Middletown School Committee Capital Reserve Account
Capital Reserve Account
From time to time, it will be necessary to perform capital projects on the school district’s facilities. Such projects may be for either repairs or improvements or both. Capital projects are typically one-time, non-recurring expenditures and are too large to be accommodated within the district’s operations budget. Such projects may be funded either through bond indebtedness, one-time appropriations, or through a capital reserve account. In a capital reserve account, funds are set aside over a period of time to fund capital projects. A capital reserve account is for specific projects as approved through budget adoption.
Capital reserve accounts may be set up only as authorized by the School Committee and adopted by the Town Council.
