Board approves FY26 amendment with $3.9 million for transportation

What happened

The board approved a FY2026 budget amendment adding $3.92 million for maintenance equipment, vehicles, bus purchases, lease payoffs, fleet updates and other transportation expenses. It also authorized a potential transfer of up to $13.61 million from the General Fund to the Depreciation Fund; the resolution does not say that the full transfer will occur.

Why it matters to families

The amendment changes districtwide spending authority for transportation and other capital needs. It also includes $1.5 million for major maintenance, $268,200 for Cottonwood HVAC, and up to $1.2 million for Campbell County High School enhancements.
