010the board in U uh 2021 um it it was a new experience to me um and having the leadership of several of those that are that are on the board with us um including Mr Mr Cruz was um just a helpful opportunity for me to learn about what was happening in the district and um your your leadership is um doesn't go unnotice obviously the time that you spent with us and end you again number of years you've you've spent in in this leadership role can I say so I never had Ambitions to be on the school board um I was a upset parent at a time when our community and District was in a low and I was blessed to get on here and help make some changes and then the changes pretty quick and
011then I was like now what you know well I learned so much um being on this school board uh the people here the teachers the principls the custodians the bus drivers in today's world are First Responders uh this world's kind of messed up and uh families are messed up stuff and when people say well why isn't the teacher doing this or that I'll point out well you know before they got to teach they probably had to find food for a child and then another child didn't come with shoes and they had to find clothes um and over the years I've been in Mr Row's office when there's a child that is sleeping in his office and he's like well he had been in trouble for his grades and so for so many weeks he came
012to study but when he was done with the studying he didn't tell his mom it was over and he still got dropped off in the morning cuz it was the only time he felt love from anyone uh you know and so that school bus driver can make a huge difference when that kid gets on the bus what their day is going to be like my son had a friend who got in trouble a lot at school um what people didn't know is he had a a severely uh a a younger brother with a lot of health problems at home that he was taken care of as a 14 or 15year old and there's so much trauma with these kids and in the beginning I was blessed that my kids were in a friend group that
013uh I just didn't know that was even out there I just thought everything was like that and when I got on the board and and learned what kids are going through um and how today's family is failing a lot of them there's no dinner family dinners there's you know uh it's just and so I wanted to do whatever I could to make sure that the staff knew that they're doing an awesome job and that we've got awesome kids and to do whatever we can to protect them and uh this District took care of my family for many years uh when we lost the baby and her sister had a lot of health issues and there were times I didn't even know where Blake and Emma were and the secretary's got her or uh you know
014someone's taking care of them and uh there were teachers that wouldn't have Riley for years that were coming to the hospital to check on and so my time here was also a a thank you for what you did for us so I'll stop thank you again for your your years of service and dedication to the district um and wish you the fa best in your retirement from boice all right well let's switch gears back to you Dr I for your monthly superintendent report try and follow that thanks um a few items on in your board packet are ATS students filled out thank you cards they uh did that last year and uh I encourage you to read through those attachments uh their handwritten cards and the kids uh shared what program they're in and it
015ranges from HV te hbac to carrate and nursing uh to teaching and it's um I appreciate those kids taking the time uh to share those and to the those at Jefferson colge ATS for working with the kid that so it's a a really good read there um Mr Lenor and myself actually went to Jefferson City I mail May March 11th uh for the advocacy day and visit with a few of U our legislators and representatives uh a number of issues did just want to update the board that on House Bill 7-Eleven it has passed the house uh that's the Open Enrollment um bill I haven't got anything I'll relate to that on where it's at in the Senate uh but I'll follow up via email and on that should there be any movement on that
016uh supplemental budget put some information in there was sent to the governor uh related for foundation uh formula there is some shortfalls in the lottery and gambling Revenue uh and some other uh typically funded areas and there's an Omnibus Bill House Bill 6 7 had passed the house um extends a substitute teacher retirement authorization until 2030 uh ensures inclement weather days do not impact state aid for districts with 169 day calendar with the number of issues that we've had this year weather related uh and then water related is hopefully there's some movement on that that that would benefit I sent a letter to the commissioner desie on that just it's tough to get those days in especially uh when you have kind of an abnormal year so uh put some information there and just some
017information I'm looking ahead the summer school summer projects uh some of those will be thr about later on in the all right any questions on the superintendent report okay straight into the financial report all right Mr MOA you able to share the I think I have a hyper link there as kind of talking through for the audience members as I also uh I put some handouts there I'm just going to walk us through uh some of our finance at a a glance up on the screen is a kind of a PowerPoint of this document put together a just a high level overview of where we are financially and then compared it against some previous years uh this do doent would then also help us as we're in the middle of setting the budget for next
018school year and then uh with the goal of actually looking two years out as we get into planning just some high level items if as we roll through on the total expenditures um looking at I'm going to look on just the one as you can see our expenditures for Debt Service have went up significantly as you look at this document that's because we're having the prep payoffs of those um the the bonds our Capital uh projects fund has also went up you know we finished up in this fiscal year the uh Learning Center and so those account for a little higher than uh previous years our sources of operating revenues um wanted to point this out is why you'll hear me talk a lot about what's going on in Jefferson uh City the state because
019of um how our uh our tax rate locally is being so much lower is 40 only 49% of our total revenue in operating is coming from local sources that's actually increased this year over last year so 41 uh percent is from at the state level so any variation there does have a significant impact on us the federal uh government and the uh County uh you can see are there as well one of the things uh that's kind of and you may get asked this question right we getting a lot of the Department of Education what's going to happen if the Department of Education in Washington shuts down is from a practical standpoint not much because Ida is in our special education fund uh US Department of Agriculture already handles um school lunches you know some
020of those financial items that impact us um there won't those will still be funded I feel fairly confident on that the what may occur is the state test issue I mean it's a trickle down from the federal level all the way down uh to us on the as far as State Testing and such so from a financial standpoint I don't expect um much movement there on the next slide will be how we use our operating funds um 59 .5% is on salaries and then the 17 59 yeah 17.7 is on our benefits so right at 77 uh. two is on salaries and benefits so right close to 80% is where we try to be or is typically where we're at as far as total amount of operating funds is going to salary benefits so why
021I'm hyperfocused like the state funding when 80% of that money deals with our staff members uh that's feeding their families and taking uh care of our community members and a lot of them that live locally our purchase services and supplies kind of round out the rest of our operating expenses you Contin to scoll down Mr Mo total General obligation debt we right at 6.2 million million um it's kind of amazing over the last six years we've reduced that by almost 80% um and so the 6.2 million we have um I was visiting this week not final numbers but there's about 33 cents left in debt service that if we continue it this year um which we we could or we could drop it a little bit um um but if we do the 33 cents
022we will then uh are estimated have enough that we won't de service so then roll off in in its entirely and the money uh will be there to prepay the remaining of the debt That was supposed to be paid in 20034 or something like that there'll be like 115,000 uh left there but uh are there many schools out there that are Deb free no uh now we do have uh that's our general obligation debt we do have roughly um say between two and three million not a hard number but is we have the hall house and the farm and I talked about that last meeting but we're making more in our investments than what the current interest rates are at this point um operating fund balance uh at the end of the last fiscal year
023was right at 46.5 I anticipated being close to 43 uh this year um because of some Capital items and when we F factor in that planning as well as our salaries as we're planning out uh for the next few years so we're in a good spot there but we also need to continue to monitor that in the future uh revenue and expenditures per Ada just sharing some of that uh information as far as our local tax effort uh those are some Desy calculations that we use um in comparison with different schools the next slide is just some fast facts our tax rate 3.73 is the lowest in Jefferson County and if that Debt Service when that rolls off it's going to be by a large margin um almost $150 from the highest at that point
024and our assess valuation there real estate went up personal property uh there're at 90 million early information um is that assess valuation G up 10% but that will invoke the Handcock Amendment with u CPI roughly at 2.8% so uh that I don't have any of those calculations on there but there will be an impact so our tax levy uh has steadily decreased from $461 in 2021 to $373 in so that's where we're at on that and then I showed on this document uh so what does that number uh mean in real dollars to people so this particular slide um shows that in 2020 an individual that lived in a 3 $1,000 house paid $2,633 in uh taxes to the school district and 2024 it was $2,330 so it's went down $500 a month so I
025put it perspective just giving those numbers a $200,000 house in the Hillsboro district has went down $335 uh in taxes annually um 3,502 4,670 do less than what it was in 2020 and a $500,000 house uh went from $4,300 in taxes in 2020 to uh $3,500 in minus $837 so you can see um what that actually what the tax rate means uh in real dollars to our citizens and so you know below his tax rate approximately 30 years we continue to invest in our education teaching support and doing Innovative things of which we're going to talk about even this evening is just trying to be uh planning well financially and getting ahead of things and uh part of the thing when we have the funds that we do we're able to now use opportunities to
026uh do things when other businesses may not be or even some schools is we're finding out some of the schools are are not doing some of the projects that they've done in the past um some of that slowed down which is driven our cost down we had that conversation with uh Schneider and some of our hpac work and some of our bids came in uh low much lower than what we even anticipated because we have the cash and then it's also using we're making interest on uh our cash there so if you scroll down uh more we have 235 uh certified staff 17 administrators 146 fulltime staff and then uh by the Numbers really proud of this is our average salary has taken a pretty big jump um even since last year you know we
027added the $1,500 to the salary schedule for this current year along with career ladder and doing all those different things so even on top of that uh so that's exciting um since I've went through since 2020 um and most of our uh positions have had such significant increases and even in our classified staff some have risen 46 50 60% um now that percentage to put a perspect our pair of professionals at the time was like $8 an hour but when you're doubling that to 16 um but that's uh awesome to see our average teacher experience is 14 half Which is higher than a lot of districts around us uh our teachers with master's degrees are higher is much higher and I did a comparison to many local districts so uh what that tells me is
028we are uh and I think I've said this before we're hiring teachers from other districts veteran teachers is our first year teachers we get some but it's more the exception than the norm um so we're hiring veteran teachers of work uh at other places and want to come tobor student to teacher ratio is 15 to one I did put on there student to classroom teacher ratios higher 21 to1 a lot of times when teachers see that they're like it ain't 15 to1 in my class that is the number of Staff members certified staff members divided by that so I think in order to be clearly transparent is putting that 21 to one um and that's districtwide and then finally uh so our enrollment Trends is put we have that steady decline and we expect that
029continuing uh in the near future there are I saw there was a new subdivision going in I think mayor Russell put something out and so hopefully we see some of of that um with some growth there depending on what happens in Jefferson City could impact that um so on the open Ro I foresee that being positive for Hillsboro in the short term on the enrollment side is because people want to come to school here uh so not that that's a good thing for open road but I don't know I don't view that as something that'll have an immediate negative impact on you so that is I think kind of wraps up the district en rollment there so we'll just have this year-over year this is also if you're online you can get uh put this
030on our district website if you go the menu uh about our district this is posted so if you want to look at it yourself if you weren't able to see that is review that and some other financial information there as well one of the things it's in the consent agenda um if you'll notice your financials for February 2025 if you look at your board packet and your investment data has presented in a different way than it has been historically um one of the things that I is particularly on the investment side is to show how it's kind of impacted throughout the year so if you look in there're on their consent agenda in July 2024 we actually made $113,000 that month in interest August was 111 September was 114,000 January you're going to see 928
031th000 that's because we pulled out the the bond payments that were going to be paid in March so that was um a significant amount so we're right at um close to a million dollar total in investment earnings so far this year year we still got three or four months but as you can see with um 70,000 in February if you keep scrolling down there the interest rates have dropped almost 1% so as we're doing budget for uh this upcoming year is visiting to see how much that we can safely from a cash flow perspective making payroll and all those different things that we can lock in at some of these higher rates um that even though it may be uh a little lower to do a one year but evaluate do we do in six
032months do we do a thre month or do we lock in a one year particularly on maybe some of a capital project that's going to be next summer is just set that money aside and let it cook uh locking in while it's still in the fours because just as in our money Market in July I was 5.21% in February now we're down to 4.24 so it's just being mindful of that so an indepth kind of financials there but wanted to present it in a different way that's the first of how that'll look going forward in that report because then it kind of builds and gives us information at central office hey we're kind of seeing what there and then also comparing in your financials um a revenue breakdown and then doing a threee to date
033comparison on our Revenue expenditures by that month to see like hey we weigh above where we should be this year as far as expenditures are we in line is there anything different and just uh sharing that information so for the board and the community but it also it's helping us along the way to kind of any abnormalities address that so that's all I got appreciate it any questions for Mo on all right thank you very much all right we have no items of board policy to uh review this evening do we have any public comments public comments we move right on to our uh consent agenda this evening do I have a motion to approve the items on our consent agenda as presented motion second all right these are items a through L as presented

043uh mayor Russell and Mr Daniel the city administrator as uh as well as um Engineers regarding the Leon Hall 21 interchange I have a map there Mr Moore can you put that it would be in there you able to share that as well with the audience um Ryan Knuckles is a pH physical therapist um and many may know even know his father worked for Hillsboro for a long time uh Dr duckles was administrator here he's they tore down the tanning place today he's building a physical therapy place and I had met with uh him previously and as we talked um we thought it' be agreed that it would be a good place to put that turn lane in while we were doing this project um going towards the tanning location and just doing it all
044at once originally we had thought we may have to do two phases which would have then put a right turn lane to go to doto either would have had to been where those trees are uh on the south side of uh Leon Hall or maybe even out in the field is uh I reached out to the city and asked them to have the engineers look at it could it be done to go north and they did it uh and they brought this back and they said yeah we can do that and so uh and I'm going to walk up here to kind of they didn't put an arrow here is we had committed $100,000 cuz this is a tap Grant and an STP GR so two different grants one of the grants uh is actually
045paying through mod do uh for the Highway 21 work and then the other Grant is for the sidewalk along Leon Hall from business 21 all the way to the high school as well as the crosswalk so that was an 8020 Grand uh we anticipated between 75 and 100,000 that's how we came up that original so uh the Engineers they said there's going to be additional cost uh in doing that um I'll be honest I anticipated much A5 $700,000 number when it deals with School uh construction they uh figure that number to be right at I this here to do this additional work and just do it now and this will be the turn lane all right to go go into Leon Hall here sidewalk will go uh north of there the current road that uh
046people take to go to the primary and high school will then become the Northbound left turn lane and the current uh normal exiting will be the doodo head towards south or across to the intermediate the additional cost is we have to move a stop light and the arm uh and everything here there's a storm drain if you drive by there during the day there's a utility pole right at that corner there's a storm drain and we're going to have to move the stoplight further up north put the crosswalk but it actually lines out pretty good uh on the other side towards the the mercy location and then we will also put the crosswalk in in preparation for a sidewalk on the farm side of business 21 that will be a phase two but we're able
047to do this entire uh turn lane project and this includes so the numbers were uh when they took out what was already part of the the grant it came to $218,000 additional um and the engineer is like for 40,000 we anticipate then we can put the detector Loops something they put in the road and just have all that done for 40,000 more we'll lay black top all the way to the first primary entrance so that's we're like yes please uh so we are going to put some hot patch to fix that road for this year as soon as it gets warm I that pothole every day yeah fixing that I'm talking about but we will not have a total ripping out that this year we'll get it fixed up so people aren't hurting their vehicles
048uh but so when you add that together 258 260,000 on top of this what we had already budget that's why I'm saying 400 gives us some room I anticipated to come underneath that but to do all of that work have a sidewalk all the way back uh and have that turn lane in and working with the city I want to thank Mr Daniels and and mayor Russell for that to have a crosswalk $400,000 from a district perspective uh I think it saves us a lot of money in the future to build a different Road it doesn't mess with any of the current field and it's just done because we would have to either mess with a stoplight if we took out those trees this is a best case scenario and we're going to meeting with
049Dr Knuckles a great neighbor there and I just make that great solution so anticipated time there is with every something that seems exciting there's always that construction is anticipated in January February of 2027 so not next school year cuz this is all mod do so it's also going to be middle the year so we are going to have to make some adjustments um potentially using the Civic Club um entrance by the food pantry I thought as and I actually visit with Dr Freeman yesterday some flipflop of r a row and buses we're a year from that uh but construction then would end it finish up June July of 2017 that's why I'm saying fiscal year 27 so if they finish in June these would be paid or in July will be fiscal year 20 so
050we will then pay the city because the city's doing all the paperwork doing all the those things there is there's a lot of man hours there and stuff like that so um I told the city that I would bring to the board that we pick up the full amount of the additional cost of theer that benefits us it's on our property um I think that that's they're doing a lot of the work and submitting everything um that's my recommendation to the board on that so I will post that online um and share that and then also there is a a document that I Shar with the board basically uh it's an addendum to our previous one of which we said we contribute 100,000 is upping that to 400 by an additional 300 to 400,000 um
051so that the city has that reassurance that they'll be uh get their money back you yes sooner the better that poth hole is killing a tire man killing my car and my kid is going to be driving it next year so oh he'll be he's going to be getting it on purpose and anything else in his way all right any other questions on this project all right all those in favor of approval of this proposal motion carries all right a few more items remaining in new business you have the approval of primary and Early Childhood Program admin and support staff restructure so do I have a motion to approve the primary and Early Childhood Program administrative and support staff restructure as it's presented for us second okay any questions regarding this restructuring efforts there do
052you think part time is going to be enough for your parent educator theid we'll have we'll be looking for one full time and one part time so we'll have like 1.5 okay other questions hearing none all those in favor of approval and opposed motion carries our last item of new business tonight approval of the insurance deductible revision we have a motion to uh approve the insurance deductible revision to the HSA plan for these changes as I presented motion second any questions hit us from side here yeah so uh I have visit with both organizations uh about this immediately after uh found out about so our uh HSA is a 3,000 deductible in order to be IRS compliant and they they didn't catch this USI didn't catch it uh until UHC alerted them of it is
053it has to be at least $3,300 uh to be qualified as a high deductible play for our employees so like I have the HSA and my wife is on it so if I got looked at from taxes and they're like joh bring in all your stuff and I would say I have an HSA is it a high deductible plan if I brought in for $3,000 they're like that doesn't fall about is it has to be a minimum of $3,300 because I explained that in there we have an embedded plan if it if you I put the document in there it's 1,650 if you're an individual so I asked the question I'm like well 3300s are 3,000 is over that the key is we have an embedded plan and I'm explaining this too because people may
054watch it CU I had to get this explanation embedded plan means you have to have at least uh the RS says if you're going do an embedded has to be 1650 plus 1650 embedded is if you have a family or even a husband spouse or kids is a non-embedded plan says um all right Mr Ison you have your entire family down there and your deductible is 3,00 or ,650 your out of pocket max is 6,000 I may end up having to pay they actually switch it the full 6,000 I'd pay the full family deductible on one person are you guys foll me like basically it's that one if I'm the another person that got sick and had to go to the hospital it wasn't six I'd have to pay the full family deductive before they
055would kick in so um I understood why when they set this up which is before me when they set the Consortium in that meeting and they're like well hold on most of the time you know in a family only one person is going to do it so let's make it lower is so it's a $3,000 deductible and one person in surgery doesn't have to pay the full family um so that's why has to be there so USI uh Mr eging is like I feel terrible about it and all you know all the schools like well how am I going to go back and talk to our employees about it and they were like well only impacts like 30 people Consortium uh and I'm like that's only 30 people went over that 3,000 I said that's
056not what it impacts it impacts everyone who's got the plan and the fear that they make go for it and so and he understood that and so finally uh they brought this to us as far as their offer I didn't as I'm the president there I didn't even ask for it he uh kind of sent this as a text actually after I visited with the organizations that they want to pay for it this year this the game like you know what that's on us and so they're going to for any employee that would go over the 3,000 they're going to pay for it issue a thing so I asked them how long is that going to take they're like it may be 90 days that's a problem so they're going to frontload us the money
057they're actually going to use what they expected they're going to push out the money to all of us we'll have an account so that we have it here at the district and they get reports and I will uh work with our employees if somebody's having surgery or something that they will have their our people will have their money take care of what they need to uh and we work it out in the B so our people will be made whole um with this change which uh that was my number one concern Our concern and and explain that with the organization uh because as I share with them is appreciate the fact that we signed anou in January is a curveball like this can't um they're putting our their trust in us it's not the old
058hey just kidding things change uh the benefits of us having those mlus in place and teachers know what they're going to make uh impacts hiring impacts the budget and so this year we'll make sure that all of our uh people are taken care of and I'm going to be handling a lot of this personally uh working with Miss White and uh Miss Noak as well as Miss so um I don't necess there not there'll be some paperwork we got to work through for employees but their actual deductible won't go up the out of pocket max is not going any questions okay here youone all those in favor of approval oppos motion car all right Mr President yes sir I can make a motion like to make have a second all right we are
