NEEDHAM SCHOOL COMMITTEE Agenda Item #: ________________ Date: January 28, 2020 Item Title: FY 2019/20 Budget Transfers - Holdback Item Description: Transfer of FY20 budget allocations between line items in the following amounts: Salaries $260,137.00 Purchase of Service/Expense ($260,137.00) Capital $0.00 Net Change: $0.00 Issues: Under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 71, Section 34, and School Committee Policy #DBJ, the School Committee is empowered to make changes in allocations between line items within its budget, once approved by Town Meeting. In no case may a transfer result in the aggregate Operating Budget being more than authorized by the Town. Transfers between separate, non-operating appropriations are prohibited except as permitted by law. Recommendation/Options: Approve the attached line item budget transfers. Rationale: The attached line item budget transfers are requested to implement a holdback of budget funds in FY20, to provide supplement funds with which to address anticipated shortfalls within the school operating budget. Implementation Implications: Supporting Data: Attached listing of requested line-item budget transfers within the FY20 Operating Budget.
