001we had um planned for ourselves. But what you do see on the sheet that you have there is our preliminary star data that while we might have missed it for our goal here right now and we just missed it by four percentage points, we did actually increase from last year's star results. So we're at 41% of 2024 and we actually moved up to 48%. So while we didn't meet 52, we still make 7 point increase um overall for star. What I do have for you at the bottom still too is the graph that I've had throughout the year that just shows the CBAs and the benchmarks. So, um you can have that information involved as well. So, that's the one part that I have for golf. One thing I can say too for the rating
002part of it. So, thank you Mr. Council to we do have an extra person that we'll have next year, an extra FTE teacher that we actually will put into EL. So we'll go back to 22 and two two sixth grade the hard teachers 27th and two eighth grade that will definitely help because reading and writing with the extra FTE that's question how many did you have that masters you said you had 48% uh we had 27 went from 17 to 27 so that's what we have on there I'm not looking at how many did not um 27 we had 73% % approach. So 27 did not and I'd like I'd like to kind of I don't want to rush past it so we can get the meeting. So I'd like to come back to that
003after we do a little bit of business and then look at the star results. But we're going to go ahead and call the meeting to order at this time get into the budget hearing and then we'll bring you back up and finish those. Yeah, just quick pause there. So uh we're going to go ahead and call this meeting to order at 6:13. Um we are at the HJ Mallister building. Uh we do have a quorum of trustees present now with four present. Uh and this meeting was posted in accordance to law. Uh so first we'll start with syndication and Mr. Towns is going to lead us to that. Heavenly Father, we asking presence here with us tonight. We humbly ask that you surround us with your Holy Spirit as we seek to do your will.
004Father, we ask that you wash away self and open our hearts to selfless decision making with one unified voice. We give you all the glory and thank you for your saving grace. Help us, Father, not to seek your powerful forgiveness without accompanying it with sincere heart and meaningful action. We ask your blessings on our students, families, staff, school, and community, and that your favor surrounds them like a shield all the days of their lives. We pray these things in Jesus Christ's most powerful name. Amen. Amen. And now for the pledge. 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. flag. I aliance to the Texas one state one indivisible. Anybody like to share any
005good news? I'll just say real quick, I'm loving all the summer athletic programs. 77 soccer was fun getting on the field with the kids and getting back to refereeing again. Um, and then all the girls at the junior high, all the boys at the high school. It's fun seeing them all get excited for football and our older coaches. So, I'm not loving the six o'clock start. Okay. U there's no celebration of excellence tonight. We had no audience or patrons submitted uh in time and so we will go right into uh items of business and we will enter into a public hearing at 6:15 to discuss the 2025 2026 budget. And Vince, this is we've all seen this already. So we'll just hit it at a high level if anything's changed since the last meeting. And
006then a reminder of the public that you are now welcome to participate in the meeting. I just ask that we respect each other and if someone's talking, um, we just kind of get each other's attention and wait our turn to ask a question. Sounds great. All right. Well, as you said, uh, everything stay the same. Here's a link to the T plan that's part that we've maintained. We discussed in the board budget workshop last week factors influencing the budget process that none of these have changed here in the legislative session. Uh, as a reminder, we are adopting this under current law, so not anything related to HB2. um talked about property values, tax compression quite a bit. Now we're expecting to see almost a $700 million increase. Uh so we should be compressive for we
007talked about um you know adopted revenue versus proposed for this year. Uh we had a decrease in ADA uh due to declining enrollment. Um you're seeing a almost $3 million loss in state revenue but almost u $2.5 million gain. So the delta that's going to be about half a million. You attribute that to the loss of like I said loss of enrollment but also um some things we talked about was the counts are down by about 50 um because of incorrect certainties. Um overall that's more or less what we talked about throughout the entire budget process. Miscellaneous revenue uh is down because we went from rate reimbursements to spy billing. Uh and then the the insurance program. So all that revenue is no longer going to be coming in TRS on behalf also because we
008adopted the custodial services RFP is down to account for those employees. Um overall the 2526 general fund expenditures by function construction makes up 52% uh followed in second place by facilities and maintenance is 17.4. Keep in mind that the majority of that's going to be made up by your uh your contract there. So it's just been maintained there and then utilities and some of those other pieces. Um followed by school leadership and and we saw some of these I'll kind of explain why here in a second just percentages that chart broken down. So this is what we had um coming into you know this week from last week is a budget of 40,688,106 um looking a comparison of what we adopted to what we're proposing tonight. Anything in red is where we've decreased the function.
009Anything in green, I'm sorry, anything in red is where we've increased. Anything in green is where we've had those decreases. Going by function, function 11 instruction, we brought that down by about 7200. Um, sorry, increase by 7200 instructional resources and media. Uh, 12 is down by 8,000. That's also just depending on how campus is broken up their lockets. uh looking at 13 that's down by about 66 and a half. Instructional leadership is down by 40,000. Uh school leadership is up by 97. So uh when I took a deeper dive into that, a lot of that's attributed to the 6100 or the salaries and benefits. The big piece with that and the difference is that last year we kept it all budgeted into kind of one area and you know took the salaries amount and you
010know added an additional 14% to that to get our number. This year we got a lot more data uh in the Skyward took it and actually um calculated everything out and put that there. So it's estimating really really high on the um the benefits and the uh the deductions there. So so all those taxable benefits and some of those It's, you know, kind of building ahead. It's pledging ahead for those based on what was paid out of those accounts in the system. So that's why that's the explanation to have for those functions that we looked at last week. 23, 31, and then 34. The majority of those increases were there. Looking at 34 though, um there was one thing there uh that I was looking at. Fuel costs were, you know, were down here, but
011just making sure contributing to those. Other than that, the big driving factor there and once again similar to 21, I'm sorry, similar to 23 and 31 is that that piece is being calculated by Skyward. Um 52 went up slightly outside of you know those 6100s, but it's because of once again how some of these uh campuses have budgeted for it. Um so that that's just they need to spend more on some security because things were brought up in the DVA DVA audit as a suggestion. They went in and did those things for their campus um because we're funding um the requirements from the DVA audit uh which is a district vulnerability assessment. Uh so we're funding those but if there's anything that was more more or less a suggestion not a requirement then the campuses
012have the ability to take their law and you know put it in those areas. Looking at 41, we're down. And like I said, none of this has changed other than me just going in and taking the heat up. The only change that I will call to attention is function 81. We made sure to put in the remaining balance from the 2022 stat. Um, so that's what we still have left to other than that we look at, we had 2024, 2025, our budget was 40, 388,94. We went up to uh by $299,000 to 40,686 and that's not a huge increase when you think about that really holds the cut. Yeah. And the campuses have done a phenomenal job job dealing with it. Some of the cost cutting measures we went into is last year we cut
013everything by 10%. We took an additional 10% from their allocation per student. So let's say you're getting funded $100 per student. We cut you by 10% last year. So you're getting 90. This year you're getting $80 per student. simple, you know, math break down there. Federal costs make up 67.4% of the local budget with 16.8 being contracted services. Dr. Bronto's team does a really good job of making sure that we're we're meeting staffing needs with the contracting side because it's not just your specialist, it's teachers, some of those behavior units, some of those places that are harder to staff, but we still have to fill. So, some of that contracted services that you're going to see there, typically we see that cost around 70% but because of what we're having to do for contract and
014in some of those contracted employees you're seeing that that you know that amount go up there. Uh debt service comes in at uh 4.5% and then supplies of materials comes in at 4.4. So overall this is what I showed you guys last week projected revenue of 34.5 million proposed budget 40.6 Looking at that, we're looking at a deficit of 6.2. Just looking at this, we're seeing, okay, we got our adopted deficit of 4.4 last year, an increase in expenses by 299,000, a decrease in revenue of 1.4. That's how it's broken up. Fund balance, just a reminder, this is something I took from KBISD. It's what fund balance is and what it's not. Um, it's not a sav account, not rain fun, and it's not the result of unduly high taxes. Um the suggestion is, you
015know, we should have three months on hand. We didn't have that this year because of where we're at the deficit. Big picture where we're at, we're looking at a deficit of 6.2. Uh we project working with region as I mentioned last week, we uh we came up with a projected fund balance, ending fund balance for this fiscal year of 4.4. um with a you know adopting a deficit 6.2 we will end we'll end the uh fiscal year in the negative 1.7 almost 1.8 fund balance and I know that's scary and daunting but keeping in mind this is all adopted under current law uh looking into looking ahead to house bill 2 um this isn't what we're adopting but this is the that's going to be coming from some of that. A lot of these are
016based on estimates. The, you know, the state in terms of TDA and they're still interpreting everything that was signed into law. So, working with Casey, um, looking at the possible two runs, we're seeing about $2 million available in new funding that will be amending the budget for coming next month in August. Um and then uh estimated revenue increase if you know there's 12 pennies available tier 2 pennies uh you got the option to offer those with either a baker or pling disaster pennies and so that could yield about 3.6 million. Um so looking at those two additional sources of funding you jump from that 1.8 to almost 3.8 quite a swing there. But uh as we mentioned a lot of the house bill 2 is going to be some pastor revenue for teacher teacher raises
017the support staff a lotment as well um the increase payrolls contributions the district has to make that'll come out of that ABC. So that's why we're trying to estimate be conservative with that HB2 additional revenue to um outside of that the we're have those paintings one way or another. So I don't know if you guys want to do motion to adopt and then I want to have a conversation with you about what we need guidance on moving forward to be able to get those 12 available pennies. So we can have a discussion now and then do it or it's up to you guys. The budget is what it is. But I do want you to that there is a path, but how we get to that path, I'm going to want to know what the
018board's guidance on that is. Before we we make that decision, I just because of what we have to adopt and how we adopt every year, just want to show you guys the INS budget. Uh this is assuming that we maintain our current tax rate at 34 cents. Um so uh if it goes down then you know we won't really know until later on but uh so projected state and local revenue is coming in at about 7.8 total expenditures that are currently scheduled for 7.1. So we're expecting a surplus of about um 774,000. Now we uh if those property taxes hold and we may end up changing that uh you know that rates maintain may go down by five or six cents depending on what the estimated certified appraisal rule ends up being looking at looking
019at an overall fund balance in IMS and then looking at food service budget uh total projected revenue of 2.7 uh expectages of 3 million ending at a deficit of 2 or sorry not 2 but 278,000. This is the one time I will say having a deficit is a good thing. Here's what the state wants us to see. It's because as a reminder during co they pumped a ton of money into food service budgets and now they're looking for food service departments to cut down that tremendously. So um Brandon Gray having something called an ENCR to kind of show how he's going to reduce his fund balance into what they consider an appropriate amount. So they're originally it was three months for them. They're trying to because of the problem that they created by pumping all
020that money in there with really no way of you know spitting that money very quickly because they have to approve all those big purchases. Um they're looking at moving that up to six months. That was a change that was supposed to be coming in over the summer. Uh so that's like I said this is going to be one of the only times you'll hear me say that the deficit budget is good and that's because they're they're supposed to be bringing that balance down those months of balance there. So he's going to end the year with about 1.8 but I know this is what we're really wanting to talk about. Yeah. I mean, the budget's the budget's the budget. So, if anybody has any questions, if there's any comments or questions from the public, you know,
021let's let's let's handle those now and then we can make a motion and and vote on the current budget and we'll talk about how we move forward. No, it's we're going to we're going to exit the public hearing and go back into the meeting before we make a motion. Yeah. If anybody has any we've been doing this every week for two months, so I mean I've seen it. So I don't have any questions right now. I'll have more questions about how we move forward than I do about you know what we're at what we're doing. I'm not hearing any questions or comments. So, we will exit public hearing at 6:29. Is there a motion to be made? Make a motion we adopt the current budget as presented. There's a motion on the floor by trustee
02210. Is there a second motion? Second. Motion's been seconded. All those in favor? I opposed. Motion passes four to zero. Okay. All right. So, um Vince basically has it mapped out here for you. Um the estimated from HB2 is 2 million, but that is estimated. Okay. And so, and we were very conservative with that piece. So, that would be you know, we talked about the fees with M loans. What do we do with anything that's extra? We talked to financial advisors and everything. They advised us that at this point you need to apply directly to the deficit obviously and so that would be applied directly to the deficit. Um and then 12 pennies are available for us um to either get through a disaster relief or through fader um a voter approved tax rate. Um
023so the difference is is that we had hurricane borrow last year. Um and for the year preceding that year, you may adopt what's called disaster pennies. So whatever pennies you have left that are available, you can go out for all of them, some of them, whatever it is that you want. But you would do that as a board when you adopt the tax rate. You do not go to the voters for that. You just adopt the tax rate using those disaster pennies. It only lasts for one year and then that revenue is gone. A vader you have to go to the voters and they have to vote and it has to be a super majority on the vote 60%. And if they pass it then you have that for the rest of history and that's
024yours. So that would be continuous generator. What I would suggest is is that as you can see, if we don't have the 12 pennies, then when we get to the end of this year, it will be done. And so, if you think about it, do you want to risk passing a veer right now or taking what you know is guaranteed? Do you want to guarantee the district is solvent for another year or you want to risk it on an election right now? And here's what I'm telling you. It's going to be hard for this team. There's a lot of there's a lot of things involved with it. It's going to be hard for this team to be able to pull this off and do it well in the timeline that we have because it would
025be a November election and there's a lot of things that have to happen like right now, starting right now. If we elected to do these disaster pennies, one of the things that Vince had talked about is we could offset that cost to the public, the taxpayer with the INS. Talk about that for a minute, Vince. Yeah. So, right now, we're assuming that that tax rate that I showed you guys a minute ago, the rates maintain could come down if property values stay consistent, they could come down by about 8 cents. So if you look at the overall what you're adopting um say your overall is a dollar but then you know we're probably go up to a$14 on the total um because you're decreasing that by 7 to 8 cents on the INS side but
026you're increasing it by those 12 on the side is what's going to save you know keep everything open here um bringing that additional 3.6 for a year and it allows for the planning for going up later for 2627 to make sure that it's done it's done right. Of course, we have to pay for you know an efficiency audit at that point and that's something that you know no one says you can't do an efficiency audit this year in the year that you buy yourself time and so that's something that you could also do in the guaranteed year that you have. So our plan is to come back to you in July with more information or what we need to make a decision on and really it's not a decision but because you wouldn't if you
027said okay we want to do later you wouldn't vote on that and do that until August right but and same thing with the disaster business but the problem is there's a lot of things that have to happen starting right now and if you say we want to risk it on Bader then we got to start right now preparing for that for you to be able to improve at that time. So we don't want time to to lapse. Um if you say no, we want to guarantee this year and we want to prepare take time prepare for the debater to maximize the chance for it to be to pass then that's then we'll bring that to you in August when it's when it's the appropriate time to do that. U there's not a decision that or
028movement is what what do we think is going to be best for the district. Two questions on that. One is I agree with what you're saying and I think of it also as another way in that we've been pro we've been getting promises for three or four years like help is coming state's going to do something state's going to do something they haven't done anything and then now in the last 60 days or so they're finally starting to do something and we're seeing House Bill 2 and we're hearing of other things that are coming and House Bill has some things that we don't even know for sure how it impacts us. In some ways it could be way better, some ways it could not. So I really like the idea of the disaster side of
029buying this one more year so that we can see if we actually do get that promised help from the state or not before we do a lifelong so to speak, you know, pay. So, I I like that aspect of it, too, of just, hey, like we just need a temporary fix and hopefully that will go away once we get some help. And then my second question is is I'd like a time frame from you on what because we've been promised so many times, right? When is when is the date that y'all need to know so that we're set up for the best success if we are moving forward with the VA? Like, is that Do I need to know in October? Do you need to know in November? No, not not for right now. For
030next year. Oh, like if you have time and you and you're like, we're going to do this right and we're still not seeing any help from the state. When do you need to know from us like, yeah, we need to start doing all of the announcements and getting all of the public behind us and all that, right? Well, I think that the education piece starts now, okay? Because we're going to be adopting if we adopt a disaster pendings. The public needs to know why. They need they need to know what's brought us to this and what are we doing and what does that look like? They need to know that it's finite. And so we had to do this piece. But we're trying to offset the cost to them with the INS. So it doesn't
031maybe four four cents is what they'll see overall instead of 12. But I think I think what it's probably we would need to know by May of next year and we don't have to have like the answer right now. That's something I would want to know because if it is May of next year then I because we love to discuss things so much. I would want it on the board agenda by at least you know February you know March or something like two months before your date. So what happens is is August is when you call it for the November election. Right. Right. So that's that's the only action. But you want to know from us if you want to move forward or not before August. Right. And I would tell you that it's probably
032going to be likely. I I don't see a scenario where you don't have to move because this is this is this is it. The 2 million. You're not going to see more than that. I really don't think you're going to see much more than that. not enough to make up for almost 4 million that we're going to get with the disaster and the later those 12 additional things. And that's the only way that we're going to be able to and we'll show you what what that half looks like when we come back in July. But that's the only way that it's going to buy us possibly enough time to be able to get some additional revenue, get some things going to where we can along for a couple more years and then start slowly building
033up that fund balance. timing slowly. Um I I don't see a path where you don't have to do it. But to answer your question, we really would need to know around Christmas time if that's going to be something we need to pursue because it's a lot. You're going to have to start really pounding things out. And tomorrow we've got a consultant uh who's going to be meeting with us in cabinet to talk to us about what that looks like and what they can do for us. They have had a tremendous track record with like pass the bond. It's the same thing. Um, so we're already laying that groundwork and learning what we need to learn. Um, and one of the things that we will talk about in July is is that you are required to
034do an efficiency audit that's associated with that. But we would propose that we do an efficiency efficiency audit now even though we're not running innovator. So that we have professionals helping us to identify some of those areas of efficiency that we're sitting here, we're struggling to find, right? Because we feel like we're at the bare bones. And so then we can start implementing that at the end of next year ready to go doing that so that by the time we get to it's time to call a vader and we do another efficiency audit with that fader. This is then now we've already done all those efficiencies and we've gone through that process and that will help the voters and everybody understand where we're at and that we've done everything that we can at that point.
035I don't know if I was going to kind of did that Mr. Chris and Mr. Chris is spot on and that was kind of the discussions that we've had as a team is what are we going to do to best service our community so that they know what is a Baker? Um I know Mr. Chris mentioned it a second ago when you sit down and ask us yes we could figure it out but I don't feel that we're going to give our community enough uh conversations to be able to fully trust us when it comes to the Vader. So our goal was let's go ahead and start having those conversations with maybe a consultant to really start generating those conversations with the community. So we wanted to start that process of could we do it
036in December? Could we even start in November so that we start going ahead and getting ahead of the communication to the community to drive and spearhead that process for it. And so when it does come to August of next year, they already know what Vader is. It's not some random word that's coming out. It's truly this is what we're doing moving forward to support the community and to really uh get us to the point where we need for the deficit. Yeah, I mean I agree with everything Mark said out of the problem is, you know, it's hard because there is no help coming next year because the legislator doesn't meet our legislation doesn't even meet next year. So we got two years now before we we hear anything from them. So I think disaster pending
037now vader education to follow then the session comes out but at least you know we've gotten through a couple of two three years and hopefully something more comes soon. And you'll see that even if there's no action for the next session that we do have a pathway, but it's going to be extremely tight and we will continue to experience what we have with our cash flow and our fund balance that will not go away and it may increase even more because we're going to be a little bit tighter, right? Um so those things will be there, but it's going to be impossible for us not to start having those conversations now and especially so that our staff understand as well. Um, you know, they everybody thinks that there's all this money coming to the schools,
038but and it is. And thank God that it's coming to the teachers. That's amazing. That's great. But it in the smoke cloud, it looks like it's going to help the school and and it's not. There's very little actually going to help the school. So, they need to understand that because it will always be spun as we're spending 8 whatever billion dollars, but is it really addressing the problem and it's not? So, you know, just I just everybody's input on you want to do the disaster because if you want to do Vader now, we got to start doing it now. Yeah. I know we always have a choice but it sounds like we don't really have a choice. Yeah. And I mean as far as a Vader too, I mean it's pretty much inevitable that we
039will have to do it for 26 27 then I mean the answer to your question is we start out. Yeah. So I I was wondering if we if we had like a let the state see if they're going to help us any with they haven't helped October then you say all right we're moving forward but it sounds like we don't even need to wait for that what do you think Mr. No middle road. I I guess the best way I could put it is is that just to really simplify it, do you want to risk or do you want to guarantee? Because if we don't get the baiter pan, if we go for the bait, you can't come back and do disaster. That's it. That's it. And so if that happens, then then we're done.
040And so it's like a guarantee and there's a lot that can happen in a year. There's a lot that could happen in a year as opposed to not even giving it a shot. And and I think uh myself I would be more comfortable with all seven of us talking about that and really getting the same understanding. Right. And and I did have I did have an opportunity to talk to Miss West Morland and she was in support of doing the 12. I didn't want to bother Miss uh I didn't want to bother her or silic but u yeah and and it's not like I said it's not a decision but if you were going to do the Vader we'd have to there's some things that we're going to miss deadlines on if we don't you
041know and I know it seems like we're kicking the can but really we're setting oursel up to have the best opportunity to Yes. Yes. I mean, we want the best, but um so much has been said about it, it's becoming convoluted to me. I got you. Well, it's it's really is this simple. We're going to have to have those 12 additional pennies. Okay. We have to in order to survive, we have to have the 12 additional pennies. How are we going to get them? Do you want to guarantee that we get them this year or do we want to now with the guarantee we get them this year? We have to spend them or what we So we will so if we go out for so if we adopt 12 additional bins then we will
042have that income this year and we will be able to go another year. Okay. And then but that will not be available. It goes away after that year. That's why you would have to then turn around and do the Vader to get the same additional 12 pennies to keep getting that revenue. Well, you said 60% vote, right? Can you trust it to get the 60% vote? That's that's the question. Can you trust it now or do you want to guarantee it? If you So, there's two ways to get it. Leave it to the voters right now and if they say no, then we're done. we do the disaster this it may be in God's plan that this the hurricane bro came and that we had some damages and that we qualify to do this you
043know what I mean and so it's either yeah I know for sure that we're going to make it this year and we'll be open at the end of this year or I don't know we're going to try it and if it doesn't work I'm sorry I mean is there a downfall all to taking the pennies now and pushing the Vader back. There's two there's two downfalls right now. If we were to do Vader within that disaster time, you don't have to pay for an an efficiency on it. It's required that you do one probably 50,000. I don't know what we haven't yet. So um and then the other the other thing is is you're essentially taking it you're taking it instead of going into but if we're able to offset that with the INS I
044think it'll minimize the impact and truly we've compressed our tax rate so much that I don't think they'll see a significant difference. The scary thing for me and it signifies my decision is when we get to the end of the year and we don't have any money and 70% of our budget is salaries, salary checks aren't going out. If we're a million7 negative and we spent all the you know what I mean that's just that's just what that'll be the last things that that'll be getting paid at the end of the year and it's not going to go out and so I'm all for the disaster pennies. That's sort of where we are now right with the what we had to do with the with the loan. Yeah. But that's just an flow. I mean,
045we're still net positive for the year. It's just funding came in late, right? Yeah. Not, you know, just But next year's budget will actually be a net negative. We'll have spent all of our fund balance and essentially be $1.8 million on a whole. What's the chance of the HB2 the actual chance? Oh, it's it's passed. Okay. It's passed. Yes, sir. It is passed. And then the penny, right? The pennies are we we have to find a mode. Choose a mode to grab the pace. And the modes are Yes. The modes are disaster adoption by the board done in in August or you go to the voters in November and they give it to you. So those are two options. That is it. That's the only get those things and we're not voting on it tonight,
046right? I want your input. I know we're going to do best photo reach out and grab the best. So talk back there. Well, I think you two can have a conversation. Yeah, but we cannot go back here to discuss that. That's I mean that's part of the open meeting and like I said it's not a decision point right now. I mean like we don't have to vote but we're going to miss timelines if you said we absolutely want to do that. All right. We good on this? You need consent agenda.
