Capital Funds Request FY24
Ms. Annette Burtschy, Director of Finance
The General Assembly continues to allow flexibility in the use of school district capital funds without forfeiting the district’s eligibility to participate in the School Facilities Construction Commission (SFCC) program. To exercise that flexibility, a district must submit a Capital Funds Request (CFR) electronically through e-mail to Jana Cox, at the Kentucky Department of Education, Division of District Support, in order for proper processing to occur. Since Covington Independent Public Schools is a HB678 district, CFR’s do not have to be submitted to KDE but still need to be board approved.
Please find attached the Capital Funds Request (CFR). The district is including property insurance for the district at $227,636 and two buses for the district at $288,424. The total of these expenses is $516,060. These general fund expenses will be moved over to this CFR funding. This will free up the general fund by $516,060. This CFR was part of option 2 that was presented by Compass during tax season and approved by the board.
