GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION FOR CONTINGENCIES RESERVE

 

It shall be the policy of the Board of Education to establish and maintain a General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies Reserve. The purpose of the Contingencies Reserve shall be to provide a prudent reserve for unforeseen financial requirements such as, but not limited to, deficits in state or federal funding, necessary unbudgeted expenditures, or unanticipated rate increases for fixed costs. The board shall establish a goal of maintaining the appropriation for contingencies reserve at three percent (3%) of the General Fund but shall, in times of financial necessity, budget a minimum of one and a half percent (1-1/2%) of the General Fund budget for the contingencies reserve.
