Once the committed fund-balance constraints are imposed, it requires the constraint to be revised, removed or redirected for other purposes by the Board in the same manner as the Board originally approved the commitment. The board can take action each year to uncommit these funds. FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: This resolution outlines an option to uncommit $615,000 from the Committed fund balance for the purpose of the first year payment of the English Language Arts and Social Studies Middle School textbook adoption.
