Board adopts school budget as presented; staff awaiting final state calculation tool
Summary
Charlotte County supervisors approved the school budget as presented May 14, noting staff is still awaiting Department of Education calculation tools and that the county built in a roughly $400,000 cushion to absorb possible changes.
The Charlotte County Board of Supervisors voted May 14 to approve the school budget as presented on page 29 of the packet.
Staff told the board they had confirmation from the governor’s office but that the Department of Education’s online calculation tool was not available for final verification; staff said the packet used the most recent available numbers and that the county’s bottom line included a contingency. "We do have, PR in the black at the end, between them about $400,000," said staff (speaker 2), noting the county would be able to absorb modest adjustments.
Supervisor Davis (speaker 3) moved to approve the budget; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The board discussed that the final state numbers could slightly change funding but that the budget includes reserves to handle small fluctuations.
