So, congratulations to him and I'm sure we'll get more reports on our athletes at the district track meet today. But uh congratulations to Blake and his and his family and Mr. Hawkenbrook. And you folks can leave if you would so choose or you can stay. Uh we also have Karen.
010I didn't forget about you this year. Uh Karen's gonna give budget. Oh, citizens comments. Yeah. No citizens comments, I'm guessing. Okay. Okay. Moving right along. Uh Karen is up with the budget presentation. What are you doing there? Okay. So, we're gonna talk about proposed budget for next school year 2025 2026. First, what I'm going to do is to take a look at the past. Okay, right now on this chart, um, we actually have eight years of data there and I have six years in the title because it's the actual revenues and expenditures for the past six years. So, those are the dark purples there. The column um for each year to the left is the revenue and then the brighter purple is the expenditures. And as you can see in 18/19 1920 2020 2021 our
011expenditures exceeded our revenue coming in and we balanced it by using um our general fund balance 2122 22 23 23 24. You can see the revenue was a slight more than the expenditures during those school years. We had additional federal funds coming in for grants which actually helped us and assisted us in being able to balance with a little bit more revenue at the end. 2425 and 2526 that is the budget. We do not have the actuals done for this school year because we're still in process. Um you can see again that it's going in as an unbalance a little bit less um for the 25 26 year comparing revenues and expenditures. I have that slide in there because sometimes people when we put them up on the web page, they like to see the
012actual numbers. Okay, I'm going to focus on the charts. In our revenues, we have three sources of revenues. We have the local, the state, and the federal. And you can see as we're going through here, pretty much the local is stays pretty stagnant throughout and slight increases as you go. state. You'll see as we get to the 22, 23, 24 school years. Um, we had additional ESER funds, CO money coming in from state in the form of grants and also some adequacy funding for our district. You're now going to see as you look at the 23 24 and the gray bars, the federal funding is decreasing. Again, that's due because the ESSER and the ARP ESSER funds that we were getting federally, they're done. They're no longer. So, we don't have that big gain in
013federal funds. So, we're going back to kind of like normal back to the 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 19, your um chart there. Hey, again, I put the slide in for actual numbers for some if you wanted to look at. Here are actual expenditures from oops, I forgot the M for from 1617 through 23 through 24. So, our top is our debt um bond and other and you can see pretty much they're they stay the same. fees, interest, and dues again is the interest on top of our debt. Um, transfers in and out. That dark line there that like looks like kind of black blackish, that's actually 2223. And you see like equipment, it goes all the way out. Keep in mind in 2223, that was the prime year where we were doing our ESCO
014project here and we have Brewer and Garrett in. So, we had a lot of equipment for HVAC systems, um, some freezers, some coolers that we were replacing. So that's why that equipment bar is like just shoots out there and that was all funded through that grant um ESSER and ARP esser grant. Um the other things you can see consistently um the bottom two the salaries and benefits are consistently growing. Some years maybe went out a little bit more but keep in mind again with the esser and the arbser we did after school tutoring so that increased your salaries we did the summer program so you have more salaries involved during those programs. The other one I would like to point out is our purchase service. Um, that's kind of the one right in the middle
015that goes out a little further. Purchase service. One of our biggest items in that is tuition costs. And I'll get a little bit later into specific slides regarding tuitions. So when it comes down to these years and you have a general fund balance, basic think of the general fund balance as your checking book. So you have expenditures, you have revenue coming in. Where does it look like our balance? Well, in 1819, we had about 2.2. Then, if you remember on the graph, we had to use some of the general fund balance to balance it. So, we went down to 2.1. Then, we went up to 2.2. Then, we took like $4 million, went down to 1.8. Then the past couple years, we were able to get 2.4, sustain at a 2.4 level, and then past
016year we're at 3.4. So now with all that background information, where are we going forward with the proposed budget? Well, most of our expenditures, usually we're taking a look at the cyber charter tuition, special agent, education costs, which are still underfunded by the our state and federal. Then the annual increases in payroll and its benefits. Um, we always have our debt, our QAB and two esco bonds. We always have to look at our infrastructure and our grounds and what do we need to replace? What are we looking at? and the whatifs, the babies, you know, and of course our supplies. Now, earlier I said the referencing about tuition costs. Cyber tuition costs has been one of our um elements, one of our expenditures in our budget that we have no control of. Okay. By law,
017by our state law mandates, a student that lives in our residency may choose to come here to Schmokinary School District and be educated within our building or they may choose to enroll in a cyber school. Currently, for the 23 24 school year, that cyber school bill was 3.2 million. I'm projecting for this current school year probably of 3.6 million. And you can see if going back to 1213 as we go up, if you would add all those numbers, it's probably midway between 20 and$25 million that we've had in this expenditure for um cyber tuition. Special education is another area that seems to be increasing over the years. Um it's mandated by federal law. Unfortunately, only about 35% is subsidized through state and federal funds. In 2324, we had 8.2 million and I put source function
0181,200 there because that only covers the instructional cost. Special education you also that does not include your supervisor, your office with the secretary, your social workers, your guidance. So any of those are in a different category and that's not included. This is just classroom instruction costs. 1.8 mill actually almost 1.9 million of that number 8.2 two was actually special education tuition to cyber charter school. Then if you go back one more year, you had 7.1 million and now that total cost about 1.3. So you're seeing even though we had a 1.1 million cost to the instruction special education, about half a million of that increase was at the cyber school level and the other 600,000 was here at our school level for special education. The costs are rising. A lot of our students do need
019to we do need to seek outside agencies to assist and to provide those services that they need and those tuition costs are increasing annually. Um, one slide I just put in here, we do pay towards our PERS retirement employer contribution rate. And a lot of times like people say, oh, I'm saying about the 34% 35%. Well, you have to realize back in 0203 that percentage was 1.15%. Then in 1011 it made a little jump to 5.64. But then 5 years later it went up to 25.84%. And slowly you can see in 2223 is at 35 and we've had seen a little decrease by a percent or two. So we're down to 34%. I do want to note that the state does subsidize this as long as it is in their budget approved on June 30th
020which sometimes is not approved that June 30 we may have to wait July August in the past recent years for the state to approve it. So we do get back more than 50% of this and kind of what that means for budgeting purposes for every dollar in gross salary we need to at least budget 34 cents per staff. Okay, I'm going to take a closer look at these line items which will be in the graph here. So over the time what we do is we take a look at we have a budgetary reserve, we have salaries and benefits and those are the two tallest ones there. Salaries and benefits as you can see when you look at all the charts they're pretty much consistent. there's a little bit growth and that little bit growth is
021because well cost increase um we have contracts bargaining agreements with our staff they have annual increases health care increases you know so you have different things there with the salary and the benefits professional services property services purchase services um supplies equipment they're all pretty much maintained the same there's not too much growth it's pretty much due to your cost of living, which we're all experienced even at our own homes. And then you can see, well, if we take a look at this, well, what percentage of the budget is that? Again, pretty much it's been consistent. It's about the same percent from year to year. We are not changing too much percents of for each of those categories. Sources of revenue. So, our sources of revenue again is local, state, and federal. Um, if you look
022real quick at the percentages again, local is about 22%, state 7374, federal 43%. Um, so it's been very consistent. Out of the money to actually budget what you saw earlier in the total expenditures, we probably will deplete or very close to depletion of our general fund estimated balance, which then gives us a total revenue of 41.3 million. So, we are going to have an unbalanced budget by about $400,000. Um, the next slide in that budget is we are increasing proposing to increase the millage rate by the act one index. And at a recent finance committee meeting, they asked me to go into a little bit more detail what that looks like for our citizens, our property owners. So we get a county assessment for the properties in Schmokinary school district and that county assessment says
023that our properties are worth 119 million216 $216,23. So a value of one gross mill if we collect 100% on one gross mill would be 119,219,216. However, we do not collect 100% of real estate taxes. We usually collect by December 31st 85%. So one mill would generate for us an additional $11,334. Then I give you some history there. What the millage was and what does that mean? So for example, if you had an assessed value of 10,000 was your assessed value in 2020, you were paying $345.40 and then you can see historically how that increased through the years. Okay? So for 2025, you probably have a $25.30 increase on every 10,000. Well, one of the things was how does that really look? So we're going to break it down a little bit more to give you
024better information. So the state releases the state property tax relief for homestead exclusions. Shimokian, we are receiving $66,92 for 2025. Now, to qualify for this tax relief, you have to fill out the application, the form. So, if you take a look at this PowerPoint on the web page, I do have the website right there that you could click on in case you are wondering how do you qualify for homestead farmstead exclusion. And it goes through the county. So, the county then reports to us. We have approved 4,181 homesteads, 22 farmsteads. And then using that money and this those counts and the 66,92 we do some formulas and we learned that our exclusion assessment is 3,329. That means that if you have property assessed at 3,329 or less, the state's tax relief will cover that bill
025for you. Okay? you are going to get and if you were approved for homestead farmstead you will get that discount of $14528 if your assessment is greater. Okay. There were 150 approved homesteades that came in below the 3,329. So then what you have to do is say for example your bill is $140. Okay. Well I can't give you $14528. So then that $528 goes in a pot. So we have to calculate all the remaining money and that remain amounting money gets redistributed out to the other households um because originally it was like $144 per um household and that's how it went up to 14528 cents. So I pulled some bills to give you a comparison from 2024 versus what your bill might look for 2025. So here last year, if your assessment base was 8,700
026and you were approved for a homestead, that decreased that base by 3,83 to give you a net base of 5,617. Your base amount owed for the real estate would have been $35757. Last year's exclusion was $126.71, meaning that now you only own $23086. What does that look like with the new numbers for 2025? So the millage goes up, your assessment base is still 8,700. You get approved for homestead. The homestead value now is $3,329, giving you a net base of $5,371. So then your base amount is $379 and some change less exclusion $145, making your net base amount $234. So, your increase from last year 2024 to 2025 is actually the base increase is $22, but your net increase is going to be $353 of what you're going to be paying in addition. Now, sometimes
027you can maybe actually be paying less in 2025 as opposed to 2024. And here's an example of something like that. Your assessment base is 5,200. Your homestead approval is at 3,83. You decrease that to 2,117. So you can see the math on the left. Your base amount of $213. You subtract $126. So what you owed at the tax office was $871. For 202025, even though we're doing a tax millage increase, your assessment, same base, 5200. This time the homestead was approved a little higher, making your net base less. There's your base amount. Obviously, it's more than last year, but your exclusion is more, which brings your net base down lower than what you paid last year. Um, so your bet your base increased by $1321, but when we applied the exclusion, because you were approved
028for homestead, you are actually going to have a bill that's $5.36 less. Now, does that happen for all of them? No. But I just wanted to show there's some scenarios where this year's bill is going to be less than last year. So in summary again I said it's about 400,000 that's not balanced. Um please keep in mind that we do follow a conservative budgeting process. We um kind of with our revenues they sometimes be underestimated and the reason is because of the uncertainty with the state and federal funds. We get some ideas what federal funies coming in what state funds are coming in but we really don't know truly what those values are until the laws are passed. So forward, our next steps, the proposed budget will be available for the public, not only on
029the web page, but we will also have a paper copy here at the business office that you're welcome to come sit bring a cup of coffee and peruse through the copy here at the business office. Um, final adoption has to be at least 30 days later in June, hence the beginning on June 17th. And as with any additional funding or lack thereof, the school board can always reopen or reauthorize the budget throughout the school year. So I want to thank everyone from our staff members, our teachers that worked with their administrators at the supervisory levels, buildings and departments, Mr. Bennett and also the board for their time and I hope that we are able to come in balance by the end of the year with actual data.
