GILES
COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
Topic: Financial Data Item: III-B
Prepared
by: David Thompson/Barbara
Perkins Date:
11/17/20
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 2020 Summary of Revenues and the October 2020 Summary of
Expenditures. Please approve the
appropriation request for December 2020 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 2020 also needs to be approved.
