Budget Transfers over $50,000 – Background Information

Budget transfers 304 through 307 were processed to update the current year costs of In-Kind Services and facility rent for the charter schools. These budget transfers are based on each charter school’s Adjusted Average Daily Membership (AADM), compared to the district total AADM.

Budget transfer 392 was processed to align salaries and benefits to actuals for Kaleidoscope.

Detail for this transfer is attached.

A budget is a financial plan created to allocate funds for estimated costs of programs and needs in accordance with the District's plans and goals. It is usually necessary to make changes to the original plan through the use of budget transfers, which follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as more information about actual costs becomes available and decisions about programs and circumstances are revised. Prior to approval, all budget transfer requests are reviewed in light of current policies and procedures and evaluated for appropriateness and necessity in conjunction with the District's internal controls.

This budget transfer exceeds $50,000; therefore, requires Board of Education approval per Board Policy 3120.
