Board approves Title I–IV applications; finance staff says deficit projections improving
Summary
The board approved the division’s federal Title I–IV applications after a staff presentation of estimated allocations; financial staff reported that a county‑projected deficit is trending downward as reimbursements are submitted and asked the public for patience as final projections are refined.
At the May 11 meeting the board heard an overview of federal program applications for 2026–27 and approved Title I, II, III and IV applications by voice vote.
Federal programs director Mrs. Bernard reviewed how Title funds are supplemental, highly regulated and tied to documented needs. She presented estimated allocations the division is using for planning: Title I approximately $2,100,000; Title II approximately $184,000; Title III approximately $16,000; and Title IV approximately $117,600. "These funds allow us to strategically provide additional academic, behavioral and instructional support for students and staff," Bernard said.
Financial staff also presented a monthly budget update: year‑to‑date revenues and expenditures were reported at about 83% of budget and staff told the board a county‑projected $2.2 million deficit was trending downward after updated reimbursement submissions. Staff warned that May and June reimbursements submitted to the state will likely be received in July, which affects cash timing.
The board approved vendor bills, payroll and the monthly financial statement by motion. Trustees asked staff to follow up with answers on specific vendor charges and copier/contract questions raised during the accounts review.
