Carbondale ESD 95 board adopts FY25 amended budget, cites $1.1M solar payments
Summary
The Carbondale Elementary School District No. 95 board adopted its FY25 amended budget June 26; the CSBO said Fund 30 required a $1.1 million adjustment related to solar project payments but the district still projects a fiscal-year surplus.
The Carbondale Elementary School District No. 95 Board of Education voted June 26 to adopt its FY25 amended budget after a public hearing and staff presentation.
Janiece Blake, the district’s Chief School Business Official, reviewed the amended budget and said "the amended budget has not changed since it was posted." Blake told the board Fund 30 required an adjustment to recognize about $1.1 million in payments tied to the district's solar project; she said the TRS "on behalf" pension accounting entries had a zero net effect on the education fund balance. Blake summarized a deficit budget worksheet but said, based on the operating funds reported, "the district is projected to book a surplus this fiscal year."
Board member Dr. Renada Greer moved to approve the amended budget; John Major seconded. The motion carried by voice vote with unanimous support from the seven-member board. The public hearing on the amended budget had been opened at 7:21 PM and closed at 7:26 PM before the adoption vote.
The action authorizes the accounting adjustments described by staff and moves the district into the next fiscal year with the updated Fund 30 entries reflected in board financial reports. The board did not change tax rates or raise new revenue as part of this vote; the amendment reflects timing and payment recognition adjustments tied to pension and solar-project transactions.
