Finance flags P‑card use and travel coding as drivers of a year‑over‑year variance
Summary
The finance presentation identified a $445,009.70 total district travel figure (all funds) and $99,408 on the general fund and said coding differences between on‑site PD and off‑site travel likely explain a large portion of the variance; the CFO will report total P‑card counts and card ownership.
Mister Pettit told the board the district's total travel expenses across funds were $445,009.70 for the year and that the general fund portion was about $99,408. He said much of the apparent increase is due to inconsistent coding distinguishing on‑site professional development from off‑site travel and pledged to provide more detail once ledger recoding and consultant analysis are complete.
Chair and board members asked who receives P‑cards and how many are active; Pettit replied p‑cards are signed out in a principal or director's name and that he would provide the total count. The finance lead also said retraining and general ledger recoding are underway to improve transparency and to ensure food and gift purchases from taxpayer revenue are limited and properly justified.
