Board approves $100,000 nutrition fund reclassification to align with state guidance

The Murfreesboro City School Board approved a nutrition fund budget amendment that transfers $100,000 from the indirect cost expenditure line to the operating transfer line, a change staff described as an accounting reclassification to align with recent Tennessee Department of Education guidance. Director Dr. Duke said, "There's no new revenues or programs. This is strictly a reclassification of existing funds based on the guidance we receive by the state," and recommended approval.

Board members approved the amendment by voice vote with no recorded opposition. Duke said the change reflects state guidance on indirect costs and that the district is updating accounting categories, not altering nutrition program services to students.
