Do we have anybody signed up to speak on board agenda items? >> No, we do
006not. >> Then moving on to Face of the Raven, Mr. Ryland. So each month we recognize uh staff and students who have gone above and beyond to show their face of a Raven. Uh we've been doing this for a couple years now where um these are students and staff that go above and beyond and exceed or excel or have done something really special. Our staff members are nominated by our other staff members and our students are nominated by their teachers within each building. Um so we're going to recognize each one of those. Um each person is going to come up on the stage and uh get a award from the board members. Um and so you'll just come up this side and then across the stage and then back down. Um, at the end, um,
007we'll take a brief recess so we can get pictures out in the common area out here. Um, after the recess, everyone is more than welcome to stay, but don't feel obligated. You're more than welcome to go home. Typically, we've got about another 45 minutes to an hour of of board meetings. So, you're either way, we'd love to have you, but we also understand that people have other commitments. So, if I could have all the award winners uh over here. Students, if you could find your building principal and if the high school student is here, uh George, you'll be going up with Mr. Dockerty. Uh Mr. Lane couldn't be here this evening. We're going to do adults first. Let's see. And everything's over here on the chair for you. Label All right. Our first award winner
008is Mrs. Angela Cole. She's a title one teacher at Williard. All right. Uh the nomination says, "Mrs. Cole has organized and run the blankets and books event for kids of Willard for several years. She makes sure everyone feels loved and cared for. In addition to this wonderful event, she's always decorating Williard for each holiday and makes school a welcoming welcoming place for everyone. And if anyone hasn't seen online, every student at Willard last week got a blanket and a book to take home uh through donations that Mrs. Cole organizes. So, thank you, Mrs. Cole, for your hard work. Our next staff member is Mrs. Mandy Kao. She's our secretary from West Main Elementary School. Her nomination uh says that she multitasks every day. She's a wonderful secretary, does her job and lots of other jobs
009as well. Mrs. Kao goes above and beyond with professionalism and a smile on her face every day. And you know, through the chaos of the day at West Main, I can honestly say, and I know her building principal can say that Mrs. Kao keeps everything uh organized and ready to go. Whether it's chaos or not, you really can't tell over there. So, congratulations. Thank you. All right, our final staff member is Mr. Tom Parker. He's our industrial tech teacher at Revena High School. His assistant principal, Mr. Duncan nominated him. He said, "Mr. Parker goes above and beyond with the students. He makes sure students get necessary skills to be able to build and maintain things in order uh in for their own future homes. He has worked with numerous families on Pinewood Derby projects. He
010makes every student feel welcome in the class. He's a great asset to Raana High School and the students and he's a pleasure to have around. So, thank you, Mr. Parker, for your work and dedication. All right, our first student is from preschool, Mickey Boland. And Mickey's teacher said, "I am nominating Mickey as a face of a Raven student. He is kind and a sweet boy. He is quick to put the needs of his friends before his own. He is always asking others if they are okay and wants to offer them a helping hand. Mickey is eager to try all the activities that are offered in his preschool classroom. He is supported by a loving family as evidenced tonight by his large crowd tonight and uh it's apparent that they are invested in his education. Mickey
011is a wonderful student but most of all he is a superb friend to all. Congratulations Mickey. Congratulations. >> Okay. Our Willard student wasn't able to make it tonight, but Mrs. Flower is going to gather the uh award for Daxton Holles, a kindergartenner. Daxton come Oh, go ahead. Daxton comes to school ready to learn each day. He is kind and respectful toward every adult at Willard and his friends. He's a good role model, helpful and responsible, and I'm so proud of his progress this year. So, congratulations to Daxton as well. All right, our student from West Main this month is fourth grader Lei Terry. The team of Mrs. Chickick, Mrs. Brackenrich, Mrs. Co, Miss Cole, and Miss Stodder would like to nominate her this month for the West Main Face of a Raven. They said Le
012Ali is a hardworking student that is engaged in every lesson she participates in. She is so helpful to the other students, always taking the time to help them understand learning when a teacher may not have been able to. She always follows directions and models positive behaviors even when no one is watching. She is a model student as to what a Raven should be. Congratulations. All right, our middle school student is sixth grader Khloe Woodward. Khloe is a wonderful and caring Brown Middle School Raven. She comes to school with a smile on her face and is ready to learn. This year, Khloe is on the yearbook staff as a photographer for Thursday theme days. She is kind and polite to everyone she meets. And Mrs. Ramley is so proud of Chloe and all the progress she
013has made this year. Keep reaching for the stars, Chloe. You are very capable. Congratulations. And our high school student is ninth grader George Hudson. George, you received two nominations from the adults at your building. Mrs. Rosinski says he quietly sets a great example for his peers in algebra class. He asks questions when needed. He is determined to find his mistakes so that he can learn from them and he works well in groups with partners. George consistently does what is necessary and it is self-motivated to make sure he is always moving forward with his education. Mrs. Denofrio also said that George has caught my eye and my heart this year as a freshman. His presence is soft and caring, but powerful and important. He was recruited for Upwardbound and has been involved in each meeting and
014activity. He is a quiet listener, but a dominant supporter. I wholeheartedly believe George has a strong future in whatever he puts his mind to. Congratulations, George. Yeah, I see it. Come on across. Daxton has made it. So, we're thrilled he's here. So, let's give him the honor and recognition for making it here tonight. Congratulations, Saxton. We're really proud of you. Your teachers really think a lot of you. So, congratulations. >> Okay. So, we're going to take a brief recess. uh pictures right behind the curtain here on the other side of the wall. Um and then like I said, you're free to leave or more than welcome to come back in. Thank you everyone. Honestly, the whole thing is right off the bat. I'm We get >> son. This thing is like so sensitive. But I
015started to notice like just everyday >> like pain I see. pretty bad. All right, we'll start now with Whoops. Ready for our treasures report? >> This is our treasures report. So, um the first document and board members, you have a copy of this document. This is our January monthly report. So it's how did January fare to the for our most recent forecast which was the one that we've submitted in August. So we are trending higher in our revenue by 411,000. We're trending lower in our expenditures of around 755,000 and now our cash on hand is an increase of about 1.16 million. All right. So, this doesn't matter anymore now because now I'm going to be doing the forecast um for the February forecast. So, everything starts back at zero. So, to the board members, you
016have the presentation packet and you have the guide to each of the line items at your seat. For the community, all these documents will be available on the district website under the treasurer. uh tomorrow. All right. So, why do we do a financial forecast? Well, first of all, it's required by Ohio Revised Code. It is required to do twice a year. So, the state legislators changed the dates. It used to be November and May and now it's August and February. There's some hypothesis on why these were changed. I believe it's because we do elections and ballots in November and May and they want to make sure that board members and the community have information prior to making voting decisions. However, there is a little bit of negative to these dates. So, for example, we don't
017know our counts until the end of October. So we don't know our enrollment which is part of the formula in our state funding. So um there is some negativity to some of the dates. So we're going to um file as required and then I do maybe see maybe some amendments happening in the future. So the financial forecast consists of two things. It's a one-page financial forecast which shows um some of your past years with your current years and four years out. Uh we're required to now file only the past years, the current year, and three years out. That is also a legislative change that they don't want us to submit what was used to be called a 5-year forecast. It's more of a four-year forecast. And there is some truth to this. As you kind
018of get out further, it's more estimates. Um so the the less years that you have, um the data is more real as it's less years and it's um going to occur quicker. The 5-year forecast, I mean, I'm sorry, the financial forecast is also important as it's an engagement tool with the community and stakeholders on financial planning and discussions. It's also a communication tool to Ohio Department of Education and Workforce and auditors on maybe potential financial problems that a district may havinging and may need some interventions or may be placed on some fis fiscal um oversight status and it's very important because it's our basis for our certificate 412. So basically we are signing off on a certificate 412 that says we have sufficient funds to make payroll and pay our debts. All right. So as
019I said the first part of the financial forecast is this huge one-page document which you can't really see. Um to the board members you have a copy of this in front of you. And now for this presentation I'm taking screenshots of parts of it so that it's more visible and it's more easy to understand. So, what are the components of a five-year forecast? So, you have your incoming money, which is your revenues and your other financing sources. You have your expenditures, which is what do we um pay out. You have your debt services um your other financing um um uses. And then there's some very important key lines. So, line 6.010 010 is a very important line that most people gravitate towards and that is your deficit spending. So is it positive or negative? And
020you really want it to be positive so that your um revenue is higher than your expenditures. When your expenditures are higher than your revenues, that's deficit spending. And that kind of gives a little signal like, hey, we need to look at a plan on getting an expenditure reduction or revenue enhancement so that we do not have deficit spending. The other line that's really important is that last line, that line 15.101, and that's your cash balance on hand. And you want that to be positive so that um you're not in fiscal oversight and that you have enough funds in order to pay payroll and to pay your bills. So the next one is your revenue. So what does your revenue comprise of? So we are a district that receives 44% of our revenue from taxes. And
021those taxes are comprised of our real estate taxes. Um that is your levies and your inside millillage. It is comprised of your POP which is your public utility tax. And then we do not do income tax. So 44% of our uh revenue comes from taxes. 51% of our revenue comes from state sources. And what makes up your state forces? So your state forces is it's called state funding or unrestricted. So that's the money that comes from the governor's every two-year budget. So this is um example. You get like your excess cost is in there. Your base formula funding is in there per student. Um, but the there's a formula. So, they look at your enrollments and they look at what they deem as the wealth of a district. And, um, I talked about this um,
022at prior meetings, they use your property valuation in the district to determine the wealth of a district. So even though we're only collecting on the inside millillage, they use those figures to be like, "Oh, well, Revena, you have higher property valuation. So you as a community can support your schools more, so we're going to give you less." So that's the way that um they do the state funding calculations. So the other state funding that we get is called restricted aid. And this is money that we get from the state, but it has a dedicated purpose and can only be used for that purpose. So examples of that would be um we had like science of reading last year. You have gifted funds. You have DPIA which is disadvantaged um pupil impact aid. Uh we get
023threshold costs. So threshold costs are um students that are being serviced on an IEP. We submit um costs back back to the state because what we've been given wasn't enough to cover the cost for those students. And then you have um all other revenues. Um and your all other revenues could be like our Medicaid um funding. Um there's um like leases like other ways that we can generate uh revenue for the district, but it's very small like you're looking at only about 5%. So what's interesting is the green and blue will differ for each school district. Like there's some school districts that they only get 10% in state funding because they get have to generate 90% from property taxes. You may have other districts like an Akran or Cleveland that are 25% property taxes and
02475% in state funding. So that's why this is being a very difficult situation for even legislators because no districts are the same. Like you can create property tax reform that'll benefit 300 districts but will be awful for the other 300. So it's a very challenging uh situation. Let's see. All right. So now I've taken a screenshot of your one-page forecast so that you can see what does this look like and how does it look like for over the years. So remember we started out with history. So you have your history that that we're closed on 25. So that's what we achieved um that's what we received in revenue and other financing sources and now 26 our current year and then we go out 27 28 29 and 30. So you see kind of a little
025bit of a bump in property taxes and that's all contributed to the community passing the emergency 5-year levy and um as I stated in the past the inside millillage and the reappraisal we received 188,000. So, you kind of see it flattening out and that's kind of due to legislation where there's going to be caps on how much a school district can collect on um reappraisals and then um you kind of have your POP. So, POP we we put in what we were expected to get, but there is some lawsuits occurring at this time from some of the public utilities providers. So, um, if they win those lawsuits or it gets adjusted, then in my next forecast, I'll readjust that. So, this kind of shows how we're trending. Um, we're pretty stagnant, um, pretty status quo
026on our state funding. And then at the bottom, if you look at the bottom at that 2.08, that's your total revenue and other financing sources. So, we're kind of expecting to get 29 million in FY26 cuz remember we're only collecting half of the emergency levy. So, then we go to full collection and it's pretty straight. It's about 30 million straight across. There's really no growth um in any of our revenue, but we do know we're going to have growth in our expenditures. So, the next one is our expenditures. So, what is our expenditures? Well, we are a people industry. So of course most of our costs are going to be people salaries and benefits. So we spend about 80% of our expenditures is attributed to salaries and benefits. And then we have about 15% for
027purchase services. And purchase services may be our utilities. It's our um any contracted services, our our legal fees, it's our utilities for our buildings, it's our gas for our buses. And then in the yellow it's about 5% and these are our expenditures for um any of our supplies and capital any of our debt. So um we pay out of here like our auditor fees. So for the um Portage County auditor to collect our tax money we pay a fee for that. So if you are collecting more tax money your fees go up. These are our bank fees, um, liability insurance. So now again, I took all the expenditures and other financing sources and it's going to be on the next two um pages of the documents provided to the board and it kind of shows
028where we're at with our expenditures. So our expenditures are going to go up by um we're expecting like purchase services, supplies, capital outlay to go up between about 2 to 5%. um you know we're in going to be in union negotiations. So um there's been some figures um calculated into the salary increases and then for benefits for our healthcare it usually goes up between 5 to 10% a year. So those are all kind of estimated and calculated in here. So then if you look at the next page for the board, you're kind of looking at that bottom line and that's your 6.010. That's that line I talked about before. what what is it looking like with our expenditures versus our revenue? And as you see, we are not doing any deficit spending, but as you
029get to year FY 2030, you start to see that deficit spending. So that's where we have to kind of be like, this is a warning sign for us, like, oh well, we need to kind of figure out how to eliminate that deficit spending. So this is a nice graph that kind of shows um the deficit spending the revenues. So you have in um blue, you always want blue to be higher than yellow. So blue is your revenue, yellow is your expenditures. But as you see here, we're kind of crossing over as we're going into 30 where our expenditures are exceeding our revenue. And that's where you're seeing that deficit spending. Okay. The next one is your line 15 uh 010 and this is your cash on hand. So basically again you want your that your
030expenditures are in your yellow, your revenue is in your blue and then that line is your cash balance. So, we're seeing an upward trend of our cash balance, but then you see now as it's going lower as we're um further out in years. And the next page is kind of your chart on your cash balance limit. So, we finished up FY25 with a little about 2.4 million. In FY26, we're expected to be at 4.4 million. 27 our cash balance on hand 6.2 million in 28 it's 6.8 million 29 6.2 million and then 2030 4.2 million. So how does this equate to cash on hand per days? So we are expected um so if you can recall the past we were like negative days or we had one or two days of cash on hand. So
031we're expected to kind of be around 59 days in um 26 and then go to 80 84 73 and 48 for 27 28 29 and 30. So um the finance committee and then the policy committee I'll be presenting a cash balance policy that we'll be reviewing on what do we deem as our district what should be our cash balance on hand what should we do if it goes below that number and then what should we do if it goes above that number. So for example, let's say we say we want for the subsequent year to be 60 for so for the next year to be 60 but then we want it to be 80 going forward and if it goes below 80 in like years 2 and three we need to kind of meet and
032figure out a plan of how we're going to get that number back up so that we're fiscally sound. And then if it goes over a hundred then maybe we have a plan that what will be our plan to spend down that money to align with our strategic plan for the district. So that will be coming um I'll be presenting that to the finance committee the policy committee and then it'll be presented at the board meetings for two readings for your approval. Okay. So what has happened in the past to impact um school districts funding? So basically, House Bill 96 gives county auditors this option to do piggyback. So there's six counties in Ohio that are doing it. We are not doing it right now, but what it does is um it gives homeowners 2 1.5%
033more credit on their taxes, but that so that money is still coming from the state, but then the county doesn't get that. So, everybody that gets that money is going to get like a 2 and 12% reduction. Okay. Um, the next one is House Bill 129, which um states that all leveies are part of the floor. Um, this does not impact us because all of our levies were already part of it and we were not below the 20 mil floor. So, no impact to us. House Bill 186 is an inflation credit cap. So um as you saw your property taxes in the district go up 29.42%. There'll be a cap on how high property taxes can go up and how much can be collected and that will be determined by the GP GDP in deflator
034and we are using a figure of 8%. In our forecast um this other one's an interesting one too. So, um there's no more business credit. So, business owners, um throughout the state would be able to get a 10% credit on their taxes that was paid from by the state. The state pulled that. So, if you are a owner of rental properties, they're not getting that anymore. If you own businesses in cities, you're not getting that anymore. It's not impacting the school district because that money of 10% is actually going back to homeowners. So, as a property owner, you get 12.5% in uh roll back and in your um home. Um you get 12.5% back in your rollbacks and owner occupied. That is going to go to 15.38% over the course of four years. So, that
03510% is just shifting over there. So, it's no impact to school districts. House Bill 309 expanded the authority of the county commissioners. this is still um kind of in limbo on what that's going to impact. Um so in some counties they're having these budget meetings where the board president, the superintendent, myself would have to present our forecast to the commissioners and if they felt that you were over maybe 50% carryover, you had to have a plan. Um we're not really seeing that much right now in Portage County. Um but uh we're constantly meeting with Mr. Kelly and how all this is going to impact us. Uh let's see. And the next one is our uncertainties. So I'm presenting a forecast and it's very similar to a weather forecast. We're we're days out. We're like 30
036days out. I'm using historical data. I'm using predictions. But as we get closer and closer to the date, I'll know more on and that's why we'll keep um fine-tuning this and always being on top of this. Here's what I we don't know. We don't know who's going to be the governor and what the governor's budget's going to be. So, right now, we got Governor Dwine's budget for for right now. And then when the new governor comes in, they're going to do a two-year budget. And like Governor Dwine changed formulas. We don't know what's going to change uh for the positive or the negative for school districts. As I stated, there is that piggyback tax exemption. We will only know how that'll impact Portage County. It's a year-to-year basis. So, the county auditor can put this
037in place at the beginning of each year. So, that's another uncertainty. And we don't know any new legislation that will be approved or is pending that could impact the school districts. But as we know things, we will modify our forecasts accordingly. And as I stated, this financial forecast which is and with the assumptions will be available on the district website tomorrow. And if anybody has any questions in the community, they are more than welcome to email me and I can return a phone call or set up an in-person meeting. >> Does the board have any questions? >> That was an excellent presentation. >> Well, thank you very much. >> So understandable. >> Thank you. >> And whenever I'm out in public and somebody asks me if I can carry this with me, I'm going to
038be able to answer questions. Thanks. >> Thank you very much. Anybody else? All right, superintendence update. >> Thank you. I just have a few things I wanted to uh announce. First of all, this Wednesday um at the high school is we're only going to have juniors at the high school during the day. Um the rest of the students will be at home on uh having assignments and online learning. It's ACT day and all of our juniors here at Urbana High School will be taking that test during that day. We've done that in the past for several years. Um, just wanted to recognize Willard for their great growth on Dibbles. Uh, Dibbles is uh, one of our benchmarks and indicators that show reading growth and we've seen some really great success at Williard. I think that's
039attributed to uh staying true to our CKLA reading program, providing interventions and skills throughout the day on top of the normal instruction. So, we've seen some really positive trends uh for our K2 students. Um just wanted to uh talk about the new athletic league for the 2728 school year. It is going to be called the Greater Portage Athletic Conference. consists of eight teams. Mador, Garrettsville, Rutstown, Southeast, Akran, Springfield, Crestwood, Waterlue, and Ravena. Um, just really excited about one the close relationships that we have with a lot of our county schools, the uh amount of drive time that we've reduced in half, um, as well as the more competitive balance with our, uh, enrollment figures and and and athletic teams. Um we've all been meeting on a regular basis. Um currently we're in uh committee work
040uh interviewing and hiring a commissioner as well as finalizing our new bylaws for the league. um each school's represented on one of those two committees um with the superintendents and ads and um it's just been a really positive and enlightening discussion to have with these uh seven other schools that just have the same common goals for our kids to be competitive and and have a good quality league and you know increase our uh attendance at events as well as reducing our drive time so that we can focus our kids on academics, not getting home. so late from school for when they have homework. So, uh that'll be not next year. Uh we will be in the 10 team MAC for next year for our last year and then moving on to the GPAC in 2728.
041And then finally, I just wanted to talk briefly about um all the changes that we have next year. Obviously, we've announced that West Mate is closing. Uh so, next year, Willard will be K through two. Uh Brown Middle School will be 3 through six and the high school will be 7 through 12 down to three buildings. I know we've had lots of questions about things. Um all the administrators meet on a bi-weekly basis or weekly basis depending on the week and uh to to work on planning and everything. Um we just had our eighth grade transition night last week and um we're going to be doing sixth and seventh grade visits in the spring. as we get a little closer to the end of the year so that they can tour the building similar to
042what our high school students do when they go to Maplewood for a day tour, a half a day tour. And then we're going to have some open houses and things in August as they can come and work on their lockers and their schedules. Um we will be communicating that all out through either parent square or email or both. Um also busing will be similar to what we've had in the past. So, we'll do a questionnaire in the spring, especially for our high school students who are going to be using the buses. And then final routes don't get released till August. So, just so everyone has a timeline of where we're at and what we're doing. Um, we're still, you know, there's a lot of layers to this, not just staffing, not just kids, but also,
043you know, physical moves and closures of buildings and making sure that we're maintaining those. and we want to make sure that we're giving all accurate information out the first time instead of having to backtrack and give out any more information that wasn't correct.
