Committee delegates limited transfer authority to superintendent

York School Committee · August 6, 2026

Summary

The committee approved delegating to the superintendent (or designee) the authority to transfer up to 5% of a cost center's appropriation to another cost center to manage budget shortfalls and staffing needs, a step the superintendent said will help fund the auditorium manager role.

The York School Committee voted to delegate to the superintendent, or the superintendent’s designee, authority to transfer an amount not exceeding 5% of a cost center’s total appropriation to another cost center as necessary.

The superintendent explained that this flexibility will help the district manage end-of-cycle budgeting and specifically cited the need to fund the auditorium manager role as an example. A board member moved the delegation; the motion was seconded and the Chair announced the motion passed (vote announced on the record).
