explanations for individual vendor contracts or the district’s procurement decisions; additional context such as contract authorizations, budget approvals or timing of capital projects would need to be obtained from district staff or meeting minutes. The reports should be read as the district’s reported ledger activity for the stated dates.
