School budget amendments: $3.6M moved for transportation and Chromebooks; one-time staff bonuses approved
Summary
School representative presented two amendments reallocating roughly $3.6 million to transportation equipment, Chromebooks and $500,000 to capital outlay, and a second amendment authorizing one-time staff bonuses ($400 full-time, $200 part-time); both motions passed.
A school representative told the committee the first school budget amendment reallocates about $3,600,000 from restricted fund balance to designated funds for transportation equipment and Chromebooks, with an additional $500,000 for capital outlay. The amendment also shifts spending lines for testing and staff-development reallocations to support ACT prep and software classes. Committee members moved and seconded the amendment and approved it by voice vote.
A second amendment would use prior-year funds to pay a one-time bonus of $400 for full-time school employees and $200 for part-time employees, using the same eligibility qualifications applied previously. That amendment was also moved, seconded and approved.
