JULY 2024 REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING

The Canton R-V Board of Education met on July 8, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. in the Canton R-V Library Media Center Conference Room for the regular monthly business meeting.

 

The meeting was called to order and the Board recited the Pledge of Allegiance and approved the agenda. The following items were discussed in the consent agenda: meeting minutes, transfers, amendments, building principal reports, attendance, lunch, and safety reports. Following the consent agenda, the Board authorized the payment of the monthly bills.

 

Superintendent Uhlmeyer presented the monthly financial report to the Board of Education. The balance in Funds 10-60 as of 6/30/2024 was $8,604,993.49. This was a $765,351.60 increase from the previous fiscal year.  The unrestricted balance in Fund 10 – Incidental on 6/30/2024 was $2,368,503.17, which was an increase of $588,993.59 from the previous fiscal year.

 

The unrestricted fund balance percentage for Fiscal Year 2024 is calculated as follows:

 

         Unrestricted Fund Balance Percentage =                     Unrestricted Fund 10 Balance                                       

                              (Total Expenditures Fund 10 + Total Expenditures Fund 20)

 

         Unrestricted Fund Balance Percentage = $2,368,503.17 / $7,382,141.43 = 32.08%

 

During the presentation of the unrestricted fund balance percentage, Mr. Uhlmeyer discussed with the Board of Directors that this percentage has been inflated over the past two years due to the District drawing down the remaining COVID-19 relief funds from the federal government.

 

Following the financial report, the Board of Education dedicated time to hear from citizens who would like to address the Board of Education and have followed the proper progression through the chain of command. There was no citizen communication during this time.
