The Robertson County Schools Board of Education approved a balanced budget amendment to move $300,000 from the district’s fund balance into capital outlay and heard an expense summary showing year-to-date revenues and expenditures.

The amendment — described in meeting materials as a one-time move recommended in consultation with County Finance — was presented as part of the 2024–25 general purpose school funds budget adjustments. Board member Scott Rice moved approval; a second was recorded and the motion carried unanimously, 5–0.

Board members were told the district’s revenues as of Feb. 28 were $98,600,000, described in the packet as roughly 70% of budget, and expenditures were $86,900,000 (about 60% of budget), leaving an excess of approximately $11,600,000. Presenters reported property tax collections at 96% (about $18,200,000) and noted sales-tax receipts at $12,200,000, about $500,000 below the prior year. The report also listed several large tracked expenditures: electricity ($1,600,000), diesel fuel (reported as 48% of that budget line), gasoline ($89,000), salaries ($39,800,000) and insurance ($12,800,000).

Board members were told the $300,000 transfer will be used to finalize expenses on ongoing projects, including contractor‑driven changes. The packet said the transfer restores funding to capital outlay from fund balance and that any unspent portion would return to fund balance.

No external approvals were described as required for the transfer; presenters said the change followed County Finance guidance. The board voted to forward the amendment for County Commission consideration as part of the regular budget processes.
