Board approves June reconciliation of $115.5M, cybersecurity renewal and multiple curriculum and technology purchases
Summary
Finance presenter reported a June 30 reconciled balance of $115,495,518.89 and the board approved a Palo Alto antivirus renewal ($43,350), a series of curriculum purchases (several funded by Title I), Chromebooks for Shannon Johnson Elementary ($34,900) and other routine procurement and position ratifications.
Finance representative Mark Woods told the board that the district ended the fiscal period on June 30 with a reconciled balance of $115,495,518.89 and roughly $19,000,000 invested at rates ranging about 3.85% to 4% to protect cash flow until the main revenue arrives later in the year. “We will get started with our bank reconciliation. As of June 30, the district ended with a reconciled balance of a $115,495,518.89,” Woods said.
Woods said auditors are expected in late September or early October and that final audit reports will be provided to the board in November. The board then considered and approved a slate of routine purchasing and policy items, including a $43,350 renewal for Palo Alto antivirus and endpoint disaster-recovery software.
The board approved multiple curriculum and software purchases — Imagine Learning ($69,571.58), Frontline Technologies ($61,755.09), and several Savvas curriculum packages for preschool and various schools — and authorized a $34,900 purchase of 100 Chromebooks for Shannon Johnson Elementary using Title I funds. Several curriculum purchases (Daniel Boone, Madison Middle, Kingston) were explicitly noted as paid with Title I funds.
The board also authorized the superintendent to approve charter bus use for in-state athletic competitions during the 26-27 school year and created and ratified new full-time teaching positions for Shannon Johnson Elementary and Kirksville Elementary (funding sources vary as stated on the record). All motions referenced in the meeting were approved by voice vote as recorded in the transcript.
