SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Change of Bank for Petty Check/Change Funds for Lopez Elementary School (Business Division)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Petty Check/Change Funds are established or altered with School Board approval in compliance with State Board of Education rules Chapter 6a-1.057. These are impressed funds transferred from district budget to the schools so that each school can make emergency purchases and have change to operate lunchrooms and athletic events. When funds are expended for purchases, the school submits receipts to Accounts Payable. The school is then reimbursed, and the school's budget is reduced by the amount of the purchase.

Lopez Elementary School requests School Board permission to close bank account number XXXXXXXXX5003 at Sun Trust Bank and to open a new bank account at Wachovia Bank.

Signers will be:

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

Goal 6: No school should receive a grade lower than C.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

Costs incurred for printing new checks and deposit slips will be offset by interest earned on daily balances.
