001items. Sandy here. Nope. None of that. We're moving right on to our public hearing. Georgia. So, what we'll do at the end when we talk about executive session, we'll say the proposed acquisition sale. So the two things we'll just say that okay good evening. Um so tonight is when we officially demonstrate our budget. We've had a very um welcoming week of forums last week. Thank you to everyone who came to those forums. We were able to answer many questions. So, the public hearing, um, just for those of you who are not aware what a budget hearing, uh, forum is, actually allows us to present to the public and then allows the public to ask questions. It's a little different than the presentations that we've been doing um, over the last four or five months with
002the with the board of education. This actually allows for the uh, voters to be able to ask questions and for us to answer them here. So, since we do have a couple community members here, I wanted to make sure that they were aware that when we're done presenting, they can ask questions. Our budget overview um is very similar to what we've been presenting all year long. Um we are presenting a revenue budget of 160 million and we are presenting an expenditure budget of 160 million. In that budget, we include all the same projections and budget that we have for this current school year. But in addition to that, we have approximately $210,000 in staff restructuring. We have a $60,000 maintenance vehicle that we're looking to purchase. We are looking to increase some of our um
003high impact tutoring, especially at the middle school and high schools to help with graduation rates and we're looking to purchase a 66 passenger bus. Um that vehicle will replace one of our current diesel buses. Um and that is one of the propositions that we have before the voters on May 20th. The recommended budget is showing um the difference of last year's budget versus what we're looking to do for next uh for the 2526 school year. It's approximately a 3.1 u million dollar increase with a 2% overall increase. That budget is broken down into three parts which is our administrative program and capital uh budget. As you can see, we put a lot more of our money into our programming, and that was to help um ensure that one of our three pillars was being sufficed.
004We set out at the beginning of the school year saying that we um wanted to help students and that our focus was going to be student driven. And so, we made sure that as we built this budget that it was truly for our students. So, you'll see approximately 5.66% 66% uh of an increase there when we actually um decreased the administration and the capital cost for the 2526 school year. Overall the budget for administrative component is approximately 8 and a half% of our overall budget. This is a breakdown of what the different um accounts are such as board of education, the chief school administration which is the superintendent's office which includes not only her salary but also includes supplies in her office and her secretary. We also have um the audit and tax collection business
005office which is the department that I run currently as well as all of the pieces that go into that. We have our legal department um which is what we pay to our um different legal components um in our district attorneys. We have our human resource department in our public relations department. Uh we have our mailing and central data, our Boseies component which is specifically related to their capital piece. Um we have the instructional and supervision admin which is all of your administrators and your buildings and your directors. And then we have um professional development across the the board that is non-instructional related. And then um of course the benefits which includes any insuranceances, TRS, ERS and so forth. As you can see in a lot of those areas um when you look to the far
006right column, we have decreased um cost and expenses in most of those areas um for a $1.3 million decrease in our administration cost. Our program, again, no surprise, we are a student education facility, is approximately 79% of our overall budget. This is where we see all of our teaching, special education, all of our um occupational and alternative education purposes, our library counseling services, anything extracurricular related, which includes all of our athletic programs, um transportation, again, benefits for all of those different positions for teachers, and um a transfer to special aid, which includes the transfer for grants. So, with um and our um $100,000 capital outlay project. So, again, with all that being said, we are increasing um our program component by $6.8 million, showing that we really are trying to make sure that our students
007are receiving every um resource that we can provide to them. And our capital component is just over 12% of our overall budget. Um and this includes operations of every building that we own, the maintenance of those facilities, um different judgments and claims, which this year we don't have any and we did not have um for next year. We have refund of property. Uh we have the bus purchase which um went from 85,000 to the request of the 200,000 that we're looking at for next year. Um benefits again are for all of our bus drivers, um maintenance workers, custodial workers. Um our bonds and construction, you'll see that did decrease by about $2 million this uh going into next year. Um and that's because capital um projects have kind of dropped off um from 15 years
008ago. And then we have um our bond anticipation notes um that are already budgeted for and planned for for next year. Overall, we see approximately a $2.3 million decrease. Um, mostly due to the bonds and construction debt that fell off. We have our year-over-year comparison, which is no different than what we had provided earlier in the school year um when we were presenting. Again, it's a 2% increase overall. Um, when you look at every um code, payroll, equipment, contractual supplies, tuition, energy, boseies, benefits, debt, service, and transfer, most of these are contractual to some degree, and so there's not a lot of wiggle room in most of those areas. This is just another way to look at the same information to show how we were coming up with 160 million. We have our state aid
009revenue um and that has been broken down per uh foundation aid, boseis aid, high-cost aid, private access cost, hardware and technology, software, library and textbook, transportation aid, and building aid. Those numbers for the most part have all stayed the same, but the governor's run did come out um the middle of last week. And so the number under the foundation a date for the 2526 year has actually increased um to a little over 76 million um by 846,000. I did not include that in this because we did not recalculate our budget. Um we had moved forward with the approval at the 160 million. So that extra $846,000 um I would suggest to the superintendent that we look at uh purposely putting that into the capital reserve assuming that the voters approve that at the uh May
01020th vote. The real property taxes star reimbursement payment in lie of taxes are pilots miscellaneous revenue and appropriated fund balance has not changed. this stays the same um compared to what we had proposed and provided back in April. I wanted to provide a tax levy uh comparison for year-over-year. Specifically looking at last year versus this year, we had a 2.75% increase on the levy last year. We're um providing a 2.56% tax levy increase um going into next year. So the numbers have stayed pretty much the same. When you're looking at the rate per thousand, again, we're within 40 cents of what the tax increase was like last year. So, for most taxpayers, the difference that they felt in this year's tax impact on their um housing will stay pretty much the same, assuming that the
011equalization rates do not change significantly or their assessment rate on their home did not change. And this shows just a tax rate impact across the five townships that we currently have. And again, this is assuming that all equalization rates and assessments stay the same. I also wanted to show just some budget trends um because I think it's important for us to know where we've been so that we know kind of where we're going. Um right now we're just looking to next year, but I've been tasked with planning for the next five years and what that looks like. Um, as you can see, we have had approximately um, uh, I apologize because I forgot to change the one tax levy there. It says 75, but it's supposed to be 2.75, but we've stayed right around the
012two and a half to two and uh, 3/4% rate for the last 5 years. And I think that if we're staying in that realm, we will do very well over the next several years. um as long as we continue to maintain our expenses and make sure that we're being proactive in how we're we're spending money. Furthermore, the capital reserve that we put a proposition for out there will help to offset any tax impact to voters as we get ready to move into doing some of these larger projects over the next 5 years. So, as I had mentioned before, we have three propositions out there. One is for the tax levy increase of 2.56%. One is for the passen uh 66 passenger bus and one is for the capital reserve of $10 million. One of the
013questions that was asked to us while we did these forums is what did that really mean? So for those of you who are listening, the $10 million reserve is for um us to be able to put up to $10 million into it over a period of 10 years. It does not mean that this first year we have to put $10 million into it and it's not planned as such in our current budget. It allows if we have some extra funds um within our current budget that we can put in up to $10 million. This year we've had some finance committee discussions and we do plan that as long as this reserve is approved that we will have some funds that we can put into there and help to offset the 4% maximum that a school
014district is allowed to have. Then I just wanted to remind everyone where the polling locations are and that we are voting at the district on May 20th. Um it will be uh the polls are open from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. And are there any questions? The capital reserve that you were speaking of, that's where the 800 additional um foundation aid that we received, that's where it would go into. That's my proposal. the superintendent has to recommend that to the board, but that would be my recommendation. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Question. Is there any from the public? I just want to make sure since we do have some new faces here. Very good. Thank I think I want to size just just for the purpose of the community um because a lot of time when
015people see the components of the budget they usually think that the administrative cost is going up and I want to reemphasize again if we're really looking at the data when we talk about being student centered and people centered the programmatic services aspect of our budget focuses on exactly that. So again making sure that what we say we're going to do is exactly what we do. And so the administrative part of the budget, if people are paying attention, they'll see that there was significant reduction and in addition to the capital. And so we reroute some things. There are times throughout the year where we said, is this nice versus necessary? And it's okay, you know, in this district when a person retires or we have some attritions for us to pause and not just go automatically
016post and ask ourselves, is this necessary at this moment? And those are the type of conversation long term we have to engage in because if you're looking at if you're listening to the controller, if you see what's going on at the federal level, it is important that not only are we fiscally uh responsible to the taxpayers that we think about budgeting and financial impact of any decisions that are happening outside of us, that we think that from a long-term perspective. So, I want to give a shout out, thank you to Dr. Georgia Gonzalez, who's been working tirelessly this year um in looking at our budget from the time we started here in late July, early August, and and and to begin to piece a a whole um report for the next 3 to 5 years,
017including talking about capital improvement project, which we all know that is necessary at this point for us to be able to really open a new elementary school for our young learners. So, thank you again. Thank you to the the entire team that has helped put this together. Thank you to the board who also participated. We understand that the community forums were new this year and the board members traveled along with us because it's important that the public understand that is it is a board adopted budget. So it was important and you've heard from the board for those of you who had an opportunity and for those who didn't have it just know that this is not going to be a oneandone and that these community forums will continue every year. So, if you came, you
018enjoyed it, pass the baton on and tell somebody and bring somebody along with you next year when we advertise it. So, thank you to you and your team. All right, moving on to the superintendence report. Okay, I'm on a roll, so I might as well keep going, right? Um, well, thank you again. I just have a couple of announcements in terms of dates to keep in mind. So, as the district knows, we have been engaging in a strategic planning process since November. We have offered multiple ways for individuals to be able to contribute um in this process, whether it was via survey, focus groups, um community uh uh events and so on and so forth. So, this is the last time if you as a resident of the Rome City School District want to be
019a part of um helping us to craft what our educational system should look like moving forward. You have a chance to do that one more time. It is going to be this Saturday. We're going to call it a community design day. If you're a grandparent, if you're a business owner, if you own an organization in this district, if you're a parent, guardian, it is for you. You all are invited as long as you are a resident. So, it's going to take place at RFA. We're going to have breakfast for you. We're going to feed you lunch and all of that stuff. So, this is the last opportunity. So we inviting you, invite a friend, come with students cuz we want middle school and high schoolers still to have a voice. They were a part of
020that process. As a matter of fact, we open the strategic planning process with them really helping us to craft our mission, vision, and values uh uh value statements. So, community design day Saturday RFA beginning at 8:00 breakfast mangling a little bit and we will be starting at exactly 8:30. Now, just to remind you, we talked about the election. It is May 20th. Um, please exercise your right to vote. You know, one of the democracies what what I love about democracy is that we can exercise our right and it is uh we have that opportunity in America. So I would encourage you to do that. Go to your place of of voting depending on which ward you live in and we have advertised those and we will continue until May 20th. Tomorrow night you also get
021to meet the candidates right at Stra beginning at 6:30. We have two candidates vying for one board seat that will become available in the new year. So, if you would like to hear what the candidates have to say, you want to meet them before you take action tomorrow night, 6:30 p.m. at Stra. We will also be recording it. So, if you can't attend in person, we will be posting it on Wednesday. So, you have an opportunity to also hear from the candidates. Um, and then lastly, I know a lot of people have been wondering, is graduation happen? Yes, graduation is happening and the location will continue to be at stadium is going to be on Friday, June 27. And so, yes, that's where it's happening. And this concludes my report. [Music] Very much student board
022member report. So, junior prom went very, very well. And then senior ball, we start selling tickets next week. There are a lot of clubs and groups going on the end of the year field trips to celebrate all of the accompl accomplishments they made for their club. The Save a Life tour came to RFA for ball and prom and it went super well. And then next week, concert choir is going to Nisma Majors to get judged on three of their songs that they have been preparing. and you're getting very close. So, uh, moving on to our workshop capital improvement updates. So, while Jo is given, um, getting ready, I'll put some comments to it. Um, as the voters know or the resident of this district know, we working on multiple capital improvement projects. some that has
023started when we came um that are near completion, some that we just started about two weeks ago and some that will continue because we do need an elementary building. And in addition um we are also paying attention to other buildings that we have such as stadium support being able to make decisions longterm about what we want to do with that. So all of these projects are in our mind. Some we have plans for that we have started and others just know that they are on the list to do. Um everything is a priority but the first priority is making sure that our students and our staff have a an environment where they can teach and learn at the same time. So we want to kind of give the community an update of where we are
024projects that are finishing very close next month and those that we have started and those that we are planning right now for. So Georgia, I'll pass the baton to you. So, I do want to acknowledge our partners, fiscal adviserss LeBella and CNS. CNS um and Labella are both here tonight to help answer any additional questions that I may not be able to answer for you. We are currently in the middle of phase one. Um this was approved um back in 2020 and the completion is expected around August 2025. So with that um we're pretty close to finishing the fire alarm system replacement. Um we have pictures from the RFA fields um the softball fields, the tennis courts, and then um there's been some miscellaneous uh mechanical and plumbing replacements that we've been doing throughout this
025year. These are the fire alarms that we've replaced in Rome free academy. So these are the new systems that are currently up there. These are some additional um these are the big panels that are in the back office. I did have the opportunity to go around with our construction manager to look at these things as they were inputting them. So I do know that they were input. I do not know um how far we're finishing. And I think we're pretty close, 90% done. And these are the fields. Um, we have started putting in a lot of the gravel and a lot of the paper um the turf stuff will be in next month. Um, so, you know, they've been spending a lot of this winter trying to put in those blocks, but of course once
026it got too cold, you can't put those things in without, you know, possible frost, you know, causing issues. but they have been out there ever since the weather started to warm up and um the frost and and everything thawed out a little bit. So, um if you were to go down there right now, this is about what it looked like a week ago. So, we might be a little further than this, but by and large, we do expect to be able to play on the fields as soon as this fall. Is it softball and baseball? Yes. Softball, baseball, multi-purpose field in the outfield of the baseball and then uh tennis. While we've been working on phase one, we've also been working on putting together the plan for phase two. Luckily, um, last week on May
0275th, we were able to start some of the work with the, uh, the vestibules in the buildings. The first one that we are working on, um, it's a little difficult to see in the picture, but we've been working on, um, Denty in the actual space and then Roomfree Academy has had the roof replacement start. Um, so if you were to go to the main entrance, you will see right now there's a lot of construction going on. We've put a lot of parameters in place to help prevent any anyone getting hurt. um but making sure that we continue that work throughout the spring and that way when we get into the summer months we can uh we focus on some of the areas um in order for this timeline to work. We do expect that at
028the end of June we will move into a couple other buildings and then throughout the summer we'll keep moving along and end up finishing in three of our um other buildings so that we are filing final cost reports by December. So all the work for the 2022 project, both phase 1 and phase 2 are expected to be finished by the end of this school year or before the end of this calendar year. Um and just in case for those who are listening and not able to see the screen, we do have um mechanical equipment replacements as part of the phase 2. We have the indoor track uh resurfacing that is happening at um RFA and we have the roof replacement. Um due to the nature of the fact that we had a tornado um that
029happened happen during this period of time, we are also trying to get the roof replaced where that tornado damage happened at the same time. So they will have a new roof on approximately half of their building between where the tornado damage was and um the original plan of phase 2. And then we have the 2024 capital project which was approved and voted on last spring. The phase one is going to incre uh I'm sorry include um security upgrades across the entire district. We have several boilers and chiller replacements um at a couple of the facilities that we're planning on doing. And then we have a few items from our building condition survey that we want to include um as part of that scope one. That timeline um is that we will finish the SED submission
030by the end of next month. We will start bidding out in the winter. We're pushing for December, but we wanted to put winter just in case it moved into January. And then we plan to start the construction um between April and May of 2026, and that will go through October of 2027. Again, we will have final cost reports that will be ready um in December of 2027. We have our phase 2 or phase 1B RFA, which is our auditorium renovations. That will um include SED submission by October. and then we will go out um to bid in the beginning part of spring again around April with construction happening through the summer and into the fall of 2027. Our final cost reports will be due by December 2027 for that as well. We also have the
031cloth renovation. This was originally part of the um plan at approximately 13 or 14 million. We are working with a stakeholder group of curriculum maintenance um special education and a couple other um stakeholders to help build a schematic that will be for the entire building um to make sure that we have enough ENL rooms, make sure that we have enough classrooms, enough special education spaces, all of those things. We plan to be meeting um this month and next month on those things so that Labella can then begin moving forward with putting a schematic together that the district will approve sometime probably in July. That will go in front of the board of education. That way we make sure that we have all the stakeholders um approve it. Then we will look um to finish up
032the design development completion sometime in September. Um and we'll work with CNS at that time with the cost estimates to be able to provide some really good numbers. based on what the design was. In December, we will plan to move forward with a vote for the what we're considering a a phase two and a phase three. Um and then the phase one submission will go to SED right around February of 2026. Um because of the nature um of how long it takes an SED, we expect roughly 20 weeks. So, sometime between April and May, that will go on um to be approved for us and we'll bring that back and be able to start the bidding process sometime over the summer, no later than September or October of 2026. Um with that in mind, our
033um contractors then will require a few months to be able to start getting the materials and everything put together. So, by the fall of December 2026, um beginning of uh January 2027, we do expect that construction will start within the cluff space to move forward with a grade six um component here in this building. Um, we expect that by August of 2027, all of that work will be done and we will start moving all of our sixth graders into the building for September start date and then in December of 2027, we will do final cost reports. With that being said, we also have the phase two which depending on if the voters approve, we would be looking to use FEMA money to move fifth grade also into KLF. And then from there, we will have
034more conversations with the board of education and with community stakeholders to determine any other steps that we need to make at that time. Before I ask for questions, Craig Nate, do you have anything else you'd like to add? Okay. Does the board of education have any questions? I have one. So, with the um federal government, the up and downs that continue to go on, do we anticipate like the cost of building materials to escalate or we have really have no idea. Go ahead. Yes. Yes. Um we do um but as part of um the planning process for capital projects we include an escalation factor. So in the phase two and the phase three that Georgia referenced we included escalation factors to try and accommodate some of those cost and also present responsible cost right to
035the voters. Um, as the planning moves forward, the cost estimates are refined. Um, and we're trying to sort of real time capture uh what those costs are. So, yes, costs are going to go up. What they are, I don't know what the impact of them, um, the overall impact of them is, I don't know. Um, but it's something that we're monitoring and we and we try to account for. Do we at any point in time get concerned about availability of workers and people? The only reason I'm bringing it up, it was brought up recently every day. So, okay. So, obviously with the announcements here recently, right, there is going to be a ton of activity um locally that's going to be going on, right? And this doesn't include the stuff that's taking place next door
036uh right in Anadaga County as well. Um, so it's something that our team is consistently trying to monitor. Um, it's also when we're putting projects together and trying to bid them, um, you can't do all the work over summer, right? So, you saw in the um phase 2 schedule for 2022, right? A lot of that work finishes in in the fall and then some work starts in the fall and completes later in the school year. Um that's all part of the strategy to try and get bidders uh here, get contractors here and and find um areas where um or times when there may be less work going on. Mhm. Um some of the differences between our scopes and some of the the recent announcements, right, or that the contractors that are going to be involved
037there, right? So, um but even that, there's still plenty of work here locally. Um and it's a new challenge, right? Candidly, um we have projects out that are out on the street now where contractors are just saying no. Um that's a in the past contractors have had have said no and then you will still get biders. Um we are hearing loud and clear from contractors for work this summer they are no and it's a hard no and and they're not bidding anything. So it's a challenge um as we move forward. That's one of the challenges we'll just have to continue to to manage and and uh we'll keep the board updated on on how that's working out. I guess the only positive to all that is a lot of our students are actively going into
038our Boseies programs which are hitting all the trade skills. So, it's a great opportunity for students right now if you want to be involved in the trades, right? That there are real opportunities for um real highpaying careers um locally. It's locally um right here and and in the adjacent counties. So, absolutely. Okay. Any questions? I know we talked a little bit about the egress and we talked about the roads. Did we get any further with that or that's coming about that is still a work in progress. As a matter of fact, we have a meet an important meeting tomorrow um with individuals who are responsible for giving us an answer. So that's another thing that's on the table. Yeah. So still work in progress. Hasn't been forgotten. It will. Great. Thank you. Moving on to
039our consent agenda. Can I have a resolution to accept the consent agenda from page two to page Yeah. Yes. Eight. Okay. Moved by Kirsten. Second by Kelly. Any other discussion? All in favor? I.

046June 27th 2025 at 6 p.m. RFA graduation at the stadium. And just so the board is aware, we are going to have to have a special meeting in June. Um because the meeting that we currently have is the retirement dinner here. So we're going to have to set one up the following week. Okay. Okay. So currently in June June 17 or 18. So um same day of the week though. Yeah. The June 17 or the 18th. I can't remember what day it is. I think we had so Tuesday, Wednesday to get business done to get business done because of the fact that we had initially June 9th for our board meeting but because we are honoring as a board um the retirees and it's going to be a great night because we have many retirees
047hopefully all of them will RSVP for this retirement dinner from the board um and of course a little speech you know things like that um that's why we need to uh find another time for business. Do we have a board meeting after the tenure meeting as well or no? The Yes, the tenure the tenure reception is very short, sweet, to the point. We're going to start at 4:00 and we're going to start our board meeting at its regular time at 5:30. Yes. Okay. So, it's 4 and then 5:30. Correct. Cuz we have to approve the Yeah. the vote vote, right? Yeah. So, and this is the first time, right? again trying to establish some wonderful opportunities for the board to be able to acknowledge retirees and also those who are getting tenured so that tenure
048recognition will be done prior to the board meeting on the 21st. So will we decide the 17th or the 18th or the next day? 18th and let me know okay which day. All right. The 5:30 meeting is just for us to approve the vote or we No, we're having a board meeting putting it in it. Correct. Yeah. We had our regular scheduled May 21st meeting on that Wednesday. Done at the same time. Right. Correct. Okay. Yes. And just to remind the board that we have to do our end of the year superintendent evaluation um and so we have to log into the process this um super eval um will she send it to us first? Okay. So, right now the work to be done is to log into Super Evale and make sure you can
049get in. Um, because there's some concern that some people might not be able to. If you need your password reset, if you have any trouble getting in, just reach out to me and I can make sure we get that reset for you. So, at this point, we just want to make sure everyone can log in. Can you send me a link? Did you send a link already? Doing the midyear cuz remember mid year I got it. Yeah. you also had an opportunity because all of my updates I upload my stuff into it for midy year. So that's when she also sent you the information so you can check what I have done um and be able to and you guys had a discussion about it mid year. So now it's time to do this again
050because now I have to go back in to also add additional items um based on the super eval. That way you have an opportunity. What I'm going to try to do is get that done in May for you so that you have an opportunity to all have enough time to be able before June 30th to give me an end of the year evaluation because as we've told the public you know account felt accountability is going to be a thing for everyone and that includes me. So I'll be the first role model in it. You will give me feedback in terms of my leadership just like we will do the same for everybody else. And that's one of the reasons we are having a the meeting on the 17th or the 18th because we do have
051to do this for our superintendent before the current board then is dismantled. So okay [Applause] well few members are leaving so we certainly want all have that as we enter this you do that that we're going to add this additional item as we executive session so we're adding one additional item now uh to the agenda because we're having um an executive session at the end so um it is anticipated that there will be a motion to go into execut cutive session to discuss matters leading to the appointment, employment, promotion to motion, discipline, suspension, dismissal or removal of a particular person or corporation. And so I move the res No, this one is added. This one is what needs to be added. Oh, I'm sorry. Yep. That was on the agenda. I'm sorry. I apologize. The
052one we're adding to go into exe executive session is a proposed acquisition, sale, or lease of real property or of securities, but only when public publicity would substantially affect the value thereof. So I'm moved by Kirsten. Second by Kelly. All in favor? I. So we're going into executive session and this will be the end of the meeting. We will not come back into open session.
