Board approves budget amendments, roof contract and PRC 071 supplement coverage
Summary
Administrators detailed budget revisions (including a $122,906 increase in EC funds), recommended a $163,525 roofing contract with PRS for multiple high‑school roofs, and the board voted to adopt Dr. Hall’s recommendation to cover two teachers omitted under the state PRC‑071 supplement.
The board reviewed multiple financial and procurement items, approved budget amendments, accepted a roofing contractor recommendation and adopted a personnel supplement recommendation.
Rachel Creasy (speaker 14) summarized pending budget amendments: revision 79 equates to roughly two‑thirds of a teacher position (about $50,000 in the 001 fund conversion), and revision 80 reflected an additional $122,906 in Exceptional Children (EC) funding. Creasy described accounting conversions used to pay international faculty from non‑001 PRCs and noted fund‑level adjustments as the fiscal year progresses.
John (speaker 16) presented four separate roof projects at Elkin High School (gym roof, field house roof, boiler‑room roof, elevator area) and recommended Professional Roofing Services (PRS) of Mount Airy based on price and experience; PRS's combined bid totaled $163,525 (Triad Roofing's alternative bid was $226,468). The board accepted the recommendation and moved forward.
Dr. Hall recommended district coverage for two teachers who would otherwise be excluded under the state PRC 071 supplement; the board moved to adopt his recommendation and recorded numerous "Aye" responses before carrying the motion.
The board approved the budget amendments presented and accepted the personnel report for 03/24/2024. Administrators noted the district will present its funding request to the county commissioners on April 22 and requested $1,375 per student (ADM 879) for current expense — a request that would total $1,208,625 — while capital outlay remains $314 per student under county formula.
Board discussion included a suggestion for periodic joint work sessions with county commissioners to keep lines of communication open for capital and emergency funding needs.
