001April find the pink sheet, excuse me, May. So, May 2025 treasures report uh to receipts. I'm sorry, this is April. I apologize. There's a typo at the top there. This is April's financial reports. Uh total revenues for general fund 3.2 million. Total expenditures for general fund 7.8 8 million confirmed the back side as the graph our ending cash balance for the month of April 32.5 million uh if we move to the permanent improvement fund total receipts which is tax advance of 153,000 total expenditures 252,000 uh and our ending cash balance in our permanent improvement fund is 4.5 million uh nothing out of the norm standard activity everything is appropriated by the board uh so if there's no other questions uh I do have one other thing unless there's other questions from the board on financials.
002The only other item that I wanted to share is uh we have um we have talked in great detail about the state budget process. Uh June 11th is a key date. Uh June 11th is when the state budget will go to the floor in the Senate for a vote. And so we will um be very attentive and I'll I'll certainly keep forward a breast on what may occur with that. Uh likely what I would anticipate is that the Senate when they vote on September 11th will not concur with the House's previous version which was passed in April. And so when that occurs when they when they have different versions of the budget, they go to a conference committee and then eventually voted out of conference committee and it has to be the governor for formal
003approval by June 30th. So it's it's a critical month for us. Uh as you are aware and maybe the community is aware, we had Senator Blessing here at uh the last regular meeting. Um and we've also been in contact with Representative Odoso and uh we do have our concerns because state budget makes up you know 354% of our funding and so we'll continue to advocate advocate you know during this uh you know during this final week of um of you know legislative process but there are concerns with the current budget that there could be caps on how much we could have in reserve. Uh and there's guarantees as far as state funding. Those guarantees could evaporate as well. Depending on which version ultimately the governor signs uh it's going to be a u it's going
004to be a very important you know month for hills as well as every other public school district uh to see ultimately what our state funding looks like. So um that's that's where we are. June 11th is a big day and um from there I anticipate conference committee and I'll be able to speak. Thank you. Next up, we have the superintendence report. Yeah, no report this month. Okay, we can move to district report. Sure. So, dropped. There it is. Thank you. In your packet as well for for the board. Um, you have a hard copy of this. So later uh later in the agenda we will discuss um it's behind the blue sheet screen there but uh just just to rewind and bring everyone up to speed. Uh at last month's special board meeting, uh the
005board discussed potential options regarding the construction project. Uh we threw a number of items out there all the way leading up to May 19th. Uh on May 19th, our board adopted a master construction uh facility plan. And so in that master plan uh really we are we have our model that we bring to the state and what we anticipate to do with this construction project. This evening is resolution one of two pending board approval uh from from our superintendent. Uh there are a number of resolutions and legalities that you have to have our board any board of education has to pass in order to go on the ballot. And so tonight here in June is resolutions one of two and then the final will be in July to go on the ballot in November. Uh
006so I think uh it is important for our community to be aware and make sure our board uh is all if there's any you know questions moving forward. Uh I think it's our responsibility to keep our community informed on exactly what is going on. Right. Uh there's been a lot discussed you know a lot of proposals. We've had a number of community sessions uh and we've listened to our community and at this point, you know, the opportunity to move forward and secure state funding in phase two, I think is is critical. So, just briefly uh if I could just just share, you know, with the board and the community to summarize some key questions that we came up with. Certainly, it's open to discussion, but uh you know, why are we doing this? I think
007is critical. Uh and so obviously as we've talked really for quite some time over 50% of this project would be funded by the state of Ohio and that would come in phase two. Uh that would be down the road. Uh when I say down the road uh that could be um when the state funding becomes available. And so when that comes available, phase two will occur. So I'll talk about phase one and phase two in detail. Uh what does over 50% of the project mean? That's $70 million funded by the state of Ohio. So when you think about Southwest Local School District, when you think about Three Rivers Local School District, our neighboring districts, Northwest as well, and Southwest is not quite our neighboring, but you you get where I'm going with this. Um, they
008have all participated in this program. And so this is our opportunity to secure state funding, $70 million. Uh, and so why now? So why the timing? So as we've discussed, uh, the timing of this is unison enrolls exactly with the roll off of Rapid Run being paid off. So, Rapid Run will be paid off here in seven months in December. And so, when Rapid Run is paid off in December, uh the request then would be to use those funds to reinvest uh reinvest that millillage into uh future future opportunities, future buildings for our districts. Again, why? Uh just because age is a factor doesn't mean that that's the only reason. uh essentially if we're going to be good stewards of our taxpayers money um we want to be efficient and so you know when you
009have aging facilities that are approaching 100 years old uh it becomes inefficient to operate and essentially you're paying you're you're escalating cost just to operate you know a significantly aging facility capacity uh we're all aware of some development here in uh particularly in Green Township with Trailside Village uh with 180 uh single family units going in um over in the Green Township area. Uh and in our district, you know, led by Mr. Brandt and and the team and certainly the board, uh we we've turned closets into classrooms. Um and so we've we've transformed a number of spaces to become learning spaces and you know that that has stretched and we're busting really at the seam. So certainly enrollment and capacity is a concern and so that's another reason why. Uh when was the last time
010we passed uh a bond issue? It was in 1997. Um, and you can see that Rapid Run was the most significant item. Uh, but, uh, that did also include other buildings in the district. Uh, new gymnasiums at Bridgetown and Delhi, media centers, as well as gymnasium at the high school and the commons and the academic wing. Uh, so that was the last time in 1997. Interestingly enough, there's 23 school districts in Hamilton County. Every single school district in Hamilton County has participated in a new construction project since our last one in 1997. So what's the financial impact uh as as a community member, as a taxpayer um as well as a district, what is the impact? So as communicated and uh publicly posted on our website at the May 19th special meeting, uh our district
011would be asking our community to reinvest. So reinvest those resources from 1997 uh when the last bond issue was passed uh in 1997. And while this is considered a new an additional levy, I think that's a very important piece to this discussion. It is a new levy um the taxes that are assessed by Oakills will be uniform with what you are paying today. So um I think that's critical to understand that we are not asking for an additional um any additional taxes supported by you the taxpayer. We're just simply asking for you to reinvest what you're currently paying as of today. Um, I think this is important. All of it's important, but the construction. So, what's included in this? Um, and I apologize. I'll get that up on screen there. Um, print it on. That's
012interesting. Uh, so what is included in this? And all of this will be posted on our website. It'll be be posted front and center on our website. uh phase one uh new Delhigh middle school, new spring meer in phase one as well as air conditioning at the high school. Bridgetown Middle School uh air conditioning would be included in the project pending when state funds arrive. So if state funds arrive earlier, we the board may have to decide to delay air conditioning at Bridgetown. It really depends on when state funding is going to arrive because at last meeting we talked Springmire Elementary has air conditioning. We could move Springer air conditioning units potentially over to Bridgetown. Um but again all of this is contingent with the state funds arrive. Uh but I think just to reiterate
013phase one which would be really in that time frame of January 2026 through completion of August 29. Phase one includes new Delh High, new string meer, air conditioning at the high school, and pending air conditioning at Bridgetown Middle School. Phase two would be a new Bridtown Middle School. And then depending on inflation, that's when the state's going to kick in the funding. Depending on inflation, uh what we have remaining, uh we would commit to a new Bridtown Middle School. And if there is additional funding, uh we could address potentially other buildings and other needs at other buildings at that point. I apologize if that's not up on the screen there. But again, this will be all posted on the website. Phase one, January 26 through August the 29th. Phase two, 2029 through 20 2032. This
014is all tenative as far as the timeline goes, especially phase two, right? I mean, that's correct. Contingent on us receiving funds from the state. Correct. Yes. The other thing I'd like to point out is that the original plan that the community put together was a little bit different, but the costs were higher than they were initially believed to be. And so that's why we moved Bridgetown to phase two instead of being a phase one project. So it wasn't that we didn't like the community's plan. Community's plan was was great. It's just that the numbers changed a little bit and there wasn't enough money to do both Dell High and Richtown in stage one. So, we appreciate all the people that participated in that in that uh project and all those meetings and such and we
015really want to just let them know that that we only changing plan because the other plan was not financially possible. Uh Jason a little bit. Um so just just really two two or three other questions. Uh will my child be moved uh during the construction process? Uh the answer would be no. So again, Delhi Middle School and Spring Meer would be the first two buildings addressed in phase one. Delhi Middle and Spring Meer, no students would be displaced. Uh and then in phase two, as Mr. West mentioned, with Bridgetown Middle School, phase two, no students will be displaced at Bridgetown Middle School. Um you can see there the age of the buildings. And uh tomorrow morning, again, pending board approval this evening. Uh tomorrow morning, these FAQs will be posted atlus. Uh and it's um
016it's a little bit more visually appealing how you do this more. So uh any further questions from the board this time? The only question I have I on this and and we can discuss it later. the the asterisk around the state funding availability. That wording is a little bit confusing to me, although I understood it when you just verbally said it. So maybe take a look at that. I don't know how to say it better, but absolutely. Thank you.
