Leander ISD proposes FY26 budget amendment that increases Child Nutrition spending by $1.9M
Summary
Administration proposed Budget Amendment #12 to transfer funds and increase Child Nutrition Fund expenditures by $1,908,357 for serving-line purchases, part of a planned CNS fund balance spend-down that would raise the estimated CNS deficit to $4,821,154.
Chief Financial Officer Pete Pape presented FY26 Budget Amendment #12, which includes transfers among functions and a targeted Child Nutrition Fund amendment to increase expenditure budgets by $1,908,357 for the purchase of serving lines at elementary and middle schools. The packet explains the district’s Child Nutrition Fund had accumulated a fund balance above the three-month reserve threshold and administrators are implementing a spend-down plan; this amendment is part of that plan.
Budget tables in the packet show detailed proposed and amended totals by function and fund. For the Child Nutrition Fund, the amendment increases food-service expenditures from $19,103,855 to $21,815,179, yielding a projected fund deficit of $4,821,154 after the amendment. The board was asked to approve the amendment as presented; the packet contains a sample motion to that effect.
