The county attachment describes a proposed adjustment, not completed spending. It identifies an $8,230,583.26 school carryover and lists $321,883 for maintenance and intercom work across four schools, including Gretna High, without assigning Gretna High a separate amount.

Residents can use the official attachment to separate the size of the full amendment from individual project lines. After the hearing, the next source of truth is the Board's recorded action and final amended budget—not an assumption based on the notice alone.

Why it matters

A large budget amendment is easier to evaluate when proposed totals, school carryover and local project references are kept distinct.

  • Proposed total: $292,152,471.26
  • School carryover: $8,230,583.26
  • Public hearing: Sept. 15 at 7 p.m.
