Action
Recommended Action
That the Caroline County Board of Education approve the attached list of budget adjustments for FY 2021.

The budgeted amount for the County Appropriation must be increased and unrestricted state revenue must be decreased to reflect actual.  Revenue from other sources was less than what was budgeted due to a decrease in interest rates as well as lower than anticipated miscellaneous revenue.  Restricted revenue must be increased to balance with the expenditures for restricted programs.  

 

Total expenditures in the areas of other instructional costs, special education, pupil personnel services, health services, operation of plant, maintenance of plant and fixed charges exceeded their budgeted amounts.  The reasons for these over expenditures are as follows:

The areas of administration, school management & support, instructional salaries, instructional supplies, pupil transportation and capital outlay will be decreased to offset the over expenditures in the above categories.

 

The County Commissioners must also approve these adjustments.
