001Yes, sir. I see somewhere. I don't know. >> Yeah, it's recording. And these are your mics. >> Okay. >> Welcome to the special call budget meeting for May 26, 2026 for the Rutherford County School System. We'll be opening the meeting with a brief moment of silence or prayer in the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag. No one is required to participate or be present for any of these and being in this portion of the meeting is completely voluntary. Will you please bow your head for a brief play prayer? Dear Lord, thank you. Guide our hearts and our minds that we make good decisions for those that have put their our trust in us. Thank you for loving us so that you sent your son to die on the cross. In his name that
002we pray. Amen. Amen. Please stand for the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Yes, take it away. >> All right. Thank you all for having this quick meeting and just so the public that is watching uh this isn't something that we had to do but I felt like it was in our best interest. We last week we received notice that the infrastructure grant that was part of the ESA's last year that the general assembly passed um was called the infrastructure grant was $25 per kid. We were instructed that was going to be part of the next year's fiscal year 27 budget. Um, we received an email last week
003that it's actually part of fiscal year 26 budget with a middle of June deadline. And so we needed to revise our revenue. Technically, we probably could have just revised this. Um, it is already revised for the county commission to consider, but for us to be specific on what our board is considering, I felt like it was wise for our board to go ahead and pass it before health and education considers it along with budget. So there's just a couple revisions. Health and education has been published since last week. The main revisions are a decrease in general purpose school funds and revenues and expenditures. Uh they were reduced to be able to offset that grant. And then we also reduced um a couple other line items to offset that. Again, we removed on page four, we
004removed 46,990 because that was another state revenue grant. So that has been completely removed and then to offset some of that funding we increased 46510 322,000 but overall we had a decrease in our revenues and in expenditures uh to take care of that grant. So I would appreciate if we could just uh approve that and then that would be our only item to it. >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Second. >> Thank you Mr. Thank you M Sharp. All in favor say I. I any opposed? Motion passes. No f other business. >> Thank you all.
