Chilton County Schools reviews April finances; approves budget amendment and personnel slate
Summary
A staff presenter told the board the district has received 60.01% of budgeted revenues through April with expenditures at 47.17%; the board approved the financial report, a budget amendment (part B) and personnel items A–L, and confirmed non-renewals were included on the assembly list.
A staff presenter told the Chilton County Schools board on May 18 that through the seventh month of the fiscal year the district had received 60.01% of budgeted revenues (the target is about 58%), with expenditures at 47.17% of budget.
The presenter reported accounts payable of $3,844,786.87 and gross payroll expenditures of $7,183,145.50 for April 2026, which included end-of-year supplements. The general fund ended the month with revenues under expenditures by $886,080.32 and an ending fund balance of $59,595,621.77, or about 7.59 months in reserve (not counting certificates of deposit).
Following the report, a board motion to approve the financial report passed without recorded opposition. The board also approved a previously discussed budget amendment (part B) and then voted on personnel items A through L — covering new hires, retirements, substitutes, CNP staff, non-renewals, transfers and summer employees — after a board member confirmed that names listed for non-renewal were included on the assembly list presented to the board.
Why it matters: The district's revenue and reserve levels are key indicators of near-term stability for staffing and operations; the board's approval moves the stated budget adjustments and personnel actions forward into implementation.
What happens next: The personnel and budget amendment approvals will be reflected in the district's administrative records; the transcript records no additional public debate or roll-call vote tallies for these motions.
