001and we're going to keep working until we get there. Some of our strategies for improvement, one of the biggest was our quality control work that we've the the district has helped us with that and led us through that work. Um I'm still constantly looking at geometry assessments as we speak. I just reworked a geometry assessment the other day um based on the quality control work we've been doing. So we work on standards, lessons, and assessments. We just want to make sure that all the work we're doing is aligned and that kids are, you know, getting mastery of the skills and the standards they need in order to be able to perform on the KSA testing and to be able to perform on the SAT and be ready for for college after they graduate high school.

002The other is weekly formative assessments. This is something we've really um we've kind of mo well every school was doing this really really well and we went to AMS and visited. Big thanks to Miss Rose for having us over. And we've really taken this as an initiative and really worked with our formative assessments to see where our kids are struggling on a week- to-eek basis. And then we're able to easily um you know make changes to our instruction in order to meet their needs and to make sure that they're mastering those standards. The third one uh is intentional and focused support when it comes to teaching and coaching. We've identified teachers needing help in the classroom. We're in their classrooms a lot. Uh, and we're we're pro providing support not only with lesson planning, but

003skills that they're working on in the classroom, whether it be they need behavioral management in the classroom or just some more structured focus as far as engagement strategies and things of that nature. The next one's MTSS, so solid multi multi-tered systems of support for students. Um we've this year we have implemented a behavior program to where students who are struggling behaviorally we have check-ins with them. We also have you know uh they can have weekly check-ins. We also offering some incentive type programs different things of that nature along with the academic pieces. So we have um tier one, tier two and a tier three system when it comes to helping students in math, reading, social studies, science, whatever they may need assistance with. and um you know ESS services or extended school services are a

004pretty big component of that as well. We've really encouraged our teachers this year to make contacts to parents to get students in the seats. What are they there for? What do they need help with? And it's all based on all the rest of this stuff, the weekly formative assessments and everything that we do throughout the week. And then lastly, uh a three three-phase walkthrough. Um this is something we'll be presenting about at EDICON. Um it's kind of really a breath of fresh air. It's a little bit different from just having the same walkthrough all the time. We take a different approach every two weeks to our walkthrough. So one week we might be looking at the engagement in the classroom and how engagement's going. Then the next time we might be looking at the rigor

005of the curriculum and pointing out to the teachers where they fit on the Danielson framework. So it just varies and it rotates. Um it's good for the teachers. they get a lot of immediate feedback and then it's also good for us as well. Uh I think because we get to focus and look at different aspects of the classroom. So I just want to point out a couple of things. Um some things that we do really well in Anderson County High School. There's some things we're definitely going to work on and we have room to improve just like any other school does. Um advanced placement program. So, you know, we had 81 students that were considered AP scholars last year. That's a huge percentage if you really think about it in the grand scheme of things.

006312 exams passed for one 10,000 plus college hours. We had 196 students that earned college credit last school year just through the AP program. That's not counting dual credit. So, that's a bunch more. Uh approximately $475,000 in college savings for families. And if you look at the course performance, we give 19 AP courses right now at ACS. 13 scored above the state average. 13 scored above the global average. Six courses had a 100% pass rate and 14 classes had over an 80% pass rate. You know, they're meeting the bar. And um I think last year or year before maybe I shared some information. This only comes out every few years, but it shows how our students are doing compared to other students when they go into college. And our kids were outperforming students in every

007category when they go to college. And I really think that one of the big reasons for that is this right here, the AP program that we offer to, you know, I don't know the another rural school system that has an AP program that's as robust as ours is. So, I want to thank you for your support for that. The other thing I would be remiss if I didn't mention was our arts program. Um past you two years ACS had three students except to the governor's um school for the arts. We had all state choir honores. Um in 2012 we had two 13. 2024 we had eight. 2025 we had 13. And this past year we had 19 allstate choir honores. So it just keeps getting better and better and better. Uh we maintain distinguished ratings

008at KMA district assessments over the last decade and according to Mr. Bride, our biggest accomplishment was performed at the 2026 KMA conference and I know several of you got to see that. It was phenomenal. So I did throw the picture in there. It doesn't get any better than that, guys. That was amazing uh amazing thing for our for our coil program. also our band. Um, multiple years straight appearing in the KMA state finals, all state band. Uh, consistent distinguished ratings at KMA district assessments. They participated in the bands of America. And they've also performed in the governor's parade on several occasions. Theater program, annual fall and spring musical, fall play this year was Sleepy Hollow. If you didn't get to see it, you missed out. I would encourage you anytime any of these programs have

009something that is going on, you've got to go see them. It's like to me it's like going to a professional event and all you got to do most of the time is is just make a donation. So it's great. Um the spring musical will be coming up here in about a week. So I'm going to shoot a plug out for that. Make sure you come out and see that. Mama mia. And between the cast tech crew and musicians, we have probably I would say roughly if you count everybody 100 to 150 students participating in that production. So, it's just amazing what they do. Of course, there's a picture of the band there. And then again, uh, ACS and the Wizard of Oz from last year. The last thing I'm going to talk about is just

010the culture of our school. And this is just a slide. It doesn't really have anything on. It's just some pictures. But, um, I think all the kids would have told you if they were in here. We have a great culture. Um, Mr. Ser's there every day. He's hooping and holling with the kids, high-fiving. Um, I think, let's see, did I have the one in here? H I thought I had the one in here with Ricky Ricky Spalding and and Officer Lyens dressed up as uh Santa Claus and and Buddy they off. So I mean it you know this is students welcome our freshman in uh to Bearcat Bazaar on the first first couple of weeks of school showing them the the uh clubs that they can get involved in. This is a pep rally we

011had for homecoming. This is one of this I think that's Mr. S isn't it I believe and he's battling it out. So you can see the teachers get involved with the students. Uh this was at the actual Bearecat Bazaar where a couple of our um theatrical students dressed up and try to get uh people signed up to to perform in the play. Also the welcome back and uh up in the top right that is actually uh JAG interviews that took place a couple of weeks ago. So the community was in doing that. Our community always helps us, but I think the culture of our school and just the culture of our community, that's what makes ACS a special place. Do you guys have any questions for me? >> Looks like you're doing a good job.

012>> Yeah, we appreciate it. >> Are the teachers are >> It's all the teachers and the kids. Uh, next up we have maintenance update. Uh, Terry Drury or It doesn't say Josh Why, but I guess I'll let Josh talk. So, I'm going to tag team with Mr. Drury here. he and I got together and sort of put together a a list of items u that maintenance related items that could take place, need to take place, would be good if they took place. Um and and that's what you see right there on the the action plan list. And you'll see there's some dollar figures on some of them and some of them there aren't dollar figures. And I'll talk about that here in just a second, why there is and why there isn't. So that's a

013list you have. Some of these costs we know or we have a reasonable estimate for. Um, and some of them we we don't know what they're going to be until we bring a professional in and get some more uh information about that. And as we were talking through this, we were trying to come up with what's number one, what's number two. And so this is sort of roughly put together as a priority list, but I really think about it in three different parts. Um, one part would be the priority projects. and they could be done in really any order for the most part. Some beneficial projects and that those are things that it'd be really great if we could. Um it would enhance something whether that's a athletic facility, whether that's an academic facility, whether

014that's um controls for uh classroom heating and ventilation, you know, so it's a beneficial, it's not a mustdo, and then some equipment replacements. I'm going to talk through those just very briefly with you and then Mr. Dury can answer any technical questions. So, in terms of priority projects, items one, two, and three on that list would be what he and I had deemed as priorities. And so, I'll bounce back. Um, so you can kind of see that. That's number one, the crack monitoring and possible repairs response. Number two, uh, black top maintenance and repair. And number three, some water intrusion maintenance and repair. So, those be priority projects for us. Four, five, six, and eight are beneficial projects. You know, if we could get to them or if we can make them happen, that's good.

015So you can see uh some overflow parking at Turner, mechanical and electrical components and controls on number five, lighting upgrades on number six, and then number eight, some athletic stuff. And we've kind of been picking some of these off as we've gone along over the last couple of years. And then the last thing is going to be equipment replacement. That's number seven. Over the last two years since I've been here, um as a finance officer and talking with Mr. Jury, we've done something out of every one of these buckets at different points in time. and I would like to continue that. And so that's kind of where we're at and we've got some funding available for that and I'll talk about that here in just a minute as well. So in terms of blacktop maintenance

016and repair, Mr. Jury went around and snap some photos for us to kind of get an idea of what we're talking about. It's been a while, right? And it's time. The biggest picture on there is the project that's going to come up. Um, couple of bullet points down in the agenda. That's over at the East Wing Annex in the front where the pickup in the afternoon is for all of our parents who drive through and pick up their students. And I hear about that. My wife works over there. I hear about that quite regularly as well. A water intrusion roof repair. We've done one project or started one project over at the high school already on the annex uh to try and do some repair there. You guys approved that a couple months ago. I

017don't think that's finished yet. Is that correct? Or it's in progress? It's in progress still, but just some issues that we need to get addressed there and kind of get ahead of if we can. And then some equipment replacement. You see a couple things on the list. That's forklift and skid steer. And I believe when we had a lot of ice, Mr. Dur can speak to this, but they were out in that skid steer and it was pretty dog on cold. And you can see it does not have an enclosed cab. Um, I would not want to do that work. I'm glad he does and I'll stay in my office. So, we appreciate that. And then funding wise, uh there's four different ways we could fund some of these projects. And number one is really

018what we'll be doing a lot of. And you guys have probably heard me say we're going to do this with capital funds requests or we'll be getting to that with the capital funds request. And probably next month or the month after you'll see the list of all the capital funds requests come in and we'll make the transfer of those funds. But that's bringing money over from the capital outlay fund and the building fund into the general fund to just replenish the costs we had. Uh, number two would be some residual construction funds. When we wrap up and and completely close out the HVAC project from the middle school in Safel, I think we're going to have some residual funds left over from that that we can do um use to address some of these needs.

019Number three would be some other restricted funds that have been restricted in previous years, whether that's been devoted to an SFCC offer down the road or um something else that got restricted at a previous fiscal year. There are some restrictive funds that are out there. We could bond if we needed to. And I reached out to uh Kelly Merik, our uh fiscal agent, this last week and asked her to send me some updated bonding capacity numbers. And using the revenue from fiscal year 26 this year we have a bonding capacity of approximately $36 million currently. And if you look at next year's potential revenue which we don't really have yet but we have an estimate of um we would have a bonding capacity next year with that revenue projection of about 52 million. Now I

020did put a little note there at the bottom. Uh you guys know this is going on as well. I asked her when she put together these estimates to leave funds available for us to do a CFR process to purchase school buses and pay for our property insurance. Um you all know that a school bus doesn't cost $85,000 anymore. It cost $160,000. And you know our property insurance isn't $110,000, it's $546,000. Um, so anytime we can use some of those other funds to to take care of those costs and not pull them directly from the general fund, that is really a bonus for me and for all of our employees as well. Uh, to be able to to continue continue with salary enhancements as we move forward. So that is that is it. I think I

021was shorter than Mr. Ser if that's the mark of we're trying to meet this tonight. Any questions for Mr. Jury or myself? the black. >> Turn on your mic. on the black top needs. You know, I'm getting old and I forget, but I had a friend that was in the road business and one of the things if I'm I want you to remind me if I'm thinking this and I'm thinking correctly, but one of the things I remember him telling me I think unless I like I said, it's been a while since he told me is whenever you do a black top job, uh he says the worst First thing you can do is just go in there and throw coat of a layer of black top over old black top because what happens is

022the base underneath the black top is sunk down and that's what caused the black top to give away. Is that you is that a truth or >> There is a lot of truth to that, Mr. Sarge. Uh if the base is failed, >> then that's going to be a problem. If it's not, then you can get away with going in and putting top coats on it and moving ahead. >> Well, and I also got one other comment. You know, y'all know how conservative I am and and gripe and and I even I put off at my own home and I just put off and put off. But it's been a few years. It's time we've got to get some of this maintenance stuff done and, you know, move on. We have to We have to

023bond to get it done. We got to get it done. I mean, I see the pictures of the roads and and I've seen I've seen the cracks over at the middle school and it's just time. We just got to spend money and we just got to get it done. I mean, it's no putting off anymore. It's just time. We got to do it. >> I was looking at the at the list and I didn't take it all in. I was trying to write some and watch and listen at the same time and I don't multitask very well with my age. Uh, do we have something that just shows us what are the what is what's one or two at each of the campuses? Like is the parking lot is that a one at the high

024school? That would be if you were doing one thing that would be the one thing. What would be number two on that list? that we want to put a a priority on it. He and I kind of went through campus by campus by campus to try and do this. And we do think that and tell me if I'm wrong if I'm speaking out of turn here because I am not the maintenance guy. Okay. Um the annex at the high school is number one. And so if you look at black top maintenance or repair go A to G on that list, we feel like that is the order we would like to go in if at all possible. So, we really backed into last time something was done at that particular campus that he could recall

025because I would not recall that. And then when that building was built and then the use that that campus gets. Um, so if you think about number two on there you see is the student parking lot and then or C B is HHS student parking lot is C is the front parking lot. The volume of traffic that's at that building is incredibly higher compared to some of the other buildings. And that student lot, I was an assistant principal for 11 years. I was a student for several years there, too. Four to be exact. And worked there as a teacher for a while. And I do not recall that student lot being done since I worked in that building. And I started working in that building in ' 06. And I could be wrong. You tell

026me if I'm wrong. >> Okay. So, those are things that we try to back up and say, well, if you've got, you know, a thousand cars there for a basketball game, 2,000 cars there for a football game, we're hosting graduation there, lots of traffic. So it just makes sense. Um middle school and >> coming off band band's out there. That's another thing that we >> I get I get it at least once a week. >> And so we you know we've talked through some of that to try and make sense of and put in a in a in an order of op of operation going on there if you will. >> I guess I'd just like to see everybody get something addressed. And I know it's hard financially because I'm with Mr. sergeant here on

027the I'm being >> financially frugal, but if we don't have some kind of a plan on >> Yep. >> then we're just hitting whenever we see the parking lot's got to be fixed, we hit the parking lot, but these other these other plates that we're spinning, >> where are they in the mix as far as >> getting something fixed? >> Sure. And so to that very point, if you think about number seven, equipment replacement, um last year you guys approved a new floor scrubber for every single school in the district. that wasn't a let's just go to the one that had the old every one of them got a new one. Um, so you know that answer your question. >> Okay. So, sorry. >> So, like like down here where it says it says uh

028uh field maintenance. Yes. >> $50,000. >> Yes. >> Where is that in the mix? So you uh >> what I'm concerned about is >> we want to support all of it. >> Absolutely. >> We understand we can't. So how do we how do we say okay the the high school the number one priority is it's the parking lot. >> Okay. But what are the other priorities? What's the one if we've got money to be able to address something? I know the middle school has an issue there with the walls and the cracking. Is that the next issue? >> So So you got one, two, and three which would be the priority projects, right? And and this is where you want me to commit to something and I don't know that I'm going to. One, two,

029and three would be priorities. If if you end up in a life safety issue, then we get that done for sure. If it's not a life safety issue, we take the recommendation of the professional and go from there. U so as Mr. Sergeant said, it may be that number one costs more money than we can pay for cash with. So maybe we need to bond it and make it a longer term thing. Um, we can spend $50,000 on a parking lot this year, spend 50,000 next year, spend 100,000 next. You know, we can just continue that process and keep going. Athletic field maintenance-wise, um, the football field, the softball field, and the baseball field, correct me if I'm wrong, have all had some sort of maintenance update upgrade in the last two years. Um, soccer

030field would be next at the high school campus. soccer field at the middle school would probably be the next one down that list. We're really out of fields after that. The football practice field at the middle school, we're waiting on a contractor to come back and finish up some repair work there and get or not repair work, finish work. I don't know what you want to call it. We're holding their check um till they get that right. So I to your point I think we are trying to spread that out as best we can and meet needs and and prioritize in a way that is not a priority written down but you know what I mean we're not just going to one place and doing it all I guess is the goal. >> I spoke

031to the engineer about the cracks at the middle school at KSBA conference and one of the things the lady told me was they were monitoring that to see If if it's a slow process, then they they may recommend that you go in there and fill the cracks and sort of. If not, if it's a rapid thing, then you're going to have to go up underneath the school and you're going to have to dig down and you're going to have to put pillars under the school and jack it back up. Uh, and that that would be the worst part of it. And uh as I told her, I said, "I I seen it myself and it doesn't look it it's it looks very bad, you know, when you walk through a school and you see the

032walls and especially parents not knowing what's going on. I can see where they could be concerned. Um, you know, I had a call from a parent. That's how come I went there and looked at it and uh I went over, you know, but I did make a point to speak with our engineer at at our conference and asked, you know, just briefly listen what they were doing >> and they'll be back next month. Is that correct? Uh, I believe Suzanne's going to be here next month, our architect, to give an update on that particular issue and see where we're at with the monitoring and the the recommendations they have. It moves a quarter inch on the footer up there. It's in crack. Thank you, Terry. >> You done a good job. Great job. Next up,

033we have the summer food uh service program uh 2026. Uh food service director uh BJ Gritten is requesting approval for uh summer feeding program to begin on May 26th, 2026 and close July 4th, 2026 or close July 4th, 2020 and end on July 31st, 2026. Somebody's going to have to tell me what that sentence is. >> Oh, July 4th because it's 4th of July is closed that day. >> Oh, okay. >> And it'll end. So, it'll go May 26, 2026 through July 31st, 2026. Uh meals will be served uh on site at Emma Ward. Uh mobile site for grab and go uh pickup at 16 sites and uh or mobile at the library and water park. uh changes enhancements for 16 mobile uh non-ongruent uh meal pickup sites to include the seven full uh week

034breakfast and lunch reimbursement for Saturday and Sunday uh meals uh are all uh profit after accounting for direct cost of the food. Uh this helps recover the losses uh for the NTI days. So, as you know, we're very blessed to have Miss BJ and her staff work super hard. They've done this program for several years. Um, she's requesting permission to go ahead and and open May 26, which is, um, right after Memorial Day, Miss BJ. And, um, as you see, um, take off Fourth of July like everyone else, and then, um, finish for the summer, July 31st.

So, let me start off by saying um nobody wants to pay more for anything, but unfortunately that that's pretty close to where we're at at this point in time. So, just keep that in mind as I'm going through this uh information about daycare and preschool. Very importantly, our daycare and our preschool programs, they provide a very valuable service to our community day in day out. They uh they have the littlest kids in the district and they provide a great service and they have got to have long-term stability. We've

044got to get that in place for them. It's very important for student success and for availability of the workforce. uh because if our children don't have anywhere to go, parents can't go to work. From 2021 22 until really this school year, um federal grants have helped support our preschool and our daycare programs. Those are ESR dollars. We've talked about ESR dollars. We've talked about ARPA. All those things, it's all expired, all gone. Daycare and preschool programs will exhaust their savings account. um not right now but very soon if changes are not made and preschool funding from the state and the federal level is flat and personnel costs are not student needs are not flat. Everything we're doing is increasing and our local funding that we can produce based on tuition students is limited by space

045um and how many kids qualify. If you have more qualifying kids, you have less tuition space. If you want to open more tuition space, you have to have more classrooms. If you want to have more classrooms, you need another teacher, another aid, which costs more money, right? So, that's kind of where we're at with our tuition uh program or with our daycare and preschool. So, fund 52 is our daycare. Um it is an enterprise fund and all that means is it should not cost the district money. It should make money or break even. It's very much like the food service fund. Uh it should be self- sustaining. It should take care of itself. Down at the bottom of that that particular slide, you can see our estimated revenue this year for fund 52 is $567,300

046and the expenses are 845264. Now, I told you guys when we were building our budget that we were going to have to come up to this point and make these decisions and I was fine with this when we started because federal dollars had allowed us to put up a really big balance in the daycare fund. And I'll talk a little bit more about that um in a few slides. Actually the next slide, but that means you have a structural deficit there. You have a deficit of about $275,000. 277964. So just kind of gaming this out. If you look at where you're going, and this is on the handout I gave you, too. It's off on the right hand side if you want to see it closer. You can look on your screen. Either one. In

047July of 25, July of this year, um, daycare started with $736,786 in the bank. That's where they were at. We added $179. We added $5,700. We added $4,400 in August and September. October, you see it goes to negative. In October, we expended the last federal dollar that was dedicated to daycare. So then you started seeing us spending local money. starts going down. Uh because at that point our tuition is not covering the cost, right? So I'm projecting uh as you go down through there at about $35,000 a month starting in February as a projection. All those others before that are actual dollars going down. So at the end of this year, the daycare uh fund balance will be about $458,000. $459,000. It's still a healthy amount of money. Still good. We're still all fine. And

048that's why I said when we did our budget last year, we'll be fine for this year. Knew what was going on. We knew we were going to be okay for this year. If you look at the right hand side of that screen, you started with 458,000. And I'm projecting, okay, I'm making an estimate here based on this year's cost to next year's cost with a little bit of an increase for salaries u because we know that's going to happen even with just step increases. you would basically be out of money at the end of next year in the daycare fund if we continued at the rate we are at which is why I'm up here talking right now about this proposal. So that's the daycare fund. You'd spend about $455,000 next year to go through

049that process or lose or not lose but overall spend an extra 455 preschool revenue and expenditures. You get state money for preschool. You get federal money for preschool and you get local money for preschool. So, we got three revenue streams for preschool. You can see the state dollars. They're kind of bouncing up and down a little bit there, but they're really nothing major increase wise except for 0304 to 0405. Some of that's based on who qualifies. We don't really know that number. Sometimes they don't give more money for preschool, sometimes they do. Uh it's one of those things when you hear uh the the state legislative body talk, they're not going to put any more in preschool. we're not going to put any more in um professional development. We're not going to put any more

050in this. We're not going to put any more in that. So, it's just it's it's not a dollar figure that we can count on growing in a large amount. The federal money is literally the same, right? It's $103,000 1023. And then the local you see bumps up there this year. And when I'm projecting that's an estimate of about 118,000 over about 65 last year. It's because we added an extra classroom to try and get some more tuition students available. Um, that's one of those double-edged swords where if you add more, then you got to have more personnel and so it costs more. All that kind of stuff. You'll see the preschool revenue projection for this year is about $719,000 with our cost at about 705. So that puts them about $15,000 of the good. They're

051going to about break even is what's going to happen with preschool this year. That's what I'm projecting. The thing with preschool that becomes a little bit tough if you don't have spots. And Miss Ratliff could speak more to this than I can, but she's told me more than once, we we can't get to capacity on day one because if a student moves in who qualifies for preschool, we need to have a spot available for them. We don't know who's going to move in, who's going to come. Um, so we need to try and keep a little bit of a buffer there. So that's one of the reasons you can't get all the way at capacity. And our staffing costs here include some of those services that preschool students receive. Um we don't pay the full

052cost out of preschool funding because it also benefits other students in the district, but occupational therapy, physical therapy, um special ed. So that's accounted for in the preschool revenues and expenditures estimates. So I was trying to do the same thing for preschool that I did for daycare. It's a little bit more difficult because I don't know exactly how much money we're going to get in the preschool funding yet for next year. So the the top row of estimates I assumed a four-year average last four years going into next year. If we had a four-year average of revenue, I think preschool will be a problem next year. You see it's a negative 101,000 in terms of cost over uh revenue. If we look at the same revenue, which makes a little more sense because we have

053roughly the same number of qualifying students and we can keep our tuition spots open, we would bring in about 719,000. And again, I'm assuming a little bit of a raise. I don't know what that is yet, but I had to make an estimate. Um, so we would be over revenue in terms of expenditures next year by about 27 28,000. Then I had to make some other assumptions to try and build this and come up with a reasonable estimate and and a number to recommend and all that kind of stuff. Um, so for 2526 at the bottom of the screen, assuming we have 44 students in preschool per day in in one classroom, you can go to 24 max in the morning, 24 max in the e in the afternoon, that's 48. But you heard me

054say we got to leave a spot in case somebody moves in. So I use 44 as my number. Cost per student in one classroom is about 2,670. That's for the teacher, the aid, and the related services. That's not the building. That's not the custodian. That's not all the other things that we provide as a district. We're charging $1,800 for preschool tuition currently. And then I just sort of played that out with some increases going across to 2030, 2031. Um you can see that bumps up to 2,800 and then 3,000 and 3100 and 3,300 and 3500. So costs are going to increase to provide the services um is what's going to happen. the uh daycarees and preschool are not interchangeable. But if you're looking to make a comparison at what other folks in the the community

055and the state offer in terms of child care, you have to sort of look at other daycarees. It's hard to look at other preschools that are just preschools in a in a school setting because they're going to be doing the same thing we're doing, trying to maximize all the dollars they can bring in. But if you look at four local centers that are private care, private operated here in our our district for preschool, on average, they charge about 18375 a week. That's about what they charge. The two slides are the two pictures to the right. That's from 2024 from the childcare aware council. And I know it's kind of small on there, but I can tell you the one that says Salt River region that included uh Anderson, Breen Ridge, Bullet, Harden, Grayson, and some

056other counties. For some reason, they didn't put us in the Bluegrass region. I don't know why that was. So, I included the Bluegrass region to come up with some value here. The average cost for full-time uh child care for preschool age kids was between 158 in the Salt River region to 186 or 187 in the Bluegrass region. So somewhere in that 160 to 190 if you will in 2024. Now I didn't I don't have updated numbers for 2526 but one can only make the assumption that it's probably a little more than that at this point. If you're looking at school age, um, child care full-time weekly between 132 and 153 and then part-time, which would be like wraparound care for us. So, we'd be talking about anywhere from 98 to 150 or 90 to 120

057depending on the age of the kids. So, again, keep that in mind as I'm starting to to get to where we look at these proposals. Um, we are providing services for way less than that currently. way less like half in some cases maybe. There we go. So, I'm going to give you three proposals and you've got them in front of you and I've I've I've colorcoded them because there's a whole lot to it. You know, there's just all a lot of numbers on there and there's a lot going on. Uh but kind of the summary of each of the proposals. The purple proposal on the top page you have there, it's got purple. It says proposal one would take three years to phase in increases. We'll continue spending savings, which is what we're doing right

058now. Continue spending those savings out of the savings account in year one and year two. Year three, you come above board, make a profit, if you will. Year four, you're about even. And then year five, we're back to spending savings. And I'm going to go into them in a little more depth here in just a minute. The blue proposal on the second page or the back of the first one there, that takes a little bit longer to phase in the increases. Four years instead of three. Years one, two, and three we're spending the savings. Four is a profit. Five were back to the savings. And you'll see what the difference is in that one here in just a minute. And the proposal three just says, you know what, tear the band-aid off, if you will,

059to use that terminology. Go ahead and jump to a higher rate and stay there. Just be be there. Years one and two, you make a little money in a profit. Three, four, and five, you spend it down. Now, all of these proposals are based on estimates, historical information that I've looked through, that I've tried to evaluate. Um, I would be monitoring them by year by year by year for accuracy to make sure we're not going to be, you know, in the red in daycare or preschool because we don't want general fund dollars to have to to go back and fill that gap. That's the goal. We've been there. Miss Mitchell's told me about it. I've heard you guys talk about it because I've worked in the district long enough. That's not something we want to

060be doing. We want these things to sustain themselves if we can. Year six and beyond, which will be the 2031 school year. If I'm still in this seat, I'll come back and tell you the same things again. If I'm not and I'm somewhere else, somebody else will be telling you this. But year six and beyond, we'll have to reevaluate. We'll have to see where we're at dollarswise, what kind of services we can provide. And the other caveat I've got for all this is if for some reason universal prek was enacted, we'd have to back up and relook at all of it because then we would have a totally different set of rules we're trying to play by. So, just the the thought process here is proposal one, proposal two, proposal three. I'm going to go

061through um all three of those in a little bit more depth for you. So, proposal one in the purple goes from this year's cost for all day full-time care at $100 a week, we would jump to 150. And I'm only really going to talk about um full-time and wraparound because that's our biggest two that we really operate with. Some of the other ones happen um just because we have ENT hour, we have snow days, whatever. But $150 a week full-time in 2627, $60 for wraparound. At those rates, I would project that we would bring in about 795 796,000 and we would still spend um more than that, right? We would lose some of our savings again next year. And on that top sheet you have off on the right in the first green box about

062halfway down the sheet you can see that we would start the year with about $458,000 and we would end the year with about 361 next year if all of my assumptions hold true and we went with this proposal increase in year number two in 2728. we would jump to $175 a week for full-time care and $70 a week for full-time wraparound care. That's your school age children wrap around. That's pretty close to a break even year. That's really what that is. And so the next year in 2829, we'd be at 195 a week for full-time care, $80 a week for wraparound. And as you heard me just say, that's basically where everybody else is right now. So, three school years from now, I'd be talking about getting to where everybody else is currently in terms

063of the charges that they have. And then we would stay there at 195 and 80 for the two school years after that. At the end of the 2030 2031 school year, bottom right of the page, um my projection would be that the daycare fund is still in the positive to about $328,000. That's based on all of my assumptions that I'm making and these numbers and the same number of kids coming in, staffing going up just a little bit, all that kind of stuff. So, that's proposal number one. I'll pause for a minute. Any questions on that one. Is this something we need to make a decision on tonight? Because this is really important. You know, I've got two sons and they both have children in daycare and I'm amazed at what the cost is from

064daycare. Travis and I were talking about this before the meeting. You know, when we had our children and we had our children late, you know, my wife quit her job because we looked at this and thought she's working for nothing. By the time we pay for daycare or preschool for three kids, she's working for nothing. This is really a a a tight decision, but we can't we can't afford to be in a negative balance either, >> right? >> I don't know if you just go cold turkey and say start next year. There has to be a some kind of a a kind of a grow into this kind of a thing. So folks who are participating have a chance to make adjustments and kind of think about pray about look at their financial situation and

065say what what do we need to do to make sure this works for us as a family because this is really daycare is is tough. I'm amazed at what our son in Northern Kentucky pays for daycare for a week's daycare. I'm thinking like wow that's amazing. >> Yes sir. My question is the percent. >> I don't have that exact number, but I'm going to address that on down. If you and if I don't answer your question, we'll come back to it. I'm not going to address the percentage, but I'm going address how we would address employees. I work up to the little raise that we always recall. many years. Children are in I like the way you got the proposals. I mean, going with number one, slowly implementing kind of give them time to adjust

066holding us our bank account. When they take money away from us, we got to come up with it some. >> So, That's propo that's proposal one. I'm gonna answer Mr. Carmichael's question the best I can there. You do not have to make a decision tonight. That would be my first thing. But to your point, this is not I'm not saying let's start this tomorrow. The we're talking about August. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Even going through the summer, Miss Mitchell and Miss Mr. Harley and I we we sort of talked through this. In a in a really ideal world, July 1 would be for me the fiscal year start. So, let's just go ahead and do that. But knowing that we have parents who need to make decisions, August makes more sense, right? Let's get through

067July. Let them anybody who was planning on using our summer care, they know the rate already for the start of the new school year. This will be a change. That's what we're talking about. Um, so no, tonight doesn't have to be the decision, but the sooner we can let people know what we're doing and what needs to be done, the the sooner we can get that information out. To Mr. Sergeant's answer. I'm looking at the list of students that are at Emma Ward Daycare and she has highlighted and colorcoded for me. Um 19 of the 92 in some capacity are staff children. So 19 of 92 uh probably 23 24% there maybe. And they all have varying levels. They may be a wraparound. They may be a preschool. They're you know so I don't know

068all that right off the top of my head. Um so we are talking about some staff children. Yes. and I'm going to propose a discount for them uh towards the end of my presentation. So, proposal one, three years to get there at the higher rates or at the highest of the rates. Proposal two would take four years to get there. U so in the first year next year, $135 a week for full-time, $60 for wraparound. Again, uh you're going to go down a little bit in your savings balance for that particular year. Year 2 2728 you go to $150 and $70 for wraparound. Year three 175 for fulltime, $80 for wraparound. And then four years from now we'll be at the full increase of 195 uh for full-time and 85 for wraparound. So it take

069four years to get there. You can see again off on uh the bottom of that is the blue proposal on the back of the the first page there. At the very bottom right is going to tell you where I think the fund balance for the daycare fund would be five years from now. Blue proposal bottom right $165,000. So if we take longer to get there, you're just spending into your savings a little bit longer. That's what's happening. Um and so you're going to spend more of it. I mean that's just reality of it. The longer you take coming out of the savings account, um the more you're going to spend. Year four. And that proposal is the only year that I think we break break a profit, you know. Um, so that's again what we're

070trying to do is not cost the the general fund any money on daycare and have some long-term sustainability for them. Proposal three, which is the yellow proposal on the uh third page or the front of the second, this is the the take the band-aid off and just go ahead and start right away. But what it does is it never gets above 175 for full-time and $80 for wraparound. So there is a greater increase in the first year and in subsequent years, but we don't change after that. So go to 175 for full-time care, $80 for wraparound care, and you can see in years one and two, we show a little bit of a profit most likely. 3, four, and five, we're we're spending savings. Again, bottom right, 342,000 is where I would project that daycare

071fund to be five years from now. What I don't want to do is project a daycare fund balance of a zero because if something happened in between now and then, uh, for example, all of our daycare employees contribute to county employees retirement system, CRS. When I first took this position, CRS's contribution from the employer side was 24%. it's going to go down to 17% next year. It's gone it's gone down each year. They can raise that right back up. So, you know, we I don't know some of the things that that are going to happen. So, I'm just trying to to give uh based on historically what we've done. So, those are your three daycare proposals. and you your preschool is a a little bit of a separate ball game here because it's not part

072of the enterprise fund. But I follow the same pattern um on preschool increases following the the same thought process there using a three-year phase in a four-year phase in or increase and maintain. Um, and you can see looking at that, proposal one would be to take us to $2,700 next year for preschool, which is down payments of 300, or go proposal two a little bit slower to get there, $2430. Proposal three, um, jump right in at 3150 and just stay at that that same pace. So that's preschool. In terms of employees, Mr. Sergeant, I would propose that any employee who is using a daycare service would receive a 50% discount over whatever the price is. Whatever you all decide, 50% discount for employees for daycare services. Um, traditionally, we've not done any kind of preschool

073discount. That's just what it is. Um, so I would just leave that at whatever the preschool tuition is is is what would be paid. So, daycare services 50% off if they're going to preschool and also utilizing um daycare as well to get full day coverage. I would offer a 35% discount if they're paying for preschool. If they're qualifying for preschool, not paying, then their daycare service would be whatever that cost is. So, really what I'm trying to do with a paid tuition is get to an average cost if at all possible. um that's roughly in that $175 $185 a week cost. And then for sibling discounts, you can see if they have multiple children, we would offer some discounts for that as well. We're going to leave it up to to Steve and them, but

074I I think two would be the way to go. It gives and if we do it now, it's going to give more time to plan instead of throwing it at them a month month before we implement it. It's going to spread it out farther, less That's cost to over years ago. >> Yes, sir. That is correct. And we are made we general fund or what we get out. >> Yes sir. That's a great question. So um with audits annually comes you know the end result of the additional um need and or whatever the end balances in any of the um pots of money of which um we have and so annually if we do overspend the budget for daycare and or preschool it automatically comes out of the general fund. So back then we did

075choose to u make some some big decisions about reducing staff. Um we also um looked at the salary schedule um we had several full-time folks. We reduced that um and made some decisions that way. So the first two years um across the district we reduced all spending 4%. We reduced all staffing to the state allocated allocation um guidelines and we looked at the amount of children we had enrolled and uh as compared to the number of um staffing that we had. We ended up riffing some staff members meaning being laid off and then when other positions come available they were offered those positions. So that was a lengthy process that we went through. It took us several months. I worked very closely with staff to ensure that we um you know worked through what suggestions

076um that the administrative team um preferred and then together that those decisions were made. That's a great question. Um and that was um within the first two years um of my superintendency in 2010 and 2011 potentially 2012. So that's been a while. Um, some of you all that have been on the board for a little while may potentially remember that, but that was the process that we took. Does that answer your question, Mr. Sergeant? feel better when you >> I know it's been a it's been a while >> I knew we know we were in the so on on I'll make a motion to go with proposal two. >> My recommendation. I'll second motion two or proposal two. I just don't think we can we can put proposal three on them. Uh, I think that's

077too much for what I think that's just too much ask right now with the uncertainty of the economy. It's I would rather take the blow than hit them hard. Um, I know. Well, we may make adjustments, but we've got abilities to do that. So, uh, >> I'd be happy to. It's on the back of the first sheet of paper I gave you there, Mr. Sergeant. In the first year, we would go from $100 for full-time care to 135. We're $100 now. We go to 135. We are at $45 for wraparound care. Currently, we would go to 60. The other prices there are marginal increases. And like I said, the majority of people pick full-time care or wraparound care. In the 2728 school year, we' be 150 a week for full-time care and $70 a week

078for wraparound care. And then in the 2829 school year would be 175 for full-time care, $80 for wraparound. In the 2930 and 3031 school year, they would be the same at $195 for full-time care and $85 a week for wraparound care. In the 2930 school year, we would be at the same pricing that other local centers are at right now. And just to give a little perspective on the cost, we've won 11 district championships since Ellie Sha was four years old. My son is the same age as Ellie Sha. They're both freshman. When Parker went to preschool at Sparrow Early Childhood Center, it was $1,800 for preschool. 11 years ago, it was $1,800. And today, it is $1,800. That's a heck of a bargain if you think about it. That in 11 years, um, you

079could send your next kid if they're 11 years apart at the same price you did your first one, right? I don't know anything else in the world that stayed the same for 11 years in pricing. Definitely not in the childcare world for sure. Um, so that it's it's due time for for something to change. I'm willing to take whatever proposal you got there. I just know that we don't need to be coming and and talking about dipping into the general fund to sustain preschool or daycare. >> So, where are we on our balance with this with proposal number two? Where are we as far as >> Okay. >> dipping into our >> Yep. proposal number two. Um, if you look at the green boxes on your sheet there, so you're on the blue sheet, green

080boxes are in the middle of the right, we would be I'm projecting starting at about $458,000 next fiscal year. And at the end of fiscal year 27, the 2627 school year, I think we'd be down to about 309,000. Then in the 2728 school year, I think we would drop from 309 to about 28. And then in the 2829 school year, I think we'd go from about 208 to 188. So that's your about break even year, if you will. Fiscal year 30, I think we would increase from 188 to about 205. That's the first year we would really turn a profit. And then in the fiscal year 31, the 2030 2031 school year, I think we would be dipping into the savings account again, starting at 205 and ending at 146. Still a pretty good buffer.

081Maybe not as big as I would always like. I understand exactly what you're saying, though. We don't want to throw giant increases at folks if we don't absolutely have to. Listen, his proposal to the one you would recommend out of those three. >> Okay, just forget it. I'll take it back. >> I just want to make sure that we're covering the base for families at a time. I know we can't be we can't spend money we don't have and we can't keep spending money just because we have it in an account. Like you said, 11 years and it's been the same price. It's just these are really tough times for families. There's a lot of stress on families. Finances being one of the largest parts of that. I know it's just tough on families, but

082again, I understand you can't you can't stay the same. You have to >> you have to do something to be able to address that balance. But out of those three proposals, >> you don't have to. I don't I'll answer you. I'll answer because if it sounds like everybody else believes that's the best proposal. I just >> want to be an advocate for families with kids and I know they do too. So, I'm not saying that. When I started going through all these values and numbers and trying to come up with something, I was I was even higher. I thought we needed to go and match what other folks were already doing and really put that balance in a man just we really want a big number there, right? Anytime we have money in the bank

083from my perspective is better than me worrying about we're going to run out. Um, so me coming at it from the finance officer perspective, I would prefer one because it it's not a big jump all at once, but it's also incremental and it and it it saves us from not getting as close to zero.

But I told you before, I don't want to come in here and say we're not going to do something and then we do it and then I'm back here going, "Oh my goodness, I totally messed up."
