Board hears finance report and approves multiple carryforwards and appropriations
Summary
Mr. Trump reported FY25 and FY26 budget positions, noting delayed federal reimbursements and higher early‑year expenditures; the board approved cafeteria and textbook carryforwards ($633,062.19 and $643,776.86) and appropriated $22,583 from escrow to operations.
Mr. Trump reported the division's FY25 operations were 95.63% expended and said $48,468.36 in federal grant reimbursements were delayed at the state level but expected in September. He told the board an initial projection for state carryforward funds stands at $490,082.60 and cautioned August FY26 figures show elevated early expenditures (12.83% vs. a target near 9.9%) driven by start‑of‑year one‑time costs such as tuition and software renewals.
On action items, the board approved by voice vote the carryforward of the cafeteria fund balance of $633,062.19 to support cafeteria improvements and staff incentives and approved preapproval to carry forward the textbook fund balance of $643,776.86 for instructional materials. Mr. Trump also requested appropriation of $22,583.00 released from escrow (payroll expenses that had been held pending a personnel matter) to operations and security; the board approved that appropriation and heard the funds would be applied toward a projected local match for a DCJS school safety personnel grant.
Mr. Trump and board members discussed how accounting reports present fund charges across fiscal years and clarified account code indicators for state, federal and textbook funds. No motions to reverse the appropriations were recorded; all three requests were approved during the meeting.
