Board accepts $6,000 robotics grant and shifts budgeted registration funds to equipment
Summary
The board accepted a $6,000 Manufacturing Innovation Fund grant for Joe Barlo High School’s robotics program and approved moving an equivalent $6,000 previously budgeted for registrations into equipment/supplies so the grant can be used as restricted by the funder.
The Regional School District 09 Board of Education voted to accept a $6,000 Manufacturing Innovation Fund grant awarded to the Joe Barlo High School robotics team and approved an accounting transfer to allow the district to use those grant funds as intended.
Administration explained the grant is restricted to registration fees. Because the district had already budgeted $6,000 for robotics registrations, administrators asked the board to move the board’s existing $6,000 registration allotment from account series 810 into equipment/supplies (account 732) to cover supplies and equipment. Administration said the grant repeats next year and suggested aligning the line in next year’s budget to avoid repeating transfers.
A motion to accept the grant and shift the budgeted registration dollars to equipment was made and seconded; the board approved the combined motion. No individual board mover was captured in the transcript; the vote was recorded as passing by the board.
