001I like to call the to order the Dilley ISD Board of Trustees at 6:00. Uh everybody's here and nobody's absent. Uh no citizen participation. Uh I guess we're going to wait for somebody to lead the prayer. >> Sure. Dear Lord, thank you for this uh this day that you brought us together. Uh thank you for all your blessings, Lord, and thank you for this this community school district and all the folks in the area. God, we just ask tonight for your your guidance throughout the process tonight. May you give us wisdom, direction, and that you will let us follow and follow in your will. We also pray for our neighbors down in Central Texas Hill Country uh strength and comfort for them during this very difficult time. Also for the for the loss family in
002Missouri locally. We continue, Lord, to pray for comfort for the families and friends that are grieving. Uh we ask for your your spirit uh to help us through this time. We look to you as our source of strength and trust, dear Lord. >> Amen. >> I pledge allegiance >> to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Uh >> Everybody had a chance to review last month's minutes. And are there any additions or deletions to your knowledge? >> I didn't see any. >> Uh you want to go over the comparison budget? >> Well, I put some handouts because we didn't have the information. By the new law, the board of packet has to be mailed
003and posted on Wednesday before 4:00 a.m. so it really pushes it. So, uh uh it it it is a handout. Um it looks like we're doing really, really well. Like the day we're talking about uh budget amendments it you might change your mind on it a little bit, but but we are within budget everywhere. Everything's going just fine at the moment. That's what we we said that 2 months ago. >> And tax tax collections >> Tax collections is the last time we have we will collect we collected $48,208 in taxes. This is what I collected. Okay. >> Uh looking for an approval for consent agenda. >> I'll make a motion for the consent agenda. >> I'll second. >> Uh all for. Any against? >> I also sent in the zoom. I don't know. >> It's
004fantastic. >> It cheers you up on this. >> This will change your mind on what I just said. >> Um first thing I wanted to go over is budget amendment. Y'all will be voting on this at the end of the the meeting, but um as I get into the budget workshop, um I want to reference the uh budget amendment, so I want to go over it again. Um it uh if y'all have any um this is another thing we were working today to get everything um Uh first off, the state mandates are going to be increasing about 276,000. Um that's because of a uh uh we didn't have as many kids as we had budgeted for. We budgeted last year for about the same amount of uh students, and um we really dropped about 20
005kids this year, so that's the reason for that drop. And the fourth page of this uh budget amendment has tells you what what these individuals um I'm sorry. Uh uh transportation, we've added 59,000. Um that's for salaries and uh contracted services. Uh function 36, y'all have been a lot of work on the the weight room, uh air conditioning unit, putting in more equipment to flooring and uh, it's being charged. They're part of the infrastructure will be in 51, but actually in 81. So, uh, that that's the two places that are being charged for that innovation of the the waiting room. I'm taking 100,000 out of 51. Uh, we'll take the balance and uh, that total amount that you budgeted there, we instead we're going to put it in 81. And we're increasing that uh, 150.
006I don't think we'll use all 150, but uh, I wanted to have a little little cushion in there in case uh, something wrong. All total will be going in the fund balance if all this remains the same, we got 486,000 bucks. This this current year. I'm not real good with this. >> Well, I'm remembering that we had that insurance overrun that within this year, too. >> Yeah. >> Okay. That cost us. >> There's it's been a hard year for uh, for uh, finance. So, um, but and probably in in these there's a uh, probably extra money in there, but we probably won't end up with that then, but uh, but I'd rather have not have an audit uh, find me for not budgeting enough in those different accounts. So, that will be looked at later.
007Later today. Now for the budget workshop part, I uh, the first thing I wanted to show you uh was dealing with revenue. It's how we come up with the revenues that we're going to be budgeting uh next year. The first sheet that it looks something like this. It has uh three columns in it. This is kind of the data entry of the template where we put numbers in and it it'll generate the what our funding's going to be. You see it has three different days, the '23-'24 year, '24-'25, and '25-'26. Uh I've kept the same uh student counts uh in '25-'26 that we have in '24-'25. That top number that's the refined ADA that y'all have. And below that are the special populations uh uh numbers. And they're funded uh by different weights. And you
008get more money for these down here and especially the CTE money. And so we have to keep track of uh who is in CTE classes, what kind of CTE classes, stuff like that. And all that is taken out of all of the things that we report. And we get the all the student data. Now, second page at the very top is the the PEIMS bags. Those come from the comptroller. But we don't have PEIMS bags for uh the 20 for this coming year. So, we have to calculate those. If we want to have a clean budget. So, what what I do, I compare the last year's net taxable value to this year's net taxable value. And uh the property values increased 16% this year. So, I've increased the PT value uh 16%. Now, these are
009preliminary numbers, but certified numbers are supposed to be coming out. Uh she said they would come out either Tuesday or Wednesday, probably. >> When is she saying the 25th or the 24th? >> The 25th is when they have to come out. But, uh hopefully they'll be here in the next couple days and all this will be recalculated. But, but as for right now, it's kind of like standing. So, uh once we get those uh certified values, then we have to give those to TDA. TDA will calculate our uh MCR rate. The maximum compressed rate. And I have it calculated at 0.5689. And that's probably what it will be, but we have to wait until TDA tells us what that rate is going to be. And overall, next year, I think we'll have a tax rate
010of 0.6813. Which is about from 0.7293 uh for this this year. And I think I've would recommend that we keep the I&S tax rate uh same same rate. >> Remembering that we'll pay our debt off this coming spring. >> Yeah. And that's uh about it on the the revenue side. The uh the next sheet I have here there kind of sums up the revenues for this current year that we're finishing up. It It says 24-25 summary finances and it lists where all the money comes from. The different TEA funds regular program allotment, midsize allotment and then we get a bunch of program intent codes amounts that we have received. And when we're budgeting we have to make sure we're spending the money appro- like TEA wants us to or we'll have to answer to TEA.
011They'll slap our hand and say you didn't do a better job and we'll say, "Okay, we will." But uh that this is kind of a summary of uh our enrollment for the the year that's just ended. And the bottom line is that we on the state and local money we got 8,000,000 557. And that's that number probably won't change a whole lot. But those numbers are pretty pretty good. Uh the next one is the 25-26 summary finances. And this is the what we're going to be looking at next year's budget. Um I'm working off the same uh refined ADA that we ended up this year with. And House Bill 2 uh changed the funding quite a bit. We have uh picture of retention allotment We have a We have to give the teachers some of
012them $8,000 raises and some $4,000 raises and some no raises. Yeah. The uh overall, it the bottom line is 9 million which is about $841,000 increase. But, the aid is double where we have to spend most of the money and mostly on teachers. Teacher pay. a little bit in there for uh your support staff. I think 33,000 which is just a not very much for for 57 people that uh we have support staff. But, we we've gone through that uh Yeah. Salary compensation plan and added the the teachers and and all of that. So, that comes down to this last sheet where I have compared the the this year's budget if you all approve the budget next to the the first column there. You see uh the bottom line is negative 486,000. And the the
013column on the right hand side is uh the proposed budget. And you'll see our uh local program local revenues are going to go up. State revenue is going to go up. Our federal federal money uh I don't think we're getting short money this year. So, we dropped that to zero. Um On our taxes, our the tax rate will be going down, but the values are going up, so we'll probably be collecting more taxes. Uh even though the rates are going down, the values are going up. If the preliminary values hold, if the certified values are the same, preliminary values hold. And so, on expenditures down here, the middle column shows the changes. Uh function uh 11, instruction, that's where it's all the teacher raises are, that uh $366,000. And then we have We don't have
014a whole lot of differences until we get down to 31, that's a counselor. And we added a counselor at the elementary. Uh down on uh function 51, adding 152 uh back, that that uh I reduced that uh the current column by 1,000, and and uh 100,000 of that is 152 was that putting that 1,000 back in here. Um And then on 181, I'm taking that 150 back out of 81. And then on 93, the our needs to the special aid total has gone up about $85,000 this year. Get them below there. Um I've got some transferring out to Head Start. Head Start feels the same as they're going to fund this. And they say they I I don't think we'll have to transfer that, too. I think Head Start can handle paying that, but uh
015that's the answer right now. Uh Head Start's also they're having a a funding problem, so >> Their their funds are frozen right now. >> Yeah. And they don't know whether they're going to get get money or not either, so I wanted to go go ahead and put that in. Uh food service uh uh budget didn't advance for us a little more this year to food service. Uh bottom line right now uh we'll be going into a fund balance of 224,000 if we approve this budget. And things don't change. Um the second page is uh the cafeteria. Um We just got I've got modest changes in revenues and expenditures, both. There. And the last page is the the bond and payment. And it's about the same as uh uh last year, but there'll be one more
016bond payment after this. I think it'll be for 35,000. So, I think if we keep the tax rate at uh what it what it was, we'll have enough that we won't even have a fund this tax rate uh next year. I think we can do I've I've gone into by using up the fund balance that was in the IRS so there wouldn't be anything left over or very little. This budget will go into fund balance at $24,000. And I think fund balance as of right now with everything is about $500,000. Are there any questions on any of that? >> And so we'll need to have a meeting August the 4th to propose the tax rate the budget and the tax rate. Before then Mr. Thompson will have firm numbers for us to to look at.
017Okay. But if you haven't had that meeting to propose it and then you have to run in the newspaper for 2 weeks and then we'll have our next August meeting will be on the 25th of August which is the last Monday in August. >> And hopefully we'll have another budget amendment ready at that time and >> Hopefully we'll have one in September. >> If you have one. >> So it looks like for this new year you're going to be collecting about $200,000 over what you did last year. So where exactly is that going? I think we're talking about about $200,000 for labor and whatever but that's coming out of our current budget. Is that is that that $150 that you put back in. >> So, we we have 200,000 in 81 and 200,000 in 51
018for capital projects and improvements. >> So, just giving it an extra cushion around $200,000. >> Yes. >> Okay. And that 318,465, that's what you're going to potentially collect in INS. That's not exactly that dollar amount. I guess you got some extra funds somewhere to cover that. You were saying I thought you were saying you're trying to be efficient so we didn't have to um collect the things here. Okay. So, that's our interest service. We're going to pay this 150 your payoff amount this year. Which you collected about 100,000 less. >> Mhm. Yep. >> So, you have some >> Yep. >> in the >> We uh there's uh ADA payments that come from King and Gay that will >> They'll offset >> So, uh yeah, so Yeah, that's So, there's two different uh calculations to make
019on how much payment Uh I'm not sure how much the ADA it calculates. I think it's about 62,000 in there. Uh that changes every time uh 10 bucks comes out of there. And sometimes it's not good. King and Gay's payments are not the same every year. But, this calculator That that's that's that. >> And if you have any questions later, you don't have to just ask tonight. If there's something you need to know, you can call me or call Mr. Thompson. >> Uh we'd like that. >> So, >> I'm treating that. >> If something comes up that you have and you want to know about it. >> Any any other questions? >> And we'll get you on the road. >> All right. I appreciate >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. First we're going
020back to 6.1, budget workshop. >> I thought that would be it. >> I think we're done. Okay. I guess we're at 6.2. Uh capital reports. >> Well, we don't have any tonight. Um Mr. Miller was out of town. Lois is tied up with some some business for her school. And I just took over her duties for the day. She didn't have to come by herself, so we don't have any And and um Brennan is at Country Camp. >> Country Camp. >> Yes. >> Uh facility updates. >> Well, our summer projects are just about wound up. Uh the restrooms at the elementary school are coming together. The plumbing upgrade at the old gym is finished. And uh irrigation at the elementary is finished. Uh we really not needed it this year. That's so funny. I guess
021that's why we didn't tonight use it. Um the the room for our daycare at the middle school is is the floors are down. Heading to build. Uh we're ready to start building again. And so um the parking area on the concrete, if you had the pleasure of driving down the concrete, it has changed the whole look of that street. It looks wonderful. Um even our testing and accreditation Um it is Yeah. Uh the stadium scoreboard is a work of art. I just think it's It is beautiful. Uh I looked at it before they put it up. And I'm telling you, even up close and personal, it is just beautiful. Our guys did such a good job on it. Uh and it literally is maroon. It's not pink anymore. And I think that's a really good
022thing. Um had lots of cleaning and preparation. Everything seems to be going very, very, very well. And after the new year, we don't have a faculty department, but we're just working full staff here all the time. >> 6.5 is there any change? >> There is There is change and my ones go into a baby session in 15 minutes to talk about that. >> I'll schedule you a time. 6.6 discuss start dates. >> I just wanted to share this with you. I think I may have already sent it to you, but I just wanted to in the board packet I I just I'm so proud of the work that our teachers and principals have done. Um if you if you look at this, you just see how how well we're doing because in every single area
023we outscored the region, we outscored the state. If you wonder about domain one average, why but I was always taught in school that you can't average But they do. They EOY average the data. So they average and that's what the 75% over in domain one for us as opposed to 45 for the region and 49 for the state. We still beat them, but they took the 94, the 81, and the 51s averaged together and Well, I don't think it's correct, but that's the way they do it. But anyway, we we just look really, really, really good and I truly believe that the best is yet to come. I think that our teachers are focused and doing what's good for our students. I would tell you that one of the one of our goals is to
024over here with the green column where it says masters grade level uh that means that they're performing above grade level. And if you look you just you just look at the first one, grade three, 51% of our kids were above grade level at the state level it was 22% and the region was 70%. So, I just think we need to celebrate what our teachers do day in and day out and and we are because of what the state has done, our teachers are all going to get a $4,000 or an $8,000 raise. Um and it's well deserved. Um one of these days I'll tell you that probably their insurance is going to go up about that much too, but but uh but that's not on the agenda for tonight. But anyway, I just wanted you
025to have have this in your hands so that you could really see it and know what we have to celebrate. So, that's it. I'm I'm training. I will I I have some things on my desk. Let's get budget done, tech design, everything and I'll get someone to come in and do some training for us so that you don't have to go out of town. Uh I'll I'll call our attorney and she'd be glad to come and give us some training and make it easier for you. So, just give me some time. Okay. Well, it I you're all busy and so I'm working on it. Just wanted to take up the donations. >> For the consideration of gifts >> We only had one this month. But it was a a thousand dollar donation from the class
026of 1978. I know that I asked you to approve that. I'll make a motion. >> Second. >> Terry? >> Motion by Terry. Terry second by Terry. All four. Passes 7-0. Uh Consideration of resolution for extra curricular status for 4-H organization. >> I come here every year for this. We're very fortunate to have a very active 4-H program. Uh this is so that when they uh take students out of school to go to competitions or uh conferences or whatever, they would come to the teacher and that student would come in to present and not penalized for an absence. So, I would ask you to approve that. >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Resolution for extra curricular status for 4-H. >> Second. >> Motion by Terry, second by Terry. All four. Passes 7-0. Uh Update
027on 125. >> This is a policy update 125. I I've read it. We got We've talked about it in our principal's and our administrative meeting. Uh I've underlined in red things that jumped out at me. There's really nothing real um earth-shattering in it. But, just what? >> Because this is not the result of the the recent legislative session. The next one will be a little bit better, I promise you. >> But, for some reason, it copied red on the first page and it copied black on the other pages. Either I have got an erratic secretary using a black pen or this copy machine was out of ink. I don't know. I'm not sure which. But, there's nothing in here that we haven't discussed as administrators and we feel comfortable that everything is being done. Okay.
028And then in the past, you had to you had to put this on twice. The law's changed so that you can do it all at one time and then you're good. >> Sometimes you come up with decisions like that on your >> I'll make the motion to approve. >> I think I'm going to abstain. >> I'll second. Motion by Carrie to approve, approved and seconded by Josh. All for? Passed 7 to 0. Uh okay. Now we're to the budget. >> I'll make the motion to approve. This is the one Mr. Thompson talked about earlier. Um I truly always wish it was not so, but uh one of the reasons we save money and one of the reasons we've been very fortunate in the past to amass a really nice fund balance so that when we
029have things like this, we can give them to people and take money out. So, uh I would ask you to approve this. >> I'll make a motion to adjourn. >> Do you need to discuss? >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Is there a second? >> I'll second the motion. >> Carried and seconded. All in favor, say "Aye." Motion by Carrie, seconded by Terrell, seconded by Carrie. Joe 4, Paul 4. Okay. That's 7 to 0. I make a motion to excuse nothing on the personnel >> There is nothing on the personnel, but um I do think we need to go into executive session to talk about property for just a minute. Is that okay? >> Okay. >> And now you can make the motion if somebody else hasn't yet. >> I'll make a motion
030to go into executive session. >> Okay. Second that. >> All right. All right. 6:30 to 2. That's enough. >> Yes, that would be good. Motion by Terrell. I'll second. Is there anyone else who needs to talk? >> No. >> I'll second that in a minute. >> Okay. >> I'll second that. >> Is there anyone else who needs to talk? >> No. >> Can I switch you to turn the camera off?
