Board hears explanation of $10,000 athletic uniform budget transfer
Summary
District staff said the transfers include a middle-school code move and a transfer to buy football uniforms and pants — staff estimated roughly $10,000 per year. Board members pressed why the purchase was being booked in August for fall sports.
At the start of financial reports, Miss Jackman told the board there were "only a couple of budgetary transparencies" and explained two transfers: one moving funds from a middle-school code and another to cover uniforms for athletics.
Chair questioned the timing and size of the uniform transfer, saying: "I'd like an answer as to why we're making a $10,000 purchase in August for this fall." Board members discussed how football uniform ordering differs from other sports because of positional numbering and multi-year manufacturer commitments; Miss Jackman estimated the line at about $10,000 per year and said the transfer reflected that need.
Board members also noted they had asked about price when the transfer was submitted and discussed whether the purchase could be phased or specified more clearly in the transfer paperwork. No formal motion to reverse or change the transfer was recorded during the meeting.
