Financial Impact
Financial Impact: The cost of the health insurance contribution has already been recognized and approved at a previous board meeting. The approximate cost of the bonuses is $0 for general fund and $1,400,000 ESSER III funds. If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
