Greene County commission approves multiple school budget amendments, including $1.8M for capital and $400K for school nutrition
Summary
The commission approved three resolutions adjusting Greene County Schools budgets: $400,000 to school nutrition, detailed revenue/expenditure adjustments including bonus payments, and $1.8 million moved from unassigned fund balance to capital outlay. Votes were unanimous on each resolution.
The Greene County Commission on March 16 approved a package of school budget amendments affecting the fiscal 2025–26 General Purpose and School Nutrition funds.
Resolutions approved by recorded vote included: • Resolution A: allocate $400,000 to the School Nutrition fund to cover identified needs. • Resolution B: adjust the General Purpose School Fund to reflect state and other revenue adjustments (an increase of $1,076,347.40 in revenues and offsetting appropriations of $1,082,598.48 reflected in line‑item changes, including $938,000 identified as bonus payments and related payroll accounts). • Resolution C: appropriate $1,800,000 from the Unassigned Fund Balance to the Regular Capital Outlay (building improvements and capital projects).
The resolutions include detailed line‑item adjustments recorded in the meeting packet. For Resolution B the minutes list account increases and decreases across salary and benefits accounts, instructional supplies, and contract lines; the package explicitly shows funds for previously approved staff bonuses and other district needs.
Each resolution was forwarded to the Commission by the Education Committee and carried by recorded vote at the meeting. The minutes record unanimous approval on the floor for the measures.
The action frees capital dollars for school building projects while supplementing school nutrition operations and recognizing adjustments in state and other revenues. The budget amendments also formalize bonuses and related payroll charges for the school system in the current fiscal year.
What’s next: County finance staff and school fiscal officers will implement the appropriation changes, with capital projects proceeding under the county’s capital outlay procedures and the School Nutrition Fund receiving the authorized transfer.
