sented the cafeteria financial report for the year that showed a starting balance of a negative $8,837.84 and an ending balance of a negative $12,765.29, indicating a revenue shortfall for the year of nearly $4,000 on receipts of $393,312.

Despite the shortfall, the Board took no action on member Rose Ann Sharp’s suggestion that meal prices be increased by five or ten cents to cover future shortfalls.

Finance Director Bonnie Hahn provided the Board with end-of year financial reports and information, and they moved affirmatively on end-of-year purchases and on account balancing to close the books for the fiscal year.

The end-of-year purchases approved amounted to $199,717, which included some $60,000 of “regular” bills, and the remainder of which was allocated for some of the purchases requested by school staff members. The largest single purchase was for a transit-type, large capacity bus to be used on the Chester Gap route.

The Board also discussed the disposition of $41,803 in appropriate but unexpended funds that must to be returned to the County at the end of the fiscal year. They agreed to request that these funds be returned to the School Board for maintenance costs, including maintenance employee salary and benefits and maintenance supplies and equipment.
