School committee moves funds to cover custodial and student-service overages
Summary
The Southern Berkshire committee approved several intra‑fund budget transfers: $10,152.85 for student services (homeless transport), a small transfer for energy costs, and a $62,793 transfer to cover building custodial/contract overages, including a final invoice of about $29,000.
The school committee voted unanimously to approve a set of intra‑fund budget transfers to close out overages in student services and buildings and grounds.
Business administrator Matthew Myers explained the transfers: $10,152.85 to cover additional homeless student transportation costs associated with two students in the BECF program; $3,870.28 moved into energy to cover electricity/utility charges; and a larger $62,793 transfer to buildings & grounds to reconcile overages tied to custodial contract provisions and an outstanding invoice of about $29,000. The transfer source accounts were named on the transfer forms in the packet.
Members asked for tracking of solar-generated credits and confirmation from the treasurer that the transfers are allowable; Myers said the district treasurer approved moving funds from identified salary/benefit lines that had available balances. The roll-call vote to approve the package of transfers was unanimous.
Committee members said the transfers are intended to reconcile fiscal-year accounts prior to close and to avoid carrying unresolved overages into next fiscal planning.
