DETAILS FROM PAGE A1 unanimous vote to close two schools. McGhaney is also a member of the board’s finance committee, but was unable to at- tend Friday’s monthly commit- tee meeting. During the finance committee meeting the school board’s financal consultant Scott Allan presented his 2017-18 draft budget proposal, which includes closing F.J. DeLaine Elementary School and Mayewood Middle School this summer as cost-sav- ing measures to help increase the district’s general fund bal- ance by $4.1 million. The finance committee, with three local pri- vate business owners and two board members present, voted unanimously to accept Allan’s proposal and present it as a rec- ommendation to the full board. On Friday evening, Mc- Ghaney said he assumed Allan would present a budget propos- al to close schools and that the majority of the finance com- mittee would support that and approve the recommendation. McGhaney said last week that he and the majority of the board wanted to consider other alternatives for cutting costs from next year’s budget and only consider closing schools as a “last resort” to the dis- trict’s current financial crisis. Allan said in Friday’s finance committee meeting there were no other reasonable alterna- tives the district could take in order to build its fund balance Celebrating our volunteers to appropriate levels. “I can imagine that Scott Allan did give a financial up- date on closing schools as far as a recommendation,” Mc- We sincerely thank our volunteers in Columbia and Sumter for Ghaney said. “However, I can- not tell you how the board will their generous gifts of time, talent and resources. vote on the recommendation.” McGhaney said he wants to • 860 volunteers strong* hear Allan’s same briefing to the full board on Monday • 113,000 hours donated* night.
