As the state continues to work through the state budget problem, educational institutions are looking to alternatives measures to meet cash flow needs.
\nOn Tuesday, the Bellwood-Antis School District Board of Directors unanimously authorized the use of $1.5 million in capital reserve funds to meet the cash flow needs in the general fund until the state subsidies are received.
\nAccording to district superintendent Brian Toth, cash flow in the general fund is sufficient through November. He said this authorization will provide cash flow from December until mid-February.
\nAt that time, without state subsidies, the district will have exhausted all internal cash flow resources.
\nDistrict business manager Ken Swanson said this has not affected the cafeteria as state and federal subsidies were approved in the state budget under a different category.
\nOn Nov. 14, the Tyrone Area School Board of Directors authorized a $2 million loan from the Capital Reserve Fund to the General Fund to meet the bonding payment and the payroll.
