The FY2025 report certifies 174,306.17 received since the distribution began in 2022 and 118,799.54 of unspent funds on hand. The difference is 55,506.63. The reserve account 03-296-56-000-006 paid out exactly 55,506.63 through 06/30/2025, 7,160.60 in FY2023, 17,442.64 in FY2024 and 30,903.39 in FY2025. The 118,799.54 is the balance the account printed on 06/11/2025, and nothing posts again until 07/01/2025. The three reports certify 5,764.60, 13,136.19 and 18,562.39 expended, 37,463.18 in all. That leaves 18,043.45 of spending in no report. In FY2023 and FY2024 the amounts left out are the LEAD Day purchasing card food, 1,396.00 and 4,306.45. In FY2025 the amount left out is 12,341.00. Two FY2025 payments appear in no program figure on the report, Starhouse Media 8,500.00, described as 36 month movie access for K5-3 and K5-1, and a 3,842.00 shirt order. They total 12,342.00, 1.00 more than the gap. The receipts figure matches the settlement receipts in the account to the cent. The FY2026 report, published 10/01/2026, lists none of these payments. Its spending figure is 6,118.45 more than the reserve paid in FY2026. That excess equals the 18,043.45 less 11,925.00 the reserve received in FY2026 that the report does not count as settlement money.
