Board reallocates $22,000 from chorus HVAC to band room and other school capital projects
Summary
The board approved a reappropriation of $22,000 originally budgeted for a chorus‑room HVAC project to other school capital items, including a $12,400 band‑room HVAC, $1,800 life‑skills HVAC and $7,800 pump‑house generator, after updated quotes raised project costs.
The Towne Bridal Board of Finance approved a request from the school department to reallocate $22,000 originally set for the chorus‑room HVAC to other school capital projects after updated quotes increased costs.
Chair introduced the request and the assistant superintendent explained that updated quotes came in higher than the original estimates. The assistant superintendent said the scholarship account previously included in student activity funds is being broken out into discrete line items in the general ledger to improve reconciliation and transparency.
Under the approved reappropriation, the board agreed to move $1,800 to a life‑skills HVAC line item, $12,400 to the band‑room HVAC (the band room stores instruments), and $7,800 to the pump‑house generator, using funds from account code 5740O as presented. A motion to approve the transfer was made, seconded and carried without recorded opposition.
Board members asked staff to confirm the correct line‑item descriptions and follow up on procurement compliance and vendor quotes. The assistant superintendent said she had coordinated with auditors on acceptable treatment for student activity and scholarship funds and is implementing POS reconciliation for cafeteria sales to reduce year‑end adjustments.
