Thank you. >> We will move to our administrators and superintendent our student representative. Is that correct? Yes. Please bring this. >> Hi. So we have a walker on the school in the past within the past month. Um we started the high school at the high school and our girls cross country team went undefeated this season to make sure the boys and girls cross country have a very successful season. Last weekend was our homecoming games and our football team will be out of tomorrow. Um, tomorrow is also a first day club. So, everybody's very
007excited to get back into their clubs. And then we had a successful open house last week as well. And then yesterday as well was our college fair and career fair with we had a very successful turnout with a bunch of schools including some jobs around the community and military. And then yes, she was also at Russian Olympics where the Russian came out and played games and did different events to compete and they come out with the top of the winner and they went into the short world and then in the middle school on Tuesday they had their hello house they which they had an excellent turnout. This week, the students and faculty are working on a positive behavior program activity. The program is a schoolwide effort is a schoolwide effort to help promote showing kindness,
008hard work, and staying positive in everything they do. Tomorrow, students will be creating 5:00 images that relate to their mission during their activity period. And that how prime is the the students have been working very hard and showing amazing dedication during their school during their schools. Their annual fundraiser was very successful as well. They had two very successful open house nights and have over 90% of their families. The elementary schools are also looking forward to several events including the primary chunk retreat on October 28th, the Biz with Bash meeting under the lights and harvest parties. That's it. >> Thank you. >> And I think we have Mr. Ford uh this evening as well for a high school update. >> Good evening everyone. A couple more repeats that Brandon page is extremely extensive in our report.
009Um just wanted to pass a few things for the high school. It's hard to believe that we're already in the second week of October. Um a ton of things have happened. Uh the school year is just flying flying by. Um in the spring last year, the district made an investment in blanket. Um, and I believe in my presentation last year, we talked about getting back to business data with CDTS and really focusing on making data driven decisions. Um, with the Lincoln warehouse that we utilize, uh, the high school's pretty much all the way. I can say with 100% that every teacher in the high school has been in Lincoln numerous times. Uh, myself, Mr. Mackin, we have monthly data per department. we can bounce around focusing with our tested subjects with math, science and English
010but social studies department every department is working some facet of data um at at the high school. Um if one thing we have decided to change and I know it's pushing middle schools doing the same. Um we are switching to PE's Firefly for benchmark at the high school. Um it is more of knowing where the kid is right now as they wait for the keystones. CBT is more grade level. But I think for our level it's going to be perfect because when they take it coming up my first teach in here I think in a week and a half they will know if they're really really ready if they're kind of ready or they're not even in the ballpark yet for the keystone exam. So we're going to utilize that and the nice thing once
011we take these firefly assessments eventually that our gets into the Lincoln warehouse and we can start to compare. So definitely that that advice that um it's it's a great uh thing that I'd like to recognize Ashley in our art department. Um the last couple years she has applied for a fullbrite uh for the fullbrite award and at the beginning this school year I got a great email along with Dr. Bernat that she was accepted and she received it. Um it's going to be great accolades for the district to have a teacher uh in this role. Um it's offered by the US Department of State and fullbrite Ford scholarship award. She the grant is she gets to participate as a student for an entire year and at some point Dr. I spoke today I don't know
012what it is. She gets the opportunity to teach abroad somewhere. Um she is working as we plan this out. She's going to kind of get it all throughout the summer. She won't be spending time with us. It's going to be an opportunity for her to teach abroad uh represent black someone. So congratulations. Um we had a student uh become a recognized commended student for the national uh merit scholarship program which in thousands and thousands and thousands of students nationwide. Uh the past couple years we had a student become a finalist. We've had a lot of commended semi. Mr. Brian wanted a senior. I have the privilege of presenting with his certificate uh for being a commended student in the national uh scholarship program. So, wanted to recognize him. Um I spoke about these uh a
013couple board meetings ago. These were the college board awards. Um they're all in the picture. If you see Morgan Alexander was the recipient of the first generation award and then everybody else in the picture, they won multiple awards. um in some surrounding districts, there were a few students here, a few students there, but we had 10 students that got recognized in college board because of their PSAT test um and their GPA. So, I wanted to recognize them. They did a little on the website right after that. Make you guys aware of that as well. Um Paige mentioned we had a great uh homecoming dance last Friday. Uh 523 students walked through the front door out of 527 tickets sold really four folks and illness pretty awesome. Um very busy uh probably the most dancing I've
014ever seen in a black dance. DJ should be commended because it was awesome in the gym. Um we have recognized our homecoming court and I want to congratulate our homecoming king queen. Mr. Kelly was up here and Miss Grace Houston was our homecoming queen. So great week of activities. Uh throughout the week teachers participated, students participated and we copy on Friday night. Um uh we also mentioned we have an annual we hosted the calendar for college career fair. Um it's open for our 10th, 11th and 12th grade students and we also have a session for outside guests. We have numerous other county schools that sign up and come. uh P mentioned a little bit we had 37 college and universities uh six trade and technical schools uh five branches of the military were represented and
015then four companies that are basically looking for workers and working for the kids. So, um, we cycle the kids through every one of the black all kids 10, 11, and 12 about to spend 40 minutes, uh, circulating through to all the all the vendors of the college. Um, once again, it it's pretty neat when you look at the top. Uh, we have a rich rich history academically and athletically here at Blackhawk. And when you have a team that you can say made school history and did something for the first time ever, uh, that was what the girls cross country team did. Uh they won a section title being 8 and0 for the first time ever which was awesome. Uh yesterday both teams ran at the match championships which is 22 schools. Our girls finished second
016and their next step is on October 23rd they'll run the WPL championships uh for a chance to be the first blackout team to ever go to the PIAAA race in Hersel November 1st. uh focus center group of girls. Uh the girl in the middle, I have to give her a little bit of shout out. >> But uh dedicated group of girls. They're all smiling there because they love to run. Um they they're always running. They're always smiling. But I want to commend them. Coach Miley, coach for making school history. New bands to go to the gym for them coming up. Uh just some upcoming meets. Our Monday we are participating in the Beaver County Edfest and rolling down. Um we're working the whole staff is heading down that way. Um October 20 through the 24th
017is senior week. Uh once again activities for the senior class that they're picked by their officers. Um culminating activity will be the senior night activities in the football game on Friday night. Uh hard to believe that I put that up there. October 23rd is the end of the first grading period already. Uh we're almost a fourth of the way through it. Um we have our fall sports pep rally on the 24th and then a little bit further in advance that on Tuesday, November 25th is our senior exit interviews we do every year uh is a graduation requirement. It's the in service day for us our seniors cycle through to do their presentations and their interviews uh as part of their final graduation requirements. So just some things coming up here. >> Thank you very much.
018>> All right. Thank you so so much. And I think next we have a finance update. >> Thank you. This is not going to be nearly as exciting as Mr.'s presentation, but uh sorry for getting ready. Can I skip the first slide for you? >> That's great. >> Okay. Right. So, just a few things to talk about today. Um, we're undergoing the audit for the 2425 school year. We'll take a look at what's happening so far this year and everybody's favorite topic, the state budget and what they're not doing, our 2026 27 budget process and then if you have any questions. So the audit first um our audit this year is being conducted by Turner Robertson and Associates. It is the same firm as previous year Charlie. He's just one of those transition more partners.
019So I think he's planning to retire in the next few years. So this is just continuation of the same folks just they did come on site two times and have done their on-site testing. We do have some additional deliverables that we'll have to get to them uh so they can finish up and we can prepare the AFR, the annual financial report that is due at the end of October, but there is an automatic extension to the end of November. They'll be back in January or February to present the financial statements to the board. And sorry. So hopefully we'll have those all approved by the board at one of those two meetings. There are some audit comments that I'm going to speak to here in a minute about the new service fund about reimbursements in 22
02023 and 23 24. so far this year. And again, this is prior to audit adjustments. This is not final numbers, so this is nothing that you can hold me to, but we're looking at about a surplus of 535 to $536,000. They will come back with some adjustments. They always do. So in looking at the food service fund, one of the comments that they have had, the auditors have had for the past two years is about the cash um that we are holding or we're holding in the general fund that belongs to the food service fund. Their comment was that that needed to be moved into a food service fund account because that's where it belongs. Here you see just a history of the surplus or deficit by year for the food service fund. Um you
021can see that prior to COVID we were operating at a deficit of a couple hundred,000 a year and then once COVID hit and federal money started coming in for universal free meals. uh got a lot of money that year and then since then Pennsylvania has continued universal free breakfast. So we've been operating profitably for the last three years that's been audited. Um this year I expect I don't have the final numbers but I expect it to be somewhere in the same range. So the food service fund is what we call a proprietary fund. That means it's meant to operate like a business. So the core principle of that is that it's self-funding. We should take in revenue. Now that doesn't always happen, but like I said, it has been happening for the last few years.
022Money that goes into that fund has to be spent on those types of expenses. So money in the food service fund has to stay in the food service fund. It has to be spent on equipment for the cafeterias, things like that. It cannot be moved back to the general fund. In years when there was a deficit in the past, the general fund did make transfers to the food service fund. Um just in in the recent history, I I look back 2018 2019 was a big year. They transferred $1.5 million from the general fund to the food service fund. There were a couple smaller transfers in the two years following, but since then there has not been that need because of the extra funding that we got from the federal state governments. PTE guidance is that
023the food service fund shouldn't have cash that is in excess of three months worth of their expenditures. So there's a form that we fill out every year after the financial statements are audited and part of that report is how much cash do you have in the food service fund. In previous years they've kept that money in the general fund. So there was really nothing to report. This year there will be a significant amount of money to report because that has all been transferred as per guidance from our administr. So 3 months worth of expenditures for us is anywhere from 4 to 500,000. Um we have 1.26 million. So we need to submit plan action to PTE once we file that report and they come back with the results because it is more than what we
024should have. Now, there are needs um that our food service director has identified and we'll be presenting those to you in coming meetings uh so that we can have a plan for for that money. >> Can I just ask a couple questions here? The so the 1.5 million that was transferred in 2018 to 2019, is that reflected at all in the balance now of the 1.26 million or was that pretty much all of kind of spent. >> Well, it all kind of feeds into it. So, the years leading up to 2018, 2019, I didn't go back and and look, you know, too closely at, but it built up a negative position in the food service fund. So, to me, that 1.5 million was trying to get it back on track, get it funded so that
025there was money in there for normal operations. um that might have been where they ended up at the end of that year was a little bit higher than I think what they needed, but I can't find too much detail on on what that entail. However, the years three years after that, there was a $200,000 hit each year. So it was reasonable what they did and there's no way of justifying any kind of recouping that back into the general fund once it's once it's there. It's in the >> I don't know that if anybody could have anticipated COVID happening. So when this move was made no one I'm making an assumption knew that CO was going to occur and then the state and federal governments were going to fund food service the way that they did.
026um which then I mean to to a benefit created um the you know a plus situation where we are now um but that's you know you have an opportunity based based upon it >> miss blueorn when we um hear the the fund cafeteria fund and then we hear food service fund are those two the same thing or are those two different things >> same thing so when when we refer to it as either of those we're talking about this proprietary fund, >> correct? >> Okay. And what what other funds in the district are like this one? Like are there others that are similar where you can put money in but you can't ever take it back out? >> So there are there are different types um the student activity fund the general fund cannot touch
027that money. That's student money that goes into their account. They use it for their purposes. um is to be spent on the students by the students. So that is separate. We have a scholarship fund that money has been put into for the purpose of providing scholarships. That money cannot be put into the general fund and used by the general fund. And then we have our capital projects fund. >> Would you think about other state or federally funded programs such special ed and access funding was the first one that came to my mind. Similar things. I know that we have a lot of restrictions on access funding and that is a fund that we have that sometimes the um we are restricted by regulations that we can only have so much in that fund before we
028have to also uh spend some of that off. Would that be similar? >> That's a little bit different because that's money held by the state for us that we have to draw on. um it's not something that we necessarily have control over until we say hey spend that money on this this and this reimbursements for that. So it's a little bit different but I mean there are restrictions to it. >> And if I was just going to I just wanted to clarify um in terms of our district budget when we budget for the school year are we budgeting a certain amount for the cafeteria fund? >> We don't. So, it's completely funded. >> The fund that you the budget that you approve is for the general fund. >> There's no way to appeal that 2018
029deposit. No. Thank you. >> So, when there is this excess money that you're saying that we need to spend, and I think I know the answer to this question, but I just sort of want us to have it out there and discuss it. There are legitimate needs in the cafeteria that need to be taken care of that have been kind of put on the back burner, no pun intended, for for some period of time, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Ovens and I don't know all the lingo, but pieces of equipment that are either failing or not being used because they don't work that need. >> And just being in meetings with uh Mr. and Mrs. flushment over the years. I think we've all heard that that's the case and that there are needs. >>
030Yeah. And at a certain point, equipment gets to to a point where you can't have replacement parts. They just don't make them anymore. And some of the equipment that we have is original to the building. >> And they've been asked, Mrs. Flushman has been asked to come up with a list of items that she needs. >> Yes. >> Okay. Good. Okay. So, this year, uh, we have had revenue of about $18 million in expenses. Can't read that up there. It's too far of almost $9 million. So, it looks like we have a lot of money. Looks like we have a big surplus, but that will decrease as the year goes on. As you may recall, our real estate taxes are built out in July. The way that they're set up is you can pay at
031a discount through the end of I say this right through the end of August. You can pay at face value through the end of October and then the penalty through the end of December. So, we get a lot of our real estate money early. And you can see we've got about 85% of the face value so far. So we have a little bit more tax money to come in. Um but after that we rely on the funding from the state and the state they have not passed the budget. There was a little bit of a a brief hope earlier today that something got through the house but needs needs to go in the senate. So nothing is is passed. Um so if you've heard anything like that, it wasn't the full budget that passed. And
032if you look at past year, by this time we had received about $4 million. This year we received 836,000. So there are some things that are not part of the annual state budget. The property tax reimbursement is is the biggest chunk of that $800,000. and we will get the second half of that that's related to our property taxes. So instead of that being paid by our taxpayers, it's paid by the city. So that will will come next I think end of this month or next month. So we're about $2 million short this year as compared to where we were last year just from funding from the state. So when we look to you know the rest of the year, the longer that the impass goes on, the more plan that they have to make. We're
033losing out on interest revenue that we could be earning on that money that they should send to us. The state also controls the dispersement of federal funds, the title funds basically this year since all the ESR grants are gone. Um, and that's about $400,000. Not a lot compared to our overall budget, but you know, still. So, what we're going to have to do is look to transition to more liquid assets, you know, keeping things more maybe the money markets so that if we don't get the state funding that they should, we have that cash available to us payable and to pay our suppliers. We do watch we do watch our cash closely all the time, but it's going to be very important as we watch the process for the state budget to make sure that
034we have funds available to us because if we don't get any of that money, then we're going to look little little. So that's where we're at. Any questions on that? >> You go. So, first of all, when when you talk about Oh, does somebody else have a question? Go ahead, >> Andy. You um if the budget isn't passed, say March time frame, do we have a plan for that? >> When do we shut down? >> Like, yeah, just you know, >> shut down. There are there are loans that are available um that you're getting into. I got a meeting with our bank representative this month. Um, and that's one of the things that we're going to talk about is setting up the ability to borrow, not borrow, just starting that process of, hey, what happens?
035>> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Bobby, did you have a question? So, when you talk about this um the interest revenue that could be rather significant, I'm sure. Do you take that into account when you are budgeting that that is going to affect the budget in some way that we're not receiving any of that interest revenue that you talk about up there? >> Yes, it impacts our average balance and when I did the budget last year, I had a number that I forecasted. Um, our interest rate right now is a little bit over 3%. So $3 million $4 million even for only three months $2,000. >> So if I owe that amount to the state, they would charge me interest. Do they pay us back the interest when they find out? >> I think I
036Yeah, >> we will get when they pass the budget money that they owe us. That's a significant amount of money uh that that they're allowed to just sit in there. For sure. >> And it's not just us. >> All the schools. Yeah. >> Billions of dollars. >> Have you slowed down on any payments at this point or are starting to take things into account with that? you know, um our charter schools where you have M and B. Um a lot of those couple of months that we got going on did make it through, but we're we're holding charter schools right now because our supposed to >> will we have to pay any kind of a penalty on that if if those are late? Yeah, we don't pay charter school to our necessity, but PD is
037not necessary. So there's nothing for 22. >> So you know, we're looking at our 2627 budget and the state has passed their budget. Um, so this is the calendar should look familiar to you. Not much has changed here. The only thing that I will point out is that our proposed final budget will be May 7th and the actual budget June 11th. So as you're making plans for the next six months, keep that in mind. The act index was released required to have that done, Aaron. >> What is the date we're required to have our budget passed? >> So the access one index has been released. Um our rate for this year is 4.7%. You may recall last year it was 5.4. um that is the maximum that we can go to. So if we apply
038that to our current tax rates, we would be looking at a millillage of 11.185 for Beaver County, then 24.781 for Lawrence County. Um that's just the max that we can go to. There has been very little discussion on the budget for next year as of this point, but just want to let you know that was published. The full rate increase would be about an additional 857,000 and one per mill would be about 172. Those numbers are not finalized. I do not have the excess value report which is what has a big impact on those numbers. Um we do have properties that have been appealed some that are still in the classes of the field. So that's always something that can change. Any other questions? Thank you. Thank you very much. >> Thank you for all
039those presentations today. Thank you and Mr. Ford. We appreciate all that information to public relations and communications. Mr. Black Hawk is very proud of our students achievements and we encourage the extracurricular activities that happen in each grade.

And there was no one signed up to speak on any agenda items. >> I have a question now though. >> You're welcome to ask now if it's on a agenda item. >> Okay. Sure. budget presentation that we just had. We were talking about food services account. I know that you guys are here but there's been a lot of spirited discussion about the fact that food services account um was selfunded at that point in time. All salaries and everything came out
040of that fund. Is that still the case? I there was a lot of discussion about that. didn't seem quite fair, especially when it was $900,000 in the hole that they were paying salaries out of that. I didn't understand why the salaries couldn't come out of where regular salaries come out of but was quick to knowing that that's just the way it was written. But I was just wondering if it was still the same way. Thank you. >> A board represent. >> Uh, no report. >> We'll turn it over to you, Mr. County Career and Technology Center. >> Uh, no report for this meeting. >> Thank you, Mrs. Manel. from the interview. >> No report. >> 7.1.
