Finance committee moves federal budget amendments forward; recommends $75 per-meeting chair pay and possible back pay
Summary
Ms. Elliott told the committee two federal budget amendments (≈$10,000 for CTE Perkins and ≈$47,000 for Pre-K special education) that will not affect fund balance were recommended to the full board; the committee also approved $75 per meeting going forward for the Executive Committee chair and recommended back pay of about $1,000–$1,200 to the full board.
Ms. Elliott reported the January 2026 financials are generally on track though some accounts are trending higher; staff will investigate and prepare budget amendments where needed. The committee reviewed two federal budget amendments that Ms. Elliott said will not affect the fund balance: an increase of about $10,000 for CTE Perkins and roughly $47,000 in additional federal funds for Pre-K special education. The committee voted unanimously to forward these recommendations to the full board for approval.
Separately, members reviewed historical practice on compensation for Executive Committee chairs. Committee members approved paying the chair $75 per meeting going forward and recommended the full board consider back pay for the current chairman in an amount estimated between $1,000 and $1,200. The committee also discussed recruitment measures for bus drivers and local advertising, and noted seven individuals pursuing CDL certification.
The items were forwarded to the full board for final action; no appropriation changes to the fund balance were reported at this meeting.
