| B.1 - | Budget Transfers, Appropriations and FTE Approvals | | | Board Policy DBJ-Budget Transfers requires the board to approve budget transfers for any fund when: (1) the aggregate amount to be transferred to support any line item, single issue or purpose exceeds $100,000; or (2) the accumulation of budget transfer needs is expected to significantly impact the annual budget; or (3) transfers from one major function category to another major function category exceed $20,000 or (4) strategic plan resource allocations need to be re prioritized. Board approval is also required for general fund contingency transfers over $50,000, or in the event the contingency reserve will be reduced by more than 25% for the fiscal year. Board policy DBJ also states that all capital reserve fund project budget appropriations shall be approved by the board; therefore, any transfer of unspent, or unencumbered monies to other projects, shall be approved by the board. CRS-32-109 (1) (f) (l) states the Board of Education has the specific duty to employ all personnel...and to fix and order paid their compensations. Since the budgetary impact of adding a new position must first be considered prior to the hiring process, Board approval is required when there is a proposed change to the authorized staffing level.
