Capital Funds Request (second) for FY26
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. Since Covington Independent Public Schools is a HB678 district, CFR’s do not have to be submitted to KDE or approved by the board. CIPS leadership for transparency purposes still submits the CFR to the board.
Please find attached the Capital Funds Request (CFR). This is the second one for FY26. We have included on the form GOS’s replacement of hot water heaters, HMS water main break and the Howell Street Property Acquisition. The total comes to $247,500. The first two items are general fund expenses that will be moved over to this CFR funding. This will free up the general fund then.
