Superintendent Schiltz reported on the unencumbered cash balances as of June 27, 2018, in the various funds and discussed the proposed transfers of funds. He also indicated that, just as last year, Kansas schools will not receive the final payment of state aid for the month of June until sometime in early July, but the law requires that this July payment be recorded as a June 30th receipt; so this final state aid payment, a total of $142,689.00 plus a supplemental general state aid payment of $10,639.00 for St. Francis USD 297, already shows in the reports being reviewed at this meeting. Following further review of the year’s financial situation and the effects on various funds, Superintendent Schiltz recommended that $357,327.42 be transferred from the General Fund to various funds as follows: $40,000.00 to Special Education; $200,000.00 to Contingency Reserve; $971.86 to Professional Development; $102,855.56 to At-Risk (K-12); and $13,500.00 to Bilingual Education. Superintendent Schiltz also recommended $129,121.01 be transferred from the Supplemental General Fund (L.O.B.) to various funds as follows: $19,000.00 to Special Education; $22,545.56 to Vocational Education; $87,236.06 to Food Service; and $339.39 to Professional Development. An additional recommendation was made to transfer $200,000.00 from Contingency Reserve to the Supplemental General Fund. Following review, Chris Hingst moved to approve all of the transfers as listed above and to grant authority to the administration and school auditors to make necessary adjustments to these transfer-amounts, with such adjustments being contained as part of the official minutes of this June 28, 2018, meeting and of the Audit Report. The motion was seconded by Chris Bracelin and carried.
The next School Board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 12, 2018, at 7:00 A.M.
At 7:40 A.M., Danielle McAtee moved that the meeting adjourn; the motion was seconded by Dustin Andrist and carried.
