Mission CISD board approves $21.78 million budget amendment for prior‑year carryovers
Summary
Administration requested and the board approved a $21,782,232 amendment to the General Fund to cover prior-year purchase-order carryovers, including roughly $17 million in construction carryovers; trustees asked for clarifications on individual items such as uniforms.
The Board approved a budget amendment adding $21,782,232 in expenditures to the General Fund to cover purchase orders and construction projects that were in process at the end of the prior fiscal year. Administration explained these are carryovers that were committed in fund balance and must be reauthorized into the current fiscal-year budget for payment.
Joel Garcia described the accounting practice: projects the board previously approved are held as a committed fund balance and moved back into the budget when expenditures continue in the new year. He noted roughly $17 million of the amendment relates to construction projects. Trustees asked for details on specific line items—such as uniform purchases and their rotation—and staff agreed to provide campus-level clarifications and pursue policy guidance if the board wants scheduled replacement practices.
Trustee Veronica "Betty" R. Mendoza moved to approve the amendment; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously, 6-0.
