001health health costs are are going through the roof. Um, but it was also brought up at the input meeting that maybe we send something out to the staff kind of pointing some of these things out. Um, we had talked as um We send out an email to everybody to talk about the summer payroll anyway, especially this year because of the changes in when we started and those types of things. So, we want to make sure everybody knows how many checks they're going to get getting in June or how much. We'll just add a couple of uh examples onto that email so that they can see, you know, maybe we'll do a level two teacher and a and an EA, an entry- level EA, and kind of show the differences how that comes out. Also notice
002the increase in our liability insurance. That's what the property values or that's to insure our property. 16% increase about $350,000. Couple other things that to that to take into consideration with this. Our unit value, which is how the SEG is distributed to us, went up by 3.8%. But we had a 3.1% decrease in membership. That's good. Yep. Yep. Um and then note all of these changes that are mandated through the the House Bill two and and these insuranceances and everything that hits our federal programs, too. We were talking about title one earlier, right? Everybody that's paid out of title one now has a 4% increase in in salary and we're paying 80% of their benefits. So it's an increase there. So it's giving basically giving us less for other stuff within the ground. So operational
003ends up absorbing more of that. So this is just kind of a trend of the 80 120day membership. It's been dropping dramatically. I I think this has been kind of projected um that it's going to continue this way. Looks the scale is real. Hey, we got to have it for dramatic. Really making a point here. Is there a chance we're going to get any anything back or as far as I mean, as I understand it, it comes and goes. So, it'll it'll drop to a certain point and then it'll start increasing again. Um although I mean I've been hearing uh even from a national level that um birth rates are dropping across the country and so I don't think so that that that all affects that all affects our membership after they get back into
004school. So we talked about unit value. unit value did increase that was based on the the house bill 63 formula that changed um and the form funding that the state provided us. So our estimated unit value for 26 is 680135 compared to 655375 um this last year that is a 4% increase in unit value. So, our SEG as we look at it year-over-year, this is the revenue that we've got coming in. As you can see, it continues continues to increase at this point. Um, even though we have a drop in membership, some of the things that make up that that uh the multiplier for the SCG are additionals to to there. So, we talked about those uh adjustment factors. Our $4,600 or 4,600 membership comes $6,000 units of that. And that's because of those factors
005that we talked about, right? The the sixth grade went from 1.045 to 1.3. Those factors is what makes these adjusted program units. So, for every three kids, we get four basically in sixth grade. Yeah. We can count an extra kid. Yeah. And then you have and then you have uh special education units, you have fine arts credits, you have uh national board certified teachers that give you some additions for that. Uh the at risk here, it looks like it was a drop for us, but remember we separated out the English [Music] learners. So we ended up from between 25 and 26, we ended up with an increase in units that we apply the increase in unit value to. Were we required to put that divide that out? Yes. Two in I I separated those two
006out because whenever you look at the at the formula to calculate it, it is as a separate line item. Oh, okay. Thank you. There's my salary. So, one of the things that I wanted to make sure that everybody understands I'll write a check is I'll give you a few dollars. We talk about, you know, SED and what we have when we talk about cash balances. One thing we have to be very very careful of is all of these reoccurring salaries and benefits, all of that stuff. We've got to make sure we watch and make sure that only comes out of reoccurring money that we're going to get every year. We cannot budget or we should not budget for any of those types of things, any of those reoccurring expenses uh higher than what our re
007estimated revenue is. Okay? And just to throw a few percentages up there, salaries is 79% of the projected revenue right now. You don't have a lot of room for other stuff. people are expensive. The other thing that everybody wants to know is what is instructional versus other. Right now instructional I talked to some people at at uh from PED at the spring budget. They are looking at functions 1,00 2100 and 2200. So that's your direct in the classroom teachers. That's your your support staff for like attendance and those types of things. That's your your nurses. um librarians, those type of of things are falling into that 21 and 22. Okay? Right. What we're projecting in the budget is 70% of our revenue is going to go to to the students. Now, you think, well, that
008leaves 30 30% for admin. Well, that's not exactly, right? That's not just admin. In that number, that's 30%. That's all your facilities workers. That's all your custodians. That's anybody else that's supporting those those schools. Yes, admin is a piece of that, but it's it's also those other requirements. Everybody in transportation, all of that that to get your kids here, make sure it's there. Food service is not in this because food service is paying from its own 21,000 program. Okay. We're also proposing it here for other other items that are one-time purchases. That way, we can use that that cash balance, right? And we're doing 8.593. 8 million of that is the bar that you guys approved um at the last meeting. We talked about security upgrades. We talked about the the soccer practice field. We
009talk about uh early college bathroom um uh remodeling that is needed for ADA, the auditorium for bathrooms for ADA as well. Some of the other things that are part of that, the 593,000 is we're looking at um digitizing all of our student records. We're looking at um uh new uniforms for the band. We're looking at um a couple of vehicles. Uh we do have a lift truck for the facilities. We can't use it anymore. It's been red tagged. It's not usable. So, we're looking at being able to replace that. Um so, that's what's that's what's in that one-time money. I know the state always looks at it as um you know onetime money or reoccurring and I wanted to try and split that out for Demi public schools in that in that fashion. So then
010for for you when once we put in one of the things that that the schools have to do is they have to budget everything and put everything in an expense basically. So we have to look at what our revenue is going to be. We have to project what our cash balance is going to be at the end of the year. And then we have to budget an expense for all of those things. Okay? That's the reason why this number is higher than the 72 72 million that we had earlier. That is our looking at our cash balance that we have. Again, we need to be very careful and make sure that we don't project any type of salaries or anything like that so that we make sure we can continue with that. But we can
011do the one-time purchases like we just talked about earlier. That also helps us with uh emergency funds. If something comes up and we need to do something now, we've got some room for that. Um the other thing that that does is our federal funds, we send out the money, we pay the bills, we submit it for an RFR to PED, and sometime later they pay us back. They have gotten better this over the last year or so about getting us reimbured for that, but there was for a while we were waiting three to six months for that money to come back to us. We've got to have money in the bank to cover those types of things. Okay. So the budget that that u we'll be presenting next uh at the next meeting to you
012for approval will be with these these allocations. The reason that we have um food service as a part of that is that's where we did the the vector uh trainings last year. We we gave a a sipon to to all of them that that completed the vector trainings by a certain deadline. How much was the 300 and it's to have them because there was like 11 trades. So it's to pay them to do it after hours. And so the money that we've been talking about so far is all just operational. That's that's what we use to to run everything. Uh we do have um some capital improvement money that's out there. We talked earlier about doing a bond issuance that's we can use that for capital improvements. We talked about RST's uh geothermal um heating
013and cooling. We've got a baton on the way there as well. Um and then you guys also approved the the facilities master plan um which is a living document so we can make adjustments as we need to but that is for different that's a different funding source. So with this we'll be I'll be getting you more detailed information if you will um should be going out in the in the packets for next week. Um, I did ask if we can get that out to you on Monday so that we can get I can get all of that done. Um, our board our budget is due to PED by May 19th. So that fell in just right for the regular meeting of May 15th. Yeah. Sorry. Any questions? No, I don't think so. Thank you. Thank
014you. It made it really easy to understand. So, I was going to ask overall, how are we looking? How's how's the health of the budget? the the district's in in very good shape right now. Um, you know, kind of going back to the little bit of history that I've got, I've been here for I started in 2017. Um, whenever I first started, we had a lot of problems. Um, remember that's right right after they found the fraud. Um, the embezzlement of what was it 150$175,000. Well, that's the bridge. Now, let's make sure that nothing is happening because next time we're done. We're tight. And and and part of that is I keep I do keep reminding people of that just because if they forget then they get a little slacks in their processes and their
015procedures and and we put a lot of processes and procedures in place so that we don't end up in that situation again. Um, but every once in a while we need a everybody needs a little reminder. Okay. Um, also at that time it was real tight with with money. There wasn't a lot of cash balances in that at that point. Now part of that was is because I think PET had just done a cash sweep a couple of years before that which ended up taking uh money back away from the district and then causing them to to to work harder to to maintain. the cash balances have been built back up again, but we have to watch and make sure that we don't build them up too big for the state starts coming in and
016and looking at those again. That's part of the reason why um Superintendent Chavez before she left has beg for that $8 million to be able to spend it on capital improvements. Um and and we got that that in and a borrowing to to you guys. Thank you. Thank you. You have a test. Do we need a test now? No. On two announcements. Any requests for agenda items to go to Red Mountain? Yes. Red Mountain will be May 15, 2025 at 5:30. Meeting will take place there. And with that, I'll need a motion to make a motion. I'll second. Mr. Yes, Mrs. PZ. Yes, Mrs. Cameron. Yes, Mrs.
