Board Approves Budget Changes, Increases Sub Salaries
The Gothenburg Board of Education met on Monday, July 15, with the agenda including two budget items. The business portion of the meeting opened with a public hearing to amend the 2023-2024 budget as a result of changing NDE policy. “In March, I received a notice from the Nebraska Department of Education indicating they were returning to pre-COVID norms with regard to the allowable cash reserve that can be held in the Nutrition Services account. Specifically, net cash resources must be limited to three months average expenditures from the nonprofit school food service account,” Superintendent Dr. Allison Jonas explained to the board. “Originally, I had budgeted for the anticipated expenditures of our Food Service contract and had not budgeted to spend dollars in excess of that. However, to ensure we remain in compliance with the newly re-adopted guidelines, we must spend some of the reserve dollars on allowable expenditures. The proposed amendment will allow us to exceed the original amount and remain in compliance with our Net Cash Resources plan submitted to NDE in April.”
