Commission approves $2.15 million in state food-service grants for county schools
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a school-board resolution allocating $2,153,877 in state grants for school food service and construction reallocation; commissioners discussed the accounting and recorded the grant total before a 24-0 vote.
The Robertson County Commission voted 24-0 to approve a school-board resolution allocating $2,153,877 in state grants related to food-service funding and internal construction reallocation. Commissioner Bobby Couch presented the item as a state grant package and noted the total, saying the "buckets bounced — $2,153,877."
Commissioners discussed that some construction funds were being moved from one project (Westside) to the Innovation Academy renovation and that the board considered the transfer acceptable because it reallocated existing construction money rather than creating new spending. The chair recorded the unanimous vote and thanked board members for the transparency on the internal reallocation.
The resolution does not change county general-fund spending but notifies the commission of school-board budget adjustments; staff said the move was informational and required no additional county appropriation at this time.
