Board approves final budget amendment; staff flags $350,000 electricity increase and bonus timing uncertainty
Summary
The board approved the district's final budget amendment, which reallocates grant funds and adds a $350,000 increase for electricity costs; staff reported an expected $1.1M state bonus payment due by June 30 but not yet received, and discussed retiree eligibility questions.
Mr. Sebastian reviewed the district’s final budget amendment, outlining reallocations for the summer learning camp grant, estimated TISA on‑behalf entries for ACT testing, cleanup journal entries, and a $350,000 increase to the electricity line to cover higher energy costs this year. He said the amendment is a reallocation rather than new money in most sections.
Board members asked about the $1.1 million bonus from the state; Mr. Sebastian said the payment had not been received and was expected by June 30, and staff will target July or August payroll dates for distribution if it arrives late. The board also discussed eligibility logistics for retirees and short‑term returning employees; staff agreed to follow up with details.
