Board approves consent agenda and March disbursements totaling $9.77 million; directs follow‑up on reimbursements

At the May 12 meeting, the Ferguson‑Florissant Board of Education approved the consent agenda and accepted the district’s March disbursements report after a brief question‑and‑answer period.

The disbursement presenter, Mr. Chans, reported March payroll of $7,884,168 and operational disbursements of $1,889,319 for total monthly expenses of $9,773,487. Year‑to‑date revenue was reported as $119,221,409 and year‑to‑date expenses as $103,214,451, leaving $54,129,244 of available budget (about 65.6% used to date). The presenter attributed a capital‑fund revenue variance and a year‑end invoice crossover—expenses billed in June 2025 that were paid in July 2025—for some overage figures.

Board members asked whether the crossover issue could recur; administration said it is working with invoicing partners to avoid another crossover. On the McKinney‑Vento reimbursements, administration said support services has pursued delinquent payments, reached out to DESE and other districts, and is engaged with legal counsel to resolve outstanding reimbursements.

A motion to approve the disbursement report was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote. The consent agenda was approved earlier in the meeting without objection.
