011so It's all [Music] right there. [Music] There's one spot for any [Music] um high school [Music] credit and information. [Music] I think the other thing we talk about the future links is also just highlighting some of our own students and our own alumni and some of the different path paths that they've taken too and bringing that back to our students so they can see what our own graduates have done as they [Music] left college. you know that is you know information you [Music] know so really you know you know information to I think it's easier to navigate together to um you [Music] know piece that we'll have on the physical page is like the calendar. So we kind of have some of those upcoming events that we're going to have that are related to asthma
012or some of [Music] our information whoever that is. So this will be on the available through the website parents and students and for what I call Yeah. down a little bit deeper on anything just what we do, what we [Music] offer, questions, comments. The first thing I can just say I was going to say we've done shop for years with kids. We focus on getting them all this information, but we also parents on the sideline and this allows them to kind of walk through that process with their kids and so on. [Music] February [Music] questions always circle for sure. Yeah. I [Music] understand. Thank [Music] you. Thank you. Great. Okay. Uh moving on to our next item. [Music] We [Music] additions back [Music] to I appreciate you getting it done. James I thought was terrific.
013I thought it was a nice um addition to it. Um and I sat down and started writing that I didn't too late but most of our last time we was in there. So I I think it does a good job let people know that these things aren't aren't independent other things that are several codes of [Music] cond school district 200 middle and high school activities code of conduct. [Music] Mr. Mr. Roll call, please. Mr. Py, yes. Mr. Homo, yes. Mr. Hadley, yes. Mr. Melli, yes. Dr. Ferris, yes. Dr. Pickle, yes. Mr. Gilmore, yes. And before we move on, there's one more thing I want to ask. The problem is making sure they can get to it. I didn't realize that and I thought it would be a good idea to take this and I several
014timel Thank you. Thank [Music] you. Third quarter review. Okay. Thank you. Um I'd like to direct your attention to section 8.1 in your materials and we'll take a look at where we are. We're 75% of the way through the year and uh we'll just start out with our three main operating funds. looking at uh the ad fund fund number 10. Um if you look down and I again I think I've said this many times I really like this this setup because it gives you a trend. You can see where you are year-over-year. So I I'll point out some of the some of the things that are important. Uh one is when you look across the property taxes, you'll notice again that we're at 48.5%. All of the property taxes for the FY23 or the 2023
015um levy have been collected. We collected 99.5%. So one is uncollectible, but nonetheless, you can see we're at 48.5%. We will start collecting property taxes for the 2024 levy in May and June. And we typically collect about 53% of the uh taxes before we get to year end. So you'll start seeing that come in when we start looking at our financials in May. Um, the second thing that I wanted to point out to you is you're looking down through the revenue as well. If you look at the categoricals and you look across that line, you'll see that it looks like uh FY25 is a little bit low. And the only reason for that is just because of the processing time on the uh on the state's part before this meeting. I looked at it and
016they actually had uh set it up for payment on April 16th. So, I would expect to see that in the next couple days at the latest. we're expecting to get about 228,000 will get us up to 85% which is a little bit closer to where we should be at this point in time. Um otherwise looking down at the expenses you'll see at the almost close to the bottom you'll see transfers and you can see that $13 million item that is just a transfer to the debt service fund so we can make our large payment that we did in January and you'll see that again when we bring the budget to you later this year for the next uh debt service payment. So, those are the big things on fund 10 that I wanted to point
017out to you. Otherwise, for 75% of the year, we're looking pretty good. We're pretty much where we should be. Any questions on fun 10? Okay, let's move on to fund 20. This is our operations and maintenance fund. So, this is kind of the the focus of the operation. Again, same story with the revenues. The property taxes were at 48.3, but we'll see that pick up once we start collecting in uh May and June. The other thing is you look down in the state general in the general state aid. Typically we set up a budget amount for some transfers among the other funds if we need it. So we may do that for this fund. You'll see a $50,000 uh grant that was a matching grant that we received some funds, but otherwise we're in pretty
018good shape there. Looking down at the expenditures, you can see, you know, we're we're actually in pretty good shape. You can see another transfer there for a million dollars and that was to the capital spending fund. So that covers part of our solar as well as part of the Creek Side Cory River parking lot. But otherwise, for 75% of the year, we're in pretty good shape. Any questions on fund 20. Okay. And then finally, let's look at fund 40, our transportation fund. Okay. Similar story with property taxes. Again, uh the other thing that caught my eye that I should bring your attention was the state categoricals. And again, similar story as we had in fund 10. The state was slow at processing that and actually we should see another 958,000 and I saw that it
019was set up to be processed on May on April 15th. So I expect to see that in the next couple days. So what the state does is they essentially voucher it or set it up and then they process it a couple days later. So we'll see that coming in shortly. Um, you know, the other thing that, um, you'll see is when you look down in supplies and materials, it's it's a little bit high, but well, not really, but it it relates to new software that's coming in related to transportation. So, you'll see some information on that probably in a coming meeting. Um, otherwise, in the capital outlay, the 134,000, that was pretty much the two vans that we purchased and had uh um I guess decaled out so that they match the school. So, that
020was something that was um brought to you earlier this year. But otherwise, things are moving the way they should. For 75% of the year, we're pretty much where we should be for the funds. Any questions or comments? Okay. Thank you. [Music] The only comment I have is when you get to the insurance fund, it it continues to go up and up and up and up. I would like to address that above for a second. Please do. Yeah, go ahead. Um, you can see that the insurance fund looks pretty high actually this time. Two reasons. One is our March Blue Cross Blue Shield was unusually low. It was about 800,000. Typically, it's about 1.2 million. And it also had a we received a uh a rebate for our um our self insurance, our optimum self insurance
021for about 125,000. So between the two of those things, it made this one look unusually high. But looking forward into April, you're going to see blue cross shields closer 1.2. We'll get back on online with the typical expenses. So it's kind of an anomaly this for March 31st and you'll see that coming down a little bit. Yeah. [Music] Any other questions? Anybody else have any questions for comments? [Music] Okay. So there are new business approval of the resolution 2023.4 4.4 4.5 years [Music] because really excited about it. house today which is really exciting. Um only market to this [Music] price. Yeah. to come to this town. So I hope [Music] that any questions or [Music] comments. All right. Other suggest a motion in our [Music] move to approve the and wave the reading of the
