9.3. Consider and approve moving $250,000 from the General Checking account and depositing at South Central State Bank in certificates of deposits.
Rationale:
South Central State Bank has a CD special which would allow General Fund money to accumulate a higher interest rate. This is a 24 month non renewable CD earning 2.18, regular CD earns 1.40. We can divide this into (2 - $125,00.00 , 3- $83,333.33 , or 4 - $62,500.00 etc.) There is no penalty for cashing out early.

Rationale:
We budgeted $35,000 of transfers to subsidize the lunch fund during the 2017-18 school year. The budget transfer is necessary to meet financial obligations in the lunch fund.
