SchoolContinued from page 1A and a door-locking system. The security systems at junior high and high school are nearing completion, Graham said. The district ended its fi s- cal year June 30 with a bal- ance of about $4.4 million, according to Graham. “We spent about 77.7 per- cent of what we budgeted. That left us a cushion of about 23 percent. We have a very healthy balance,” Graham said. Under state law, school districts may only carry 20 percent of their revenue into their balances. For Nashville, that will mean a balance of about $2.1 to $2.2 million. In the recently completed fiscal year, the district transferred $1.6 million into a building fund for the agri building and bus barn. Part of the current bal- ance will have to be trans- ferred or spent, Graham News-Leader photos/JOHN R. SCHIRMER said. “If we carry over too NHS AGRI BUILDING.
