Finance staff presented March 2026 cash disbursements and a payroll summary at the April 23 finance committee meeting, and the committee moved to recommend the package of items discussed for the board consent agenda.
Mr. David Beh Hill, executive director of budget and strategic planning, said the district's payroll runs approximately $60–62 million each month and that March non‑salary disbursements totaled $36,884,800. He explained the packet contains a page with category breakdowns and extensive backup pages with invoice detail available on request.
Committee members asked about a January outlier in contract services (about $9.6 million) and requested staff provide invoice and work‑order detail through an RFI so members can track maintenance and HVAC spending. Mr. Beh Hill said staff can supply more detailed information if the board office submits specific questions.
Board Member Rebecca Bettson moved and Board Member Courtney Jackson seconded a motion to recommend that the board approve the items discussed during the finance committee meeting (including grant adjustments, transfers, equipment and portable disposals, the Elorado design procurement, out‑of‑school vendor awards, and March cash disbursements). Roll‑call votes recorded unanimous 'yes' and the motion carried.
The committee announced its next finance meeting for May 28, 2026 and adjourned.
