The board also approved a budget amendment for fiscal year 2025.

“This budget amendment was just a matter of including our federal carryover dollars and making adjustments to our upcoming projects,” Chief School Finance Officer Ressie Gray said.

In other business, the board heard a distribution of financial reports that have been reconciled to most current bank statements from Gray.

The board set the next meeting date for Tuesday, April 1, 5:30 p.m., at the central office.
