School committee approves $55,600 transfer to cover high natural‑gas costs
Summary
Foxboro officials approved a $55,600 budget transfer May 27, moving funds from a private‑tuition account to the natural‑gas account to cover unusually high winter heating bills; the move passed unanimously.
The Foxboro School Committee unanimously approved a budget transfer of $55,600 on May 27 to move funds from the tuition/private‑school account into the district natural‑gas account to cover high heating costs after an unusually cold winter.
A district administrator explained that unusually cold weather and operational needs required continuous heating in some buildings to prevent frozen pipes, producing higher than budgeted gas expenses. The administrator said the district made temporary operational adjustments and credited facilities staff for quick response to two minor burst pipes.
A motion to approve the transfer was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote recorded as 5–0. The transfer uses existing operating funds to reconcile heating‑season overages; the administration said it will report budget reconciliation details in follow‑up materials to the committee.
