001go on and call this meeting to order at 6 o' 6 6:01 p.m. I'd like to welcome you all. And at this time, we will stand for a moment of silence followed by the pledge of allegiance. I aliance 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. All right. Need a motion for the adoption of the agenda review, but nothing can be changed. Only stuff can be taken off. I make a motion to approve the agenda as written. I'll second. A motion by Miss Hall, second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. Opposed? Motion carries four to zero. Public comments. I don't think there is any. Looks like people signed in but scrunched out.

002Okay. All right. All right. We are on to the finance update. Miss Ellis, consider approval of 10 budget for 2024 2025 school year. All right. So, yes. All right. So, we're going to talk lots of numbers tonight. This is my cup of tea. Okay. So tenative budget we are at the kind of middle piece of our budget but this is what we will start the school year with and it is required um that we submit to KDE by May 30th a tenative budget. So again we are kind of at a snapshot moment. Um we do still don't have all the complete gnomes. We're making assumptions at this point. Um, but just a reminder, this is all the funds that we operate within in a district. And so I've kind of laid those out for you

003to be know what they are. Um, so if we do a summary of all of those funds that were just listed, we are looking at a total budget of 77.7 million between all the different funds. Are there any specific questions that you all want to ask before we jump into each individual sign? Okay. Should not mistake. I think Okay. So, assumptions that we're going to make on the general fund. And the general fund is the fund that is where our tax property tax dollars go. Our SE dollars for our student attendance. that is the bulk of where um that that funds general fund. Other items that go into that are our interest um that we earn on our cash sitting in the bank. Also, a good chunk of money is federal dollars from our Medicaid

004billing. So, that's really the basis of general fund. So in this budget cycle right now that we're talking about, we're making the assumption that we're going to take the compensating rate so that you can see what that looks like if we keep our revenue stream exactly the same as we have operated this year. Um we are required to do the payroll steps which on our budget is approximately a 1% increase. We are also using the allocations that were presented uh the SPDM allocations for our schools in April that the board approved. Um, and then we're still having that 2.35 million set aside um, for rotations of things that may need to be completed throughout the school year of items that might come up such as roof, maintenance, furniture, that type of stuff. This is how

005we replaced all of our playgrounds over the last year. Okay. Can I ask a question about the allocate? So, for like the innovation center, those that staffing since I had asked you earlier and you said that there's no allocation. So, how do we know what where are they included at in the budget? So, they're included in the same area that that allocations are. They just don't have specific ratio numbers such as the SBDM councils. Okay. So, we are dictated by KRS that tells us classroom ratios if you're an SBDM school, which is all of our schools except for Cardinal Innovation Center and preschool. preschool is bound by a different set of ratios based on grant funding with the car funding and head start. Um and then CIC kind of has a unique situation with how

006they are stacked ratio. Thank you. Uhhuh. You're very welcome. Okay. So we try to keep a very conservative budget. Um we are estimating the beginning balance a little over 9 million. We're saying you can see um working budget that we are in right now. You see the the tax dollars that number is exactly the same because we're saying that we're going to take compensating in this budget which would produce the exact same amount of revenue we are operating on right now. Um you will see fluctuations in our seek is the primary area that goes up and that is based on legislation decisions that have been made to increase the per pupil amount um fund transportation at a higher percentage. Um so it's calculations within that C formula that has changed that. Um any questions before

007it's really high overview of revenues. Felicia when you say compensating rate. Yes. Can you explain that so that Yes. So, the compensating rate is something that when we finalize our um school year this year, we report our numbers to the state of what we actually earned in all of our taxes, they will take that number against the property values that are submitted by the PBA office and they will produce a rate that they call the compensating rate that will cause us to earn the exact same amount of money we've collected this year. So, it makes us even. we don't increase our revenue at all. So, it's going to drop our tax rate to whatever would make us be compensating to what we had this year is how that works. Okay. All right. So, with the

008assumptions we have made on staffing and only doing a step raise, um this is how our salaries and benefits have fallen out. We have met with every single principal, every single director and hashed through their budgets um looking at historical spins, initiatives for next year. And we cut the budget as much as we could possibly cut it on the operation side, which is literally about 15%. That's not a whole lot to operate our district on. Our salaries are right at 85% of our budget. And that puts us um with a contingency of 4 4.9 um leaving us at 7.6%. Um again required by law to have a 2% contingency. Accounting best practices is more like 10. So we're kind of um in a good sweet spot at the 7.6. This is a comfortable spot to

009make sure we can cover any emergency situations that may occur. Um any questions in this overview specifically? Okay. So the way that falls out because when we say excess and deficiency of funds, we do not look at what we're rolling into this school year. We are looking at simply what we are going to collect next school year and what we are planning to spend out. Okay? So that's no contingency. That's no beginning balance. It's literally the in and out of just that year. Okay. So, when you peel off beginning balance, we're at 49.8. When you peel off contingency, we're at 54.1. We are in a deficiency of 4.3 million. So, some considerations to that are that set aside. We have that 2.3 5 million set aside that is not necessarily guaranteed we're going to spend

010that. We're setting it aside for emergency situations, but we can kind of peel that back off and say that's a one-time expenditure type thing that's not reoccurring. So, we're going to take that back off. We also have about 2.2 million in what um is being carried over from the schools between their section six monies and some grants that we had to kind of flip into general fund to spend by a certain um deadline percentage. Um, and so when you take that back out, because again, that would be a one-time expenditure next year, we're looking at in excess of $270,000. So, we have done everything we can possibly do that if the board chooses to take the compensating rate. We have met our requirements and we have trimmed our budget back to still be sufficiently budgeted

011for a year. Okay, this is kind of just another summary of the contingency. Um, good question that Mr. Kaiser asks for is why is food service in there? Well, the KRS that calculates um a percentage and tells you how to do that for contingency makes you include food service because that is an operational program that we have to have and we must cover it. So, if they cannot cover themselves, general fund has to cover it. So that's part of our contingency is making sure that that fund is covered. All right. So I just went through a lot of information very quickly. Any questions before we move into some considerations we want to talk about with the budget? Any clarifications needed? Okay. So things that we would like the board to consider is taking the 4%

012revenue increase. And this is revenue increase. We're not talking tax rates right now. We're talking about our revenue on our budget. So by law, we can take a 4% revenue increase without any recall or voter um being voted on by the public. And that will produce estimating if we collect everything in our budget that we have budgeted for this year, if we save 4% added to that, that's an additional $866,000 on our budget next year. Okay. So, one thing I want to make clear is when we start getting into the rate conversation, 4% is not the rate. 4% is our revenue. Okay? That's what the district would benefit from whatever the taxes would be. Okay. So, the rate in all reality, as we saw in the current year we're sitting in, as we're seeing PVA

013values go up, our rates actually going down even though we're still taking that max rate that we are allowed by the state to take. And additionally, the county is observed in re-evaluated within quadrants. So, that's fourths. So, we're going to say only the fourth of the county that's being re-evaluated is most likely going to see an increase in their property values. The other three4s being that if property values overall go up and our rate goes down, they're actually going to see a decrease in their taxes. Now, this is assumptions. This is not reality. I'm not saying that that is what is going to happen, but that's a very good scenario of what could happen come August. Okay. So what this allows us to do though is look at possible salary increases because as you saw

014with how we said if we take the compensating rate our only excess is about 240,000 that is not a sufficient cushion of revenue on a reoccurring budget to give a raise. It it's not possible. Um, so if that is a consideration that we would like to make, I've laid out a couple options anywhere from a 1% to a 2%. Um, and I've broken that down between classified and certified staff. And just to clarify, certified staff is our teaching staff. Those are the ones who hold certificates of I don't know the best way to say it. They hold certificates. So they are certified. Everyone else is considered classified. if you don't hold that teaching certificate, you're classified. Um, but also we have salary folks and hourly folks. So, I've also kind of given an option for

015our hourly staff because a percent raise to them is not equivalent to like a percent raise to someone who has a salary. So, it it's a different um concept there. So, I gave a couple options, but what this looks like if we proposed raises, what this looks like to the staff. So the prior slide showed you what it looks like to our budget. This is kind of what it would result into the staff. So if you did a one or a two on the salary tables, so we're talking the salary tables presented as is if we raise them a certain percentage or a certain dollar cent amount. What it would look like to our staff is more just an example. Well, if you did a 2% raise to certified, it would be more of a

0162 and 12 to a 7% raise depending on where they fall on the step schedule. Okay? And then same thing with classified staff, the hourly rate extra. So questions or discussion here? So there's there's a certain can you explain the annual step like there's a a required? Yes. So we in the past um over the past three years have completely rebuilt all of our salary tables. So, everyone on our salary table is anywhere from a half a percent to a 1% or higher depending on if you hit a certain level and those levels are at year 10 and year 20. Um, so everyone is consistently getting a step. Majority of our staff gets a 1%. If you hit year 10, it's 5%. If you hit year 20, it's um 10%. Or I'm sorry, 8%. I

017just numbers lots of numbers but um so in looking at that it is guaranteed that most of our staff will get a 1% regardless if the board chooses to increase the salary tables as a whole that annual step increase is a 1%. Um the only ones who are at a half a percent is as last year we extended the table from 27 years to 30 years and the amount of money for that level of experience it was a lot to do 1% on our budget. We did not have enough so we did half steps. So there are half step increments as our 27 or 30. So everyone will get some sort of raise with their step. It's just a question of what can our budget handle if we want to give more of a to

018assist them with cost of living and inflation that they are dealing with. But yet we are also dealing with those same situations. Well, we have to raise our revenue. We're trying to help raise their household revenue. We also have to raise our business revenue. Thank you very much. I did understand that. I just want if somebody's listening for them to understand it because it is very complicated and it takes a lot to prep my social work brain around these numbers but I just wanted I think that that's important to know. So there is there is one piece but then what we decide will also potentially yeah help out. So so looking at these numbers where would you feel most comfortable with us? I know. I always You want me ask we've discussed? No. So, I

019I think if if you were asking me for a recommendation, I think that's what I'm asking. Um we have we need to compete with other districts to give raises. Uh the way we win in the classroom um is put the best most highly qualified teachers in front of our kids and not only put them there, but keep them there so that they don't drift somewhere else. Um, Alicia and I've had several conversations and I would recommend that we max out our revenue at 866. Um, I would love to give this the the certified teachers a 2% raise. Um, and then I would probably recommend with your hourly employees looking at at the 85 cents an hour raise because ultimately that's going to pan out to them to be at least a dollar on hour raise.

020Um, and we can say confidently that we believe in our classified staff with so much we're going to give them a dollar an hour more. And that doesn't happen very often if you work hourly rates. Um, and I think it it will it will max out that 866, but I feel comfortable given that we're rolling over 270,000 also. Um, so that would be my recommendation because I think it's the most that we can do and I think our staff deserve it. Thank you. Sorry, I hate putting you all on the spot like that, but in the same sense you deal with the numbers and you No, and it's easy math. I mean, if if our revenue stays the same, we don't have money for raises. If our if we increase our revenue, then this whatever

021we increase it by, that's the number we have. And then you subtract how much raises cost. I mean, that's why we set up the slide that way because it's very transparent. Right. When people ask, "Where are our money going?" It's going to raises for our staff because inflation impacts our district and our district budget, but it impacts our households. Y and we've also looked at comparisons, which I think we sent to you guys on how much costs were with the electric and water and supplies over the past couple years and we're up $660,000 in costs that we've and again we've cut and we living within our means. So I also want the public to understand that we've been very mindful and can run it. We just can't run it. And at my fear of the

022cost of losing staff. So if we do the 85 cents and the 4% I mean do the 4% get 2% teachers 85 cents an hour then that still will make us have to go into a little bit of the other monies. Correct. Correct. But not near as deep. Correct. It puts us at like $9.91. Um so 130 is about half of the rollover and still being mean we were in the positive um on the rollover without touching contingency or our committed monies of 2.3 plus million. If we decided to not give raises except for the step raises and give a bonus you' take that straight out of our contingency fund. But well it depends on um so there's two different questions in that one. You have to increase your revenue. Yes. or it would come

023out of your contingency. Uh, which is not sustainable. Um, if you did your 4% revenue increase, you still have that 8.66 to work with, it would just mean, um, how big of a bonus we're talking, easy math, if you gave a $500 bonus, um, it's going to cost the district almost $300,000. uh $1,000 going way over 600,000 weighing into then what you do with your certified teachers were way over, you know, 1.2 million. It it's just math. Now, it's my understanding with bonuses, aren't they taxed differently and you might not get as much. So, so they are they are taxed um at a pretty high rate, but they also don't count towards the classified size retirement. Um so, it doesn't go towards or certified board certified anyone. It's treated like an extra service essentially. So,

024so like I said, the board does have that option. Yes, ma'am. It just really depends on It can't even be called a bonus, can it? I mean, you can, but you have to establish it at the beginning of the year instead of like midyear. Just establish it within the salary table. We basically we can't back pay it either. So, we can't back pay it. We can't give it for services not rendered yet. Like there's there's a lot of stipulations. we have to actually submit letters to the retirements and say, "Hey, we want to give a bonus." Um, so it's not that it's not doable. There's just a lot of red tape to make it happen as opposed to increasing salary tables. It's much easier payroll. I have just been talked to some employees and that's

025at three different schools and that's kind of what they had said they would choose. So, I just want to throw that out there. I'm surprised cuz when we did that before, they got really upset about being taxed so much. You give a big lump sum, it it takes out a lot of taxes. Yeah. Cuz they and they ended up not getting near what they thought they were going to get and it it did. It cost some water lot of calling. Yeah. Well, you need to get at least a $900 to $1,000 bonus. We did. Yeah. And I know I was I was there. I was working and they still got Yeah, we were always overjoyed with it. I don't I was surprised. I don't know. We got there was a bunch of cuz out of

026900 you got like 700. So it was that was a bonus. Well, it depends on what how your taxes I mean that would household too like right if you're claiming zero or claiming right it depends on your tax elections. Yes. Yeah. I'm a I was a zero person but I just want to throw that out there. I was hoping maybe uh tax rate we could do 3% tax and then just do a bonus this year and maybe go back up next year next year and then do raises is the consideration the board to vote on. Okay. So we don't have to make a decision right this minute in this PowerPoint presentation of the budget but those are considerations that we to think about when we get to the salary tables. So fund two is our

027special revenue or all of our grants. So this is a summary of um current year to next year. I do not book a grant until I have official notice that it has been given to us. So, I mean, we have a lot of assumptions and thoughts that we're going to get grants, but we don't know final numbers yet. So, they are not in this budget yet. All of those will show up when it comes to our working budget. So, this is just quick run through. Um, fund 22 is our district activities and that's basically anything operational at the school level. Um, and fund 25, school activities is our studentbased. So any clubs, athletics, field trips, um fees that we collect, fundraisers go into this. We do not put budgets in the system till money is

028actually collected. Um fund 310 is our capital outlay and it is based on ADA at $100. So with the assumption of um 4,675, we have $467,000 in this account. 20 is um 320 is our building fund. So this is based on our nickels that we have. We have two nickels adopted and matched by the state. Um just kind of bring your attention to the fact that our growth nickel will actually sunset in 2031. So that will affect bonding capacity greatly at that point and our um construction funds, building funds. Yes. I mean we it is already impacting it because we bonds are 20 years out. So 2021 is less than 20 years. So it's already falling off of our bond schedules and the way they project our revenues for us to pay out. Um and

029basically we have less and less capital money. Um so that's kind of an issue we're dealing with. But basically this is our primary budget where we pay all of our bonds when we have built our buildings. And then anything additional which we just talked about it at the main meeting on Tuesday night was that capital request comes from these two funds. So, this is the second time we've talked about this growth, Nickel, and we do we as a board need to start thinking about doing talking about it, doing something about it. So, I I think the best thing and and we're coming with a strategy, but we're trying to work with our state legislature, specifically our two representatives and Senator Elkins and and Representative Dodson, um because the legislature can change that. We're one of

030only 15 districts that's in this situation. Uh, every other nickel in the state of Kentucky is equalizer matched. Okay. But for some reason when we got this one, it was set up differently. Okay. Um, so I I think anytime that you can have conversations with either one of those two gentlemen. Perfect. Um, because that would increase every if we can get it matched, you're basically adding $260,000 per year of revenue that you can bond out 20 years. So, we would go from $17 million that we can bond to almost a little less than 40. It's significant. Um, so I I'm working on that currently. So, any work that we can do with those folks would be greatly helpful. I'm also working with R.J. and Mr. Palmer, sorry, and Compass is our fiscal advisor. So, I

031think they're having some conversations. Yeah, it's a great question. All right. Fund 400 is debt service that we just talked about that the capital funds primarily pay. So these are all of our bonds um in existence right now that we are paying on and that's 4.9 um on our budget. So that is just a summary of that 4.9 and the capital funds we expect to bring in and we are estimating a little over 1.1 million that we could do a capital funds request on next year. So this year was 1.4 um when everything fell out of what we had just requested. Um and that's what we're using for those summer projects for our properties and operations. Okay. So fund 51 is our school nutrition. So assumptions on her budget is she has a decreasing beginning

032balance and this is due to they are required to keep a certain number of months of operating expenses and they are not allowed to go over that because they are not a for-profit company. They are a nonprofit organization along with us and they cannot make profit. So they bound them to certain numbers. So she has been working on a spendown plan from this last beginning balance and she has spent about half of her beginning balance. So, I mean, she's bought a lot of equipment that was needed um for her cafe cafes and so she is doing exactly what KD told her to do, but that will in turn make her beginning balance lower. So, that is kind of the decrease you're going to see in her budget in a minute. Um, we're also still being

033very conservative on revenues, although she's doing very well. Um, we still just kind of be as conservative as we can to not overestimate. And then we have already planned within her budget because again she's they're their own business per se that we are going to increase the hourly rate of our school nutrition staff by 4%. So that is already built into her budget. It will happen regardless of the raise that the board decides on. They will get a 4%. Will they get a 4% even above if No. Okay. Her budget would not be able to sustain that. So her budget is at 4%. Okay. And the revenue increase, none of that goes into her budget. Okay. Right. So that's that's the difference. Yeah. They're a standalone fund and all the way on their own. Um

034so this is kind of a scenario of her revenues. So again, why she's gone down a little bit is really mainly the beginning balance. And then this has the projection of her um raise in there. She has shifted some staff around. So you can see from draft to tenative it actually went down a little bit but she has consolidated some positions to accommodate that 4% raise for her staff. So that's strategy within her budget in the federal revenue. Is there any chance of of her losing any grants or have we heard anything about that? We do not suspect that will happen in the nutrition area. They are actually funded by the USDA, not the department of education. So they are funded by a different department at the federal level. Although it funnels through our department

035of education at the state level from the federal level, it is not. Okay. The department of education mayor department. I heard you say it comes from a different federal level. Comes to the state and comes to the state the department of education to the state, not the federal. Correct. Correct. It's from USDA. the federal level. So the department of agriculture decision should not say the acronym. So our new venture this year was our childcare program. So we are um expanding all the time. We have a weight list. This has been a very um good program that we have implemented here in Clark County. It's had a lot of growing pains. anything new, but it it's we're working through it and it's gotten a lot of positivity for our staff as a benefit. And so, we're

036going to continue that. And um I did not put numbers to a slide for you on this just because we are still um tentatively with how many kids we have and revenues. It's really a hard pinpoint um thing at this moment. But we did, just so that new board members know, we went into this venture knowing it would cost us money because it was an employee benefit. It was a recruitment and retainment. Um, so it is costing the general fund that's in our transfer expenditures a little bit. It is less this year than last from the current year we're in. It'll be less next year. We're only talking about maybe $100,000 in the budget next year, whereas this year it's more like 300,000. So, um, adding that afterare program really has helped fund this program.

037Okay. Um, so future considerations that we don't have pinpointed right now that could change the budget. Um, whatever our final ADA is um that we report on our um, SARS report to the state is what will really determine that seat funding next year. Um, anything that we might have to adjust staffing wise based on enrollment, if we have to add teachers because of that, that would add seek funding, big big calculations. So there, you know, things could change within that. Any legislation decisions that might come up, um, that changes actual PBA numbers, what the board ends up voting on for our tax rate, any new grants we get might allow us to not spend things we can budget it on general fund if we get a grant to cover it. So things like that. Can

038you can you tell us what a AAD stands for? Average daily attend act. Well, what's the first daily attendance? I just called ADA. I'm not sure where the A comes from. It's daily attendance. It's average daily attendance. But the A is average actual average. Actual average. Even though that annual annual bad. And we love our acronyms. Sometimes it's hard to remember what they are. Annual average daily attendance. So the SAR report which is the superintendence report um gets reported and it doesn't and for the whole year annually the average we monitor it every single day. It just takes the yearly which is makes it annual. Thank you for that question. Sorry I didn't know the answer. Which is why attendance matters. So it's not just about how many kids you have enrolled. It's actually how

039the percentage of kids that attend school for the year. We are not funded on enrollment. We are funded on attendance and it makes a difference. But again, that's a legislation thing out there. They're talking about membership and and so legislation can flip a lot of assumptions on their head. And you're talking about state legislation. Yes. State legislation, not necessarily federal. I don't a lot. They're not going to open up those regulations. No, I don't think so at the federal level. Okay. So, next steps. Um, we're going to close the year on June 30th. We'll start um July 1 with this budget that we just talked about. Um, I have to submit my actual final numbers by July 25th to the state. And then u, Miss Brady has to submit the property values on her end.

040And when both of those have been submitted, within 3 days of both of those being certified by KDE, we will get our tax rate reports. Typically, that's about the first or second week of August. Um and then we can start having our u discussion on tax rates. We have 45 days from when we get those tax rates to make a decision. Um and then we will do this budget thing all over again in September and more information. Thank you for making things clear. It it's very helpful. You're very welcome. Does anybody have any more questions for Miss Ellis? No. No. Would anybody like to make a motion to approve approval of the tenative budget? I'll make a motion. Motion by Mr. Cowser. I'll second. Second by Miss Hall. All those in favor say I. I.

041Opposed. Yes. I opposed. All right. Motion carries four to one. And guys, do you have that or do you need me to read them out to you? Got it. Okay. All right. Consider approval of the 2025 2026 school activity budget. So, one of the activities that we must complete for Redbook is to create budgets for that fund 25 that we talked about or student activities. So, these are the school's budgets. Um again like I said we only budget once the monies are actually collected but this is a required element of red book. So um and it says that board must approve it. So if you would please approve these that we are compliant with book. All right. Need a considerable approval of 2025 2026 school activity. But do I need to give each one of

042those individually or just I can do them all at once? Okay. I make a motion to approve. Motion by Miss Hall. I'll second. I need to report to the auditors that we turn them in and then approve them. Okay. One line. That's good. All right. Second by Miss Thomas. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries five to zero. All right. Consider approval of salary tables for the 2025 2026. So the tables that have been presented to you are the exact same tables for this year um because we haven't made a decision and it's a lot of work to do assumptions. So I wanted to not create a million versions and confuse anyone. Um, so this is with the step rates that we just approved in our tenative budget. They can look at,

043you know, what level they'd be on and know what they would make next year for the step rates. Um, but the considerations that we talked about in the tenative budget, those two slides, like that's where we're at in deciding in adoption of the tables what we're going to do for certified classified staff. I make a motion to do a cost increase to the 2% cost increase to the salary tables for the classified and certified staff. So just do 2% across the board. You across the board 2% raise. Well, I'm just going by this slide. Well, so the slide is to break down between So if you did a 2% for everybody, it's $752,000 on our budget. So I had broken it down to classified or certified what that so you can see the different cost

044breakdowns if you wanted to do kind of a multi type of raise. So I'm I'm trying to make a motion to do the 4% revenue increase to for the 866,000. So we can say we would increase our budget for that. But as far as salary goes, that decision is not there yet. That's when we go to do the tax rates in August. Um but it does kind of commit the board if you do a raise. Yeah. So if we say 2% and the of the certified and 85 85 cents on the classified, it takes you to that 99. That takes us to the 99. That's what I'm trying to say. It's like Mr. Kaiser just eloquently stated. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. So your motion is, let me make sure I got this right. That
