Board Approves Transfers After Expected Grant Falls Far Short

Summers County Board of Education · August 23, 2026

Summary

District staff told the Summers County Board that a grant expected at about $100,000 instead arrived at roughly $9,000, forcing budget reductions and approval of transfers and supplements; the board approved the adjustments 5-0.

District staff told board members that several grant awards arrived that were not in the original budget and that adjustments were required to balance accounts. "We thought that the grant was gonna be approximately a $100,000 and it ended up being, like, $9,000," a staff member said during discussion, which led to a negative supplement and reduction of the original budget line.

Board members asked clarifying questions about the timing and whether the district or county had applied for specific grants (including an SRO-related item on the county agenda). The board then voted 5-0 to approve the transfers and supplements as presented. The superintendent's office will include the finalized budget supplements in the district's published financial documents.
