East Allegheny SD budget update flags $9,600 savings and rising insurance costs
Summary
Trustees reviewed finance items including a reported $9,600 savings identified by staff and concerns raised about 'really crazy high' insurance costs; trustees asked for monthly P-card statements to be added to the financial packet for review.
During the finance portion of the meeting, a committee member told trustees the district had identified approximately $9,600 in savings but that insurance costs remain unusually high.
"We're finding a savings of $9,600 and some user frustration," the committee member said, adding that the district would 'flush' the issue to reconcile user experience with savings. Trustees discussed adding monthly P-card (procurement card) statements to financial reports so they can review transactions and confirm how savings were realized.
Trustees also flagged insurance as a high-cost line item and requested more information. Staff agreed to include the requested P-card documentation in future monthly packets to assist trustees' oversight.
Next steps: staff will add monthly P-card statements to the finance packet and provide additional detail on insurance cost drivers at a subsequent meeting.
