Currituck County, N.C. — The Currituck County Board of Education voted June 30 to adopt final amendments to the fiscal year 2025–26 budget after a presentation from Chief Finance Officer Ms. Maisel.
Ms. Maisel told the board the state public school fund rose by $216,850.71 to cover guaranteed allotments such as paid parental leave and instructional support, and federal funds increased by $5,821 for additional Title and McKinney‑Vento allocations. She said a capital outlay line was revised to reflect funding tied to Tolls Creek and five lottery projects — at Mayock Elementary, Currituck Middle, JP Knapp and two projects at Knott’s Island — and that replacement yellow buses required a booked payment. "We had an increase here of $216,850.71," Maisel said, and she described the local‑fund increase of $632,425.32 as driven largely by a Medicaid cost settlement.
After the presentation the board moved to approve the amendments and voted by voice: "Aye." Chairman Parker called the motion approved. The board did not provide a roll‑call tally in the meeting record.
Why it matters: the adjustments add funds to planned school operations and capital projects heading into the new school year; the board was told the county commissioners passed the broader budget the board sought, which officials said puts the district on "pretty stable ground" for planning.
What’s next: Ms. Maisel said the changes close out the year; no additional public hearings on these particular amendments were scheduled at the meeting. The board also approved a consent agenda and set its next work session for Aug. 13 at 4 p.m., with a 6 p.m. regular meeting to follow.
Provenance: The budget presentation and vote are documented in the meeting transcript beginning with Ms. Maisel’s report (topic intro SEG 108) through the approval voice vote (top finish SEG 156).
