District to receive final transportation payment for the fiscal year
by Ariana R Cherry
“We are going to receive a final transportation payment this fiscal year - it is in the queue,” stated Superintendent Shannon Cheek at the most recent meeting of the ALAH School Board held on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
“There are many years where we get three payments. We don’t get the full amount every year. It still has been an ongoing issue,” informed Cheek as he spoke about the deficit that the transportation fund has had frequently due to not receiving payments from the state. “We budget conservatively and always budget for three payments,” he explained.
