At its May meeting, the Pamlico County Board of Education approved three local-fund budget amendments presented by a board member (S3) that add roughly $136,178.26 in revenues across multiple funds and allocate those dollars to specific needs.
The first amendment (local current expense, Fund 2) recognizes $72,815.04 in additional fines and forfeiture revenue. The amendment allocates $12,653.04 to the substitute-teacher budget, $40,162 to charter schools, and $20,000 to the utilities budget to ensure funds are available to finish the school year.
The second amendment (Fund 4, capital) recognizes $5,147.50 in insurance proceeds from a vendor-caused damage incident at Pamlico County High School and $1,688.33 from parents to repair or replace student devices; the total $6,835 was coded to building maintenance and device repairs.
The third amendment (other restricted funds, Fund 8) recognizes a $75 donation for the EC (Exceptional Children) music therapy/adaptive programs, $28,798 received for Medicaid direct services claims reporting, a $2,655.22 purchasing-card rebate, and a $25,000 installment of an AJ Fletcher grant intended for baseball stadium work and repairs, for a total increase of $56,528.22.
Each amendment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records "motion," "second" and "motion carries" for each.

Next steps: staff will code the recognized revenues to the specified accounts and proceed with the planned expenditures. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or names attached to a numeric tally; votes were recorded by voice.
