Well, I am happy to continue what we've started in our last work session And we have some of our young people here who are already enjoying their summer break But we have brought them here because they are some of our scholarship winners. And so I'm going to start with this Whitney Center bar principal of Monroe Elementary who's going to introduce you
003to some of the Mustangs who are our winners this year Parents and families if you would like to take some pictures Please feel free to bring your cameras and stand right here behind any of the board members or dr Anderson we have a great view and we want you to be able to see your your stars Faces and take pictures. So come on back. Don't be shy. We have the best seat in the house All right. Hi. Good evening This is Brie Lynn Reese and Mauro Ramirez and they are our scholarship winners from Monroe So the way that we do our scholarship at Monroe is that the students actually help to pick the winners So we did it I've done it a few different ways at Monroe in the past But we switched to having
004the students pick from their peers and it's been going really well So the students have to decide on a Fellow classmate that is a model Mustang. They are showing leadership. They are kind. They're always looking out for others They're just a great friend and an overall fantastic person. So these are our two winners They are both from Miss Mitchell's fifth grade class and we are so proud of them So what I'm gonna do is share what some of their classmates said about them, so we'll start with Maro I believe Maro deserves this award because he always stays determined and respects himself an Example is when Maro is solving a math page in fourth grade and it was so tough that he was able to solve it So then he moved on to fifth grade and
005sixth grade and kept moving up Another student said that they chose Maro because he's always on task and respectful. He's kind and responsible He shows respect to others and he helps others learn Maro shows others websites or things that they're supposed to be on He's always kind and he's really good at math Another student said that I believe that Maro deserves the scholarship because he is very smart and funny One time Maro was playing Super Mario 64 on his computer and he was making silly Mario noises while wearing a Mario hat and I thought that was super funny He is also very smart because I asked him what he got on his test three times and all three times He got a hundred percent Another student said that Maro is very kind and generous and
006Another student said I think Maro should be nominated for the school the school scholarship because he is kind and works hard He is very intelligent and he cares about learning in class He always participates and he tries his hardest to find answers to problems Maro is so kind He's always willing to help other people when they are struggling. Let's give Maro a round of applause And our next winner is Brie Lynn Reese, so here are some things that her classmates said about her Brie Lynn is very nice and she helps people out when they need it and she is so funny Brie Lynn should have the fifth grade scholarship because she is kind and helpful Brie Lynn is helpful because when we were taking or when we were walking to media I forgot my Chromebook
007and she got my Chromebook for me. So I didn't have to Another example is when I had trouble finding the paper around my box for the volume Zoo She was able to fold it for me Another student said Brie is kind and helpful She was kind when I was upset and Brie Lynn asked me what was wrong and I told her nothing, but she knew something was wrong So she was helpful when in fifth grade She would tell Miss Mitchell and the whole class would help to clean the classroom up and even if she was tired She always wanted to help Another student said that they picked Brie Lynn to win because she is kind welcoming caring and respectful Another friend had a volume Zoo story. So we'll tell that one Brie Lynn is welcoming
008and caring because during the volume Zoo my group was being rude to me and they left me out of the group Since Brie saw I had nobody to work with Brie Lynn invited me to her group and that made me very happy Why I put her is that she's very kind because whenever people are sad She can put smiles on their face in the blink of an eye and yesterday when I had nobody to hang out with Brie said Do you want to come over and be with us and the next thing I knew I had a bunch of new people Hanging out with me. So yeah, that's why I picked her And those are our winners from Monroe, thank you. Thank you Next I'm gonna bite up miss Lipinski who is going to Tell
009us about some of our Jefferson Jaguars who also received some honors at the end of the school year this year I freaked him out and told him they had to give a speech. So there's We at Jefferson also do a student voted on scholarship Ours is named after George Schoenfeld who was a teacher at Jefferson and it's called the respect scholarship When the students are given their instructions to vote they're told don't just vote for your best friend Don't just vote for your best friend your best friend may be great But you also have to have a reason and one of the things that we talked to him about at our school We use we have a motto at our school that Jaguars roar with kindness this year We talked about and the roar stands
010for being responsible on task attentive and respectful. So if that's referred to anywhere That's why those words keep coming up because the kids know that so I'm gonna read them the way I did When we presented them on the last day of school, so I don't give their name until the very end I'm gonna start with our young lady here. She is helpful and kind. I picked her because she is kind and sweet and awesome I chose her because she is nice to me and kind and she will be a great one She is kind to her teachers. I agree. She was in my homeroom and will always be kind to her friends I think she deserves a scholarship because she's very kind and respectful and she does her work on time and arrives on
011time Thank goodness because she was one of our first safety Captains or service squad captains at our school and she had a fantastic job She's kind to people and is a good person in all honesty. She is smart kind nice funny and responsible So great in math and super nice great in the classroom. I picked her because she is kind respectful and helpful She is smart always kind and she is hard-working She is always kind respectful a great student smart and whenever I'm upset She always tried to make me laugh and smile ladies and gentlemen, Miss Layla Perry Now my young gentleman I think he should get the scholarship because he is very respectful and always on time and he gets his work done on time Also, one of my service squad members who worked
012with the kindergarten and the kindergarten teachers threatened me when I asked if I could move him One time when I was sad he helped me I Chose him because he is so kind to me all the time. He and every time he bumps into me. He says sorry He's so kind. He should be the one I Picked him because he is kind fun to hang out with and he is smart He is hard-working smart and always has an upbeat attitude. Yes. He does again in my homeroom So he has been my friend since first grade and me and him have never argued and he almost always helps me up when I Get hurt in football and he is very respectful and responsible He is a kind and great student when I see him. He is
013always doing the right thing He is always doing our roar I think he should get the scholarship because he is showing his roar everywhere even outside of school and always is kind to others He has always been a good example. And when I was in third grade, he would always try to include me in things He is so kind and caring and respectful. He's never in fights and cares about everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, mr. Jack Spangler Now I'd like to invite up mr. And mrs Rickowski from Wilson Middle School who are going to introduce you to some of our warriors who have received some honors recently Good evening. It is such a delight to be here this to Recognize two awesome students that we have at Wilson that won our elder friend scholarship award Before
014we tell you wonderful things about these two we would like to let you know Why this award was created? The elder friend scholarship award was created in 1989 by the staff and administration at Wilson Middle School to honor long-time principal mr. Al Fran Mr. DeFran was deeply respected and admired for his strong leadership and high Expectations not just for others but for himself He believed in treating everyone with respect and expected students to do the same both towards staff and their peers The award recognizes his legacy while also celebrating two eighth grade students who demonstrate exceptional leadership Academic excellence and live out the values of the warrior way each recipient receives a $500 scholarship a trophy and their name engraved on the Wilson honor plaque The selection process is a thoughtful one staff members vote
015twice first to narrow the pool down to the top five girls in the top five boys and Then again to choose one male and one female recipient. This is not an easy decision Our staff takes it seriously and considers many qualities such as extracurricular involvement school spirit Academic excellence and overall character. I'm gonna give the mic over to mr. Ritkowski to talk about Lily Lily has worked so hard these last three years to be an exemplary student in a role model tall She has continuously made a conscious effort to be the best person she can be every single day There have been times when Lily could have followed the crowd which is easy to do in middle school But instead chose to rise above and do the right thing We are so incredibly proud of
016her and admire her integrity Lily is a young lady who does the right thing even when no one is watching Lily was a web leader and a peer mentor She also participated in cross-country and track Congratulations, Lily. This is well-deserved and if I can just add it something Lily is Always smiling it is completely infectious and I'm sure there have been days when Lily has not been having the best day But when you see her in the hall, you would never know it and when she smiles at you You can't help but smile back and be in a great mood. So Lily, this is well deserved I did not have the pleasure of working with Lily, but I did have the pleasure of working with Jacoby this year And I'm really gonna try to keep
017this as short as possible Jacoby is a model student in every way possible Jacoby leads with the example he sets for others His calm and kind manner has made him a well-liked and respected member of the eighth grade class Along with being an exceptional student all three years of middle school Jacoby has also stayed very involved He's been a member of the band baseball team Broadcasting program and a web leader Jacoby is able to work well with others and shows flexibility when faced with challenging tasks or projects He has made community partnerships Community partnership projects with the Michigan cookie project a non-profit that helps adults with disabilities and also wind up nutrition We look forward to seeing all the great things he will accomplish in high school We know what this amazing amazing leadership skills.
018He'll make a big impact no matter what he chooses to do Thank you and congratulations to all of our winners Any board comments All right, so I do have a little bad news and a little good news So the bad news is is that these are normally on school nights and I usually let people go Good news is it's summer so you can stay and watch the budget presentation It's only about an hour. That's other good news Actually, no you are you are able to dismiss We'll take a short little break if you'd like to exit out It has been a record heat wave for June and there is an ice cream store right around the corner So might be a good time to to check it out. So we thank you guys for coming
019and thank you for coming on your break I hope you're all having a safe and enjoyable summer and We will see you guys officially again in the fall, so you'd like to exit now you can Or you can stay and watch the budget They're running now, yes Not riveting It's not riveting We'll just let just take a minute to Audience kind of file out Rates so at this time we have the 2024 25 and 25 26 budgets hearing director of finance Brandi Nusser will present the summary of 24 25 final budget amendment and discuss the 25 26 budget and then During we will also immediately following that have hearing of the public So all persons who desire to be heard should be given the opportunity to speak on these two budgets and then on any
020other Agenda items or concerns after that I like to take away, please. Excuse my speaking voice. I don't have much of one but so Do we have a presentation? Yeah, there it is. So again just the 24 25 final budget the 25 26 original budget and also our tax levy hearing This is required to to be voted on and passed by June 30th of every year next slide, please So this is just our agenda. We're going to go over the budget overview Look at our local revenue and property tax sources 2025 tax levy revenues expenditures and some fun historical data So the budget overview so our our budgets consist of many different funds Our general fund is that's our biggest fund that we have that's where most of our operating expenditures come out of That
021is what our fund balances that we watch and that I'm sorry, and that also includes our federal funds as well like our grants and things We also have our debt service fund and that is we collect debt for our tax levy and then we pay it out For our bonds its principal and interest on that. We also have special revenue funds. We've act 18, which is our largest It's our TLC Joe Brighton and Madison It's our center programs and those are funded by the county and then we also have our cafeteria fund Mostly federal funds and then we have our school activity funds which are held at the buildings and those are for things That they raise money for and then they spend those funds We also have capital project funds that include a building
022and site fund and a sinking fund Okay So our local property taxes we have several sources We have our non homestead, which is our businesses and commercial vacation homes rental properties Does not include primary residences. So these all pay 18 mills it is used for general fund operating purposes The current levy expires December of 2025 But if you recall we took that to vote in November and we renewed that and that new one expires December of 2035 We also the state education tax, which is six mills This is paid by residences and then we have our sinking fund The voters approved 1.75 mills in March of 2020 this expires December of 2029 the debt fund is I'm sorry. It was renewed. It was passed in February of 2015 And that is three and a half
023mills So the next slide kind of shows a summary of how our taxes like where we're receiving them from So the six mills that residents pay Those go up to the state and then are distributed that's the six mills and then the 18 mills is Our operating debt three and a half and then our sinking actually gets reduced by head lays So even though I said it was one point seven five that we passed We actually only get to levy one point six seven that number gets reduced slightly every year Our taxes are spread fifty percent winter and fifty percent summer Some key assumptions for revenue that was used for 24 25 This was based on a blended student count of four thousand two hundred and fifty seven This is ninety percent funded from our
024state are from our state counts from fall of 24 And it also has ten percent of our spring of 24 So it's actually from our prior school year The state of Michigan has not approved our budget for 25 26. However, we made a budget assumption that we're assuming a 392 dollar increase per child That would bring us to ten thousand dollars of state aid for comparison purposes We received a zero percent increase last year and four hundred and fifty eight the year before We also have a recent enhancement millage this is Levied and through the fall of 2028 unless it's renewed This results in approximately one point seven million and is mostly used for enhancement of technology Okay, and this is just kind of a summary of our revenues and this is kind of the
025progression of the year all rolled up into Just the categories of local state federal and not incoming transfers So you can see the 23 24 audited number and then it progresses to the original budget the final budget I'm sorry the first revision and then the final revision and then the proposed original Next slide is key assumptions for expenditures This is based on our current 24 25 contractual obligations these account for approximately 80% of our budget The expenditures for 25 26 are carried forward and this again just shows the progression of our 2324 audited the original for 24 25 the first revision the final and then our proposed original This is our revenues all rolled up into one if you recall I said our general fund also houses our federal funds So these numbers are added
026into here to show what our fund balance will be So we're projecting a fund balance of 7.8 million. This is approximately 12 and a half percent if we use board policy, which is using prior year expenditures If we were to use the state way to do it, which would be the current year revenues, it would be 12.3. So they're very similar 25 26 with our best guess as of right now, we're looking at 6.7 million This would be approximately a 10.7 percent fund balance. However, there's a lot of work to do And we still don't have numbers from the state yet So this is based on the assumption of a 50 child loss or 50 FTE loss a $10,000 foundation allowance and a carry forward of 24 25 expenditures and then we just have a
027little bit of historical data Next slide Thank you So revenue trends this just kind of shows how our revenue is is Like how it's split up if you notice the green is the most that is our state funding So that's not only our state aid foundation allowance, but our categoricals as well One of the big increases you'll see is our retirement fund One of the big increases you'll see is our retirement So the state will give us money for retirement that we have to count as income And then it also counts as an expense as well when we pay it back The expenditure trends are the next slide The big expenditures that you see Our instruction those are in the top color. It's like a greenish color and then the second one down are Instructions
028of added needs so those are like special education and vocad And the next slide is enrollment trends you can see how the enrollment has has gone over the past several years This one actually shows current year data just because our our student counts have to be into the state in order to calculate our state aid So these are a little more current and then the last slide is our fund balance There we go Historical fund balance you'll see the baseline is 10 percent. That's the blue line And you can see where it kind of peaked a little bit during covid Maybe slightly after right because we had all those funds coming in And that's kind of like the covid peak right there And that is based on it's not quite what we use for our
029board policy That is the current year fund balance divided by current year revenues Our board policy is divided by current year. I'm sorry prior year expenditures And so that's all I have Okay board members questions or comments. Sorry. I'm really struggling to speak You did well, thank you questions or comments for brandy No No questions We covered this at somewhat at our work session on the 10th We also had work session today where we had more time to look it over and and be clear Anything you want to bring up now? Because this is kind of just just open discussion. No, no, everybody's good. Yeah I guess just make the the community aware that a lot of this is On made on the basis that we don't have Concrete information from the state as far
030as what funding we're going to get that's correct And usually we we don't always have anything concrete, but we do have a good idea of where we kind of sit And this year is a little bit unusual that we don't That we don't have you know But we did the best with what we could so Thank you for all this Thank you We appreciate the work and please extend that to your office as well I know it's a busy time of year for you closing out one and then projecting the next one appreciate it.
