Summary

Charles County Public Schools' CFO requested moving money from the unassigned fund balance to cover unanticipated FY26 increases in transportation, health insurance and special education, warning that continued underfunding could deplete the district's reserves.

Ms. Acton, identified in the transcript as the district chief financial officer, asked the board to approve transferring funds from the unassigned fund balance to cover unanticipated increases in fiscal year 2026 for transportation, health insurance and special education. The transcript states Ms. Acton emphasized the decision's criticality and the implications if the district continues to be underfunded and the fund balance is depleted.

No dollar amounts beyond later references to transportation subsidy for PSOTA (over $300,000 annually) are recorded in the transcript for this request, and the record does not show a formal vote or a motion tied to the CFO request in the excerpt provided. The request was presented to the board for consideration during the meeting.
