V. Budget Hearing
Description:
Each year the Board of Education is required to adopt a budget for the fiscal year and hold a budget hearing by September 30th. Prior to adopting the budget, a legal notice must be placed in a newspaper of local circulation notifying the public of the tentative budget and budget hearing. In addition, the proposed/tentative budget must be placed on public display for a minimum of 30 days. All these requirements have been met.
I have attached the updated state budget form, expenditure and revenue details. Both the expenditure and revenue details include all changes highlighted in yellow with comments since the budget has been on display. You will see that we added/adjusted several budget amounts (highlighted in green) since the tentative budget was shared last month, which includes ESSER III funding allocations. One key item to note in the state form is that the beginning fund balance amounts were incorrect. The fund balances at the end of June 2021 were more in each fund than presented in the tentative budget. The final budget recommended for adoption reflects the following: Fund Estimated Fund Balance June 30, 2022 Education $5,711,594 (without student activity accounts) Operation & Maintenance $573,575 Debt Service $84,750 Transportation $391,559 Retirement/SS $287,219 Capital. Improvement $53,477 Working Cash $408,368 Tort $1,126 Fire Prev. /Safety $29,398 TOTAL $7,541,006 |
