COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
Topic: Financial Data Item: III-B
Prepared by: Rhonda Tickle/Barbara Perkins Date: 11/9/17
Recommendation:
That the School Board authorize payment of certain
bills/payrolls prior to official board action, and approve the payment of
regular bills. That the Board approve
the October 2017 Summary of Revenues and the October 2017 Summary of
Expenditures. Please approve the
appropriation request for December 2017 as well.
Background and Rationale:
We have prepared the check authorization in advance of the School Board
meeting, to allow more time for individuals to peruse the bills. Checks are prepared for bills budgeted and
received. Most payments cannot be made
or released until authorized by the School Board action. This authorization will allow us to make
early payments and avoid late charges.
This includes the projected payroll for the 15th of the month. The appropriation request for December 2017
also needs to be approved.
