Liberty County School Board Discusses Impacts of Federal Forest Funding Bill and School Infrastructure
- Meeting Overview:
In the recent Liberty County School Board meeting, members focused on the potential impacts of a federal forest funding bill and addressed school infrastructure concerns. Congressman Dunn’s office communicated updates on Senate Bill 356, the Forest Bill, which recently passed the Senate and is now in the House. The bill, which includes House Bill 1333, has broad support but awaits scheduling for a House vote. The board emphasized the need for this funding, which some rural schools heavily rely on for operating costs. The Forest Bill’s passage could alleviate financial strain on schools located in federally owned forest areas.
Board members also deliberated on local infrastructure improvements. Concerns were raised about the safety of football bleachers, prompting prompt repairs after the issue was highlighted in a previous meeting. Further inspections and adjustments are planned to ensure safety and visibility at sports events. Additionally, discussions included the relocation of a van and adjustments to bleachers at the girls’ field, slated for completion within the week.
The board approved several motions related to budget amendments and educational programs without opposition. A detailed explanation of budget amendments was provided, clarifying that reallocations were necessary to align expenditures for the fiscal year.
