Board approves year‑end budget amendments, data center purchase and surplus declaration

At its June 8 meeting the Cleveland County Board of Education approved routine year‑end finance items and two committee-recommended capital actions.

Trustees voted 7–0 to adopt an interim beginning budget resolution (identified as Resolution 2627) and to approve Budget Amendment No. 2, described as routine end-of-year adjustments and placement of newly received funds. Board members said the amendment follows a previously passed resolution allowing finance staff to complete year‑end adjustments before June 30 so the board would not need an emergency meeting at month’s end.

The Safety and Operations Committee had recommended two items for full‑board approval: (1) a data center solution using Tyber Creek virtual servers to be paid from capital funds, and (2) a surplus declaration for a restroom mobile unit at Springmore that is in poor condition. The board approved both recommendations by a recorded 7–0 vote.

Meeting materials and the committee report referenced a capital purchase amount that the transcript renders as “269,3548.” The exact procurement amount will be recorded in the board’s official packet; the board chair said the purchase will be funded from capital dollars. Trustees also approved a separate committee recommendation to list a surplus item on the district’s disposal process (minimum 30‑day online listing before discard if unsold).

The personnel report for the period was approved by vote (7–0) after the finance actions; the transcript records the tallies as unanimous but does not list names for every vote on the record.

Board members said they expect similar year‑end amendments until the state finalizes related funding details.
