Board accepts budget committee adjustments; Perkins grant adds $4,137
Summary
The board approved budget committee recommendations including maintaining pre-K, increases for contracted special-agency services related to IEPs, a $4,137 addition to the Perkins grant, and a $750 social-security clean-up entry; the board noted staffing changes such as the loss of a speech pathologist.
The Hardeman County School Board approved several budget adjustments recommended by the budget committee.
Committee members summarized the package: the general-purpose budget maintains pre-K; contracted special-agency services were increased to meet Individualized Education Program requirements (for example, occupational therapy); the Perkins grant received an additional $4,137; and a $750 social-security clean-up entry was added. The committee also noted a recent staffing loss—a speech pathologist—and said the district will use contracted services to provide coverage through the end of the school year.
A motion to approve the committee's recommendations was seconded by M. Carter and the board carried the motion. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote.
Board members invited questions; none were raised beyond the committee's presentation. Staff said they will continue to monitor service contracts and staffing needs and will return with updates as needed.
