So then um our previous town manager in mentioned that he was going to bring back the annual report >> the required by state law >> the bring back the required report and we had it for one year but it did not have the salaries in it because I don't know what is up with this town but trying to get the salaries is it's it can be very difficult and I know in other towns If they're not in the annual report, they're in the um warrant. They're somewhere. They make it easy for you. So, I if we had one, I think it would be strange that two people who are actually alert couldn't find it. So, anyways, I'm I'm for anyone that watches this, and I hopefully some of our leaders watch this or listen to this podcast, uh, they can maybe look into it. Um, it had like even down to what they spent on a project.
So, I was very proud of our Cheshire kids and then they walked over the Capitol and um and then they did some visiting and politicking over there too from what I hear. So, thank you. Thank you for setting that up and thank you to the teachers um who took our our students there that um day. >> Thank you. Any other board members? >> Thank you both. Um what is there a ticket price did you say Whitney for? >> Um I think it's like $7 maybe. >> $7. Okay, great. I think we get a discount if we're a senior citizen. Is that what you're saying, Miss? Okay. >> I thought the discount was for board of ed members. >> It's debatable. Thank you both. >> Thank you. >> I fit both categories. >> All right. Connor, it looks like your uh co-anchor is is coming. >> Thank you.
Um, I have to correct that 2425 again. That's 25 26. Um, I would say that it should just say like plan year zero is really prior approved projects. So if you look for example fire alarm control system, there was money that was already approved for that $43,000, but we do need um more money in year one. And I will say that this doesn't plan year one doesn't always represent the entire scope of the project. I think in the case of the Dittle fire alarm control system, that $30,000 um is needed for design money in conjunction with the 43,000. Um but if you're looking to see like what is the the five-year outlay, you could just use that internal project ID to find it lined up on the other um the more comprehensive document. Uh I think things of note on this first year plan, if it's in yellow, it's a new request.
Downstairs same thing. There's there's rooms down there. Um these will probably be much less used for classrooms certainly at the outset uh more for like testing rooms, resource rooms, things like that. But we'll be blowing out some of those walls and just making larger spaces. Uh so that there's there's uh real learning areas in there, places for computers, uh test taking rooms, all all the different things that you would need in the Wii Race Adult Ed program. All right. So when the construction is done, it's going to look like that. So all those red uh red lines are now the perimeters of the new rooms. So there'll be four big rooms upstairs plus the boardroom. Um the left side is essentially going to stay the same. That's where the different offices will be the copier room. Um some of the counselors, the secretary, uh Rick Ray, all those they'll just use the existing office setup as is.
>> Thank you. Good job, bud. Great job. M2's teacher wrote, "I believe M2 deserves to be student of the month for demonstrating personal growth each day at school. M2 comes to school every day wanting to learn and happy to be with his teachers and friends." >> All right. And our eighth grade student of the month, Somaya Na'vi. There you go. Congratulations. Can you stay up here while I read about you? The eighth grade team is proud to recommend Sumaya Na'vi for student of the month. Sumaya is a student who shows up every day, ready to make the best of what comes in front of her. She is very respectful and kind to everyone. Sumaya brings the seven habits to life each day, both in school, at home, and in the community. She's an active member of the DVE family, participating in NJHS and SGA, and actively works to make both the school and her world a better place.
Two years ago, semi and Medicaid revenue, we received over $250,000. Last year, without notice, the state said, "Hey, we're changing the calculation. We want more. We're going to give you less." And your number was reduced by about onetenth of what we used to receive. This number here, this Medicaid semi-revenue number, is a number provided to us by the state. It's not a number that we can control. And then we also are required by law to b uh budget some interest on our capital and our maintenance reserve accounts. So when you subtotal all that revenue that's $11,251,12 that's our current expenses. Additional to that we are going to withdraw over a million towards capital reserve. However, that is not a tax impact and it does not impact our current expenses. A withdrawal of capital reserve is used for capital infrastructure improvements and it is a one for one uh what we withdraw from our uh reserve also goes into our expenditures.
Well, good evening everyone. Last month, Samberg and Andrew recognized their ILMEA allstate students. Due to a conflict with our winter show, which affected nearly all of our honores, we have brought them here to the board this evening for recognition. But yet again, there was a conflict because we also have contest play and a number of them are also involved in outside musical groups. Carolina will be representing all of them. No pressure. >> So, Stag's fine arts program is very busy. Um, and this evening, >> turn to your right. >> Alexi. Hey. >> Now you only have half the pressure. So stag fine arts program has very busy and this evening was no different. Um stag drama students are doing the contest play the insanity of Mary Gerard. Saw it very good very dark. Um but um uh so we have two of our nine ILMEA allstate students with us this evening.
>> Any questions regarding the retirements or resignations? >> No. >> I'll make a motion to accept the the resignations for all three. Uh, entertain a second. >> I'll second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. Next is the employment recommendations for summer help transportation department. >> So then this is always an exciting one for us um when we get to bring new staff members into our family. This one's a little bit of a reassignment for us. And so the first one that we have on here is the summer help for the transportation department. In the past, we have always had Ashley Salman and Teresa Luger, who are currently a part of our transportation department, come in and help in the summer. So, we are recommending them to be additional summer help this summer, as well as Abby Binge, Ava Graber, and Katrina Whitmer. They come in and they take about nine days and they get all of our buses clean top to bottom.
And they dying the first totally in it. And next, I have the honor and privilege of recognizing our senior student council leaders and their sponsors. So, if you would like to step up, uh we have two amazing sponsors who lead our student council, Mrs. Jess Goodman and Miss Alice Thompson. And again, we're going to highlight our some of our seniors, not all of our seniors. We have several of them. So, what we'll do tonight is just highlight a few of the ways that they have supported Center Grove High School and the contributions that they've made to our community. One of the greatest things I think they came up with was last two years ago, which was our fall festival. It was a transition and an addition onto our homecoming week. And so, they invite clubs from our entire school and the community to join together on a Saturday.
So, workers comp. So, we'll still work on that. We're just waiting to get those final answers, but they will be covered from liability. >> Which protects as well and my question was the insurance, >> right? >> Well, and especially the workman's comp because I know we had a >> y >> officer who got nudged by a car a few years ago >> and we'll have that answer. We just it's very unique and so they had to run that up a few more levels to get that answer figured out. >> But it's good, >> right? >> Well, I guess what if they say no? >> We just like to use our carrier exploring other options. >> When we get it figured out, just let us know. Well, and I think that's why, you know, the sheriff's department and Greenwood Police Department quit loaning us officers moonlighting because they wouldn't sign off on their work workman's comp.
And I mean, >> oh, I love the part about this would be super helpful about the bonds. It's every bond, when it was started, when it's finishing, and how much is currently owed, and the interest rate. It was really, really simple, >> easy to understand. >> Yes, Medway had the bonds, the long-term debt, all the projects and what it was, and the interest cost. And it just reminds me just how much we're actually in the dark here. I mean, we have these aggregate totals at town meeting and no one knows what what what even makes it up. There's a few random categories and I don't know. I really think we need to >> Well, there is that saying, right? Information is power. >> Oh my god, I'm going to write that down. >> So, we do need the information. We want it. People want it.
>> So, Maddiey's at rehearsal tonight. She is our leading player in Pippen. So that's right. They are running the entire show tonight. So she has to be there. >> But before I start, I want to say I'm really impressed with the representatives from Dodd. Uh I don't know if my report is quite as detailed. Uh but I'll I'll try my best. So >> And you're not biased at all. >> Oh, definitely not. >> Okay. >> It's almost like I live with one of them. But >> anyway, starting off, we would really like to give a big recognition to our Cheshure Boys ice hockey program. While their season did end on Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to Lyman Hall in the division 2 seate semi-final, their season really was filled with a lot of really notable accomplishments. Whether it was their record- setting 21game win streak or their SEC championship title, there really is a lot to be proud of.
Everything else has been requested and deferred in prior years or has had partial approvals. Um, and some notable items that are new uh include I would say if you look at the two Norton projects, there are questions about a storage building at Norton that's also going through um the school committee. So that might be taken off of here if it gets approved. Um but we we put it in because we would we would need storage during next year. You can see that there's a DOD middle school athletic field upgrade. There's a $50,000 that actually doesn't represent the entire um project, but just some athletic field upgrades that have been requested. There are some drainage issues at DOD. Um and just kind of getting them in better shape than they currently are. You'll see other new projects. Um it says facility services because it's housed at Chesher High School, but it's really the maintenance garage and that's some snow removal equipment.
Uh which is great. we don't have to uh spend additional money on that. Um and downstairs as well, that's that's the open space that we'll have um uh when when the work is complete. There's still some conversations about whether we're going to have some IT presence down there. Uh we still have our server down um in the basement area there. So, there's some talk about moving it, but uh no no firm decision has been made yet. So, this is really exciting. Uh we've been able to do this and uh some of the early estimates we got were were very off-putting. we were hearing numbers in the in the uh tens of millions of dollars range um to convert this into a school just because of all the the code updates you needed to have children in that space. Um and we were able to do it for significantly less um once we decided to just kind of uh uh keep a lot of the existing structures.
Congratulations. >> You're welcome. Should we try another picture? All right, come on up. >> M2, can you get a picture? >> This is going to be a tough one. >> You want to get a picture? >> I don't have no mirror. Dad's got it. >> Good job, buddy. >> Big cheese. >> Good job, bud. >> Great job. >> Thank you. Great job, guys. Have a good night. >> See you, honey. >> I love that outfit. He is rocking. He's stirable. >> All right, on to business and finance. Um um all right. So A through D is just the financial report for the month of February. Uh no line item has been overextended. There are sufficient funds available uh to meet the financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year. The treasurer and secretary's reports are in agreement for the month of February. Um there are no anticipated changes in our revenue amounts or sources.
So our total anticipated revenue for next year 102,274,12 and here you'll see a summary of appropriations. If you'll just drop to the bottom you'll see that it is the same number again because our expenditures have to equal our revenues. Here's our major categories of appropriations. Staffing makes up almost $55 million of our $102 million budget. So, it encompasses over half just in salaries alone. But we also are required to provide our employees benefits. Benefit costs and other district costs are an additional $28 million in our budget. And then you'll see we have transportation we're required to provide. We have a budget for special education. We have to operate, maintain and provide energy for our facilities. We have curriculum and personnel and technology that we have budgets for. We also budget separately for our clubs and activities. That is the amount of money that we pay out to our club advisors and our um coaching stipens.
Uh Stag High School was represented this year by sevenmea allstate course members. one ILMEA honors chorus member and an ILMEA future music educator. Equally as important are these two gentlemen right here, Mr. Chris Betts, our choir director, and Mr. Makoszie, our band director. Um each both of them um have helped to teach, mentor, and support all of the amazing talented um individuals that you're we're recognizing this evening. So, if I could have Mr. Betts, just step and just say a little bit about um our two students here. So, Mr. Betts, I did hear that there was mention of the Sandberg craft show. If there's anyone in the room who was thinking to themselves, "Oh no, I missed the craft show." Don't worry, Stag has their craft show this Saturday from 9:00 to 4:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 3. We have 180 vendors and you should all be there.
They work hard and and they get a get it done and they do a great job with that. So, we have the five of them to be presented tonight for the summer help for the transportation department. And then we have Teresa Longer who's going to be switching over from a PAR position for us down to our transportation secretary position. We have adjusted the hours of that position a little bit so that Teresa can keep her bus route. I worked with Chuck on that and he feels comfortable with the coverage down at the office of being able to do that and we said that we would try that out for the rest of the school year and just make sure that it was working well. Um we don't foresee any issues with it but she will be a dual role employee for us but she won't exceed the 40 hours on how we have the work schedule structured for that.
And the amount of work that that takes to put together is pretty phenomenal. They are also in charge of our entire homecoming week, including a pep rally of over 3,000 students and 200 staff members. As an adult, that is a huge undertaking. To have students lead and guide that is really phenomenal and we're proud of them for that. Uh, our student council also rejoined the Indiana Association of Student Councils for the first time in many years. And we are honored that we have three students who serve on the board tonight. Ella is here and Anya and they are two of our representatives. So, do you ladies want to step forward so they can see who you are? That's fantastic. Um, we also do a lot of community service and these senior leaders are a big part of that. We make a difference in places like Aspen Trace and Gleaners.
Like if they got hurt by working for us, their workman's comp wouldn't cover it and we didn't have it because they were contracted employers for us. And so that's why they quit working for us. I'm sure Scott you remember, you know, all that that >> um and so that's why we lost those kind of unteers, but those those guys that would help out with traffic in the morning or working at games, they quit doing that because they their their chiefs wouldn't sign off on it because we wouldn't cover them in with a workman's comp and they didn't want their own workman's comp to cover in case they got hurt working for us. So, yeah, I think that's always Go ahead. >> I should clarify that that's the issue is that they're not employees. If they were paid employees, they'd be on work comp, >> but since they're volunteering And >> that's what we're trying to work out.
