Board presses administration on high overtime costs, encumbrances in finance report
Summary
Board members asked the finance director and superintendent for details after a monthly finance report showed sizable overtime totals (transportation ~$216,919, security ~$57,874) and several encumbrances; administration agreed to follow up with line-item clarifications.
During the monthly finance report, the finance director reviewed August numbers and the board focused on encumbrances and the district's overtime exposure. The superintendent presented a breakdown for FY24–25 overtime that included transportation at about $216,919 and security at $57,874; custodial overtime was listed (reported in the presentation) at roughly $47,000.
Board members asked whether encumbrances reflected most of the expected year-end obligations and requested follow-up on several grant and bond line items that appeared negative or encumbered. The finance director said salaries and benefits are currently encumbered and that additional encumbrances are expected for supplies and student travel in the second half of the year; she promised to return with detailed documentation upon request.
