Union County Board of Education Finance Committee Meeting (Oct 6, 2026)

The Union County Board of Education Finance Committee met on October 6, 2026, and reviewed the 2026–27 budget resolution. Staff presented initial allocations across state, local, federal, capital, enterprise, and special revenue funds, noting that totals may change through later amendments and transfers. The presentation cited a local budget of $147,523,705, including $1.7 million from fund balance to help balance the budget, and $80,819,774 in capital funds, including bond proceeds, county and state appropriations, and bus-related funding. In response to a question about $7.6 million in special-revenue fund balance, staff explained that much of it is restricted grant funding. No vote on the budget resolution is evident in the transcript.

The committee also reviewed multi-year postage-machine leases for Ridge High School. Staff confirmed the annual costs were within the school’s budget, and a motion to send the leases to the full board for approval was seconded and passed. The committee also approved the agenda and the September 22 minutes.
