A
I'm
just
asking
you:
oh
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
all
right!
The
committee
members
of
richard
guyer,
earl,
campbell,
christina
grass
and
rachel
wisniewski,
are
all
in
attendance.
We'll
start
with
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
please
rise
and
join
me.
A
B
A
B
A
C
E
Yes,
okay,
good!
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
second
quarter.
Financial
report
for
the
quarter
ended
december,
31st
2021.,
so
for
the
first
six
months
of
the
school
year.
So
in
a
later
report,
we're
going
to
talk
about
up-to-date
information
which
will
carry
forward
for
yet
another
month.
E
E
The
prior
year
collections
were
at
23.8,
and
that
was
due
to
the
tax
bill
delay
in
the
prior
year,
so
the
revenues
were
collected
much
later
in
the
year
than
the
current
year.
So
I'm
pleased
to
see
50
of
the
tax
revenues
at
this
point
in
the
year.
E
E
Since
our
january
tax
revenues
have
come
in
as
well,
state
revenues
are
reported
at
43.5
million
or
40.2
percent
of
the
end
of
the
year
with,
and
prior
year,
was
40.8
so
they're,
basically
in
line
those
are
tax
state
revenues
in
the
general
fund
only
they're,
basically
in
line
with
prior
years.
E
Our
expenditures
are
up
a
little
reported
at
119.9
million
and
recall
our
budget
is
274.3
million,
so
this
is
about
43.7
and
the
prior
you're
spending
was
a
little
less
than
that.
So
we
are
spending
a
little
head
a
little
ahead
of
the
game
this
year
and
primarily
the
additional
spending
is
in
the
support
programs,
as
opposed
to
the
instructional
areas,
primarily
in
the
maintenance
custodial
grounds
and
service
contract
areas.
E
So
in
the
special
revenue
funds
we
had
spending
primarily
the
largest
the
bulk
of
our
spending
and
special
revenue.
Right
now
is
in
the
esser
and
arka
funds,
and
so
and
during
that
quarter
we
spent
8.6
million
dollars
of
our
allocations,
and
so
we'll
have
a
an
update
on
our
next
board
meeting
of
esther.
So
I
won't
go
into
any
more
further
detail
on
that
particular
one.
But
next
tuesday
night
we'll
have
an
update
on
the
spending
and
the
activities
there.
E
So
as
of
the
end
of
the
second
quarter
and
we're
going
to
be
bringing
forward
in
a
future
war
meeting,
particularly
in
the
discussion
on
march
25th
work
session
about
unused
eight
percent
funds,
we're
going
to
be
closing
out
the
2018
and
2019
projects
and
we'll
bring
those
forward
for
discussion
at
the
work
session
for
the
use
of
those
funds
and
our
referendum
projects
for
the
2019
referendum
are
60
about
68
as
of
december
31st,
so
that
that's
the
bulk
of
the
information
provided
to
you
in
the
executive
summary
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
all
the
details
of
that
summary.
E
But
you
have
you,
have
those
available
and
I'll
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
comments
you
may
have
at
this
time?
Are.
A
There
any
questions,
mr
campbell,
okay,
dr
groz,
no
thank
you
and
dr
wisniewski.
Do
you
have
any
questions.
B
A
I
I
have
a
number
page
number
three,
you
tell
me
every
year
on
what
this
is
and
I
never
never
remember.
A
Service
fund,
where
at
78
and
what
is
the
internal
service
fund?
Yes,
sir.
E
Okay,
so
the
internal
service
fund
was
established,
probably
20
years
ago,
15
20
years
ago,
as
a
fund
that
allows
us
to
set
aside
a
balance
to
cover
unpaid
liabilities
for
workers.
Compensation
claims
that
we
are
anticipating
in
the
in
the
near
term,
so
we
budget,
900
000.
We
typically
spend
about
a
million
dollars
in
that
area,
and
so
it
looks
like
the
activity
is
stepped
up
a
bit
in
this
year.
E
A
Right
we're
at
78
expended
with
half
the
year
to
go
so.
E
And
the
fund
is,
is
the
revenues
that
come
into
that
fund
are
actually
charges
to
the
general
fund,
so
those
funds
are
really
that
the
impact
is
replicated
over
in
the
general
fund
as
well.
So.
E
And
and
also
insurance
proceeds
flow
into
that
fund
as
well
to
cover
any,
but
we
are
self-insured
for
workers
comp,
so
insurance
proceeds
would
be
very
minimal
and
related
to
a
property
or
casualty
insurance
type
claims.
So
so
it's
it's
because
we
are
self-insured
for
workers,
compensation.
A
Supervision
of
special
program
where
it's
60.5
percent
expended
and
I
see
salaries
and
benefits-
are
way
out
of
whack.
So
what's
what's
going
on
there?
Yes,.
E
Sir,
there
are
a
couple
of
categories
in
in
the
report
here
today.
There
was
some
movement
of
a
couple
of
staff
members.
E
An
additional
transfer
is
needed
to
correct
that
change
or
another
look
at
the
salary,
the
actual
individuals
that
are
coded
in
that
particular
category,
but
it
has
to
do
with
the
student
services
group
so.
E
Absolutely
we're
going
to
get
them
right
before
the
next
quarter
end,
and
so
definitely
the
new
budget
will
have
reflect
the
changes.
Yesterday.
Okay,.
A
Projected
fund
balance
is
approximately
eight
million,
not
quite
eight
million
dollars
more
than
what
we
had
beginning
fundamentals.
Last.
E
Year
right,
it's
actually
not
a
projected
number.
That's
probably
poor.
Labeling
on
that
row,
the
the
increase
or
excess
you
see
here
of
7.7
million
dollars
is
the
actual
revenues
that
exceed
the
expenditures
at
this
point
in
the
in
the
year.
Okay,
so
we
have
an
excess
right
now
and
that
and
the
50
million
550
000
was
the
prior
fund
balance,
but
that
does
not
reflect
what
the
what
the
end
of
year
will
be.
E
E
That
is
typically
in
the
about
twenty
thousand
about
20
000
a
month,
so
that
does
look
unusually
large.
There
are
also
transfers
to
or
from
ace
for,
our
the
food
service
program.
We
we
manage
the
program,
the
finances
run
through
us
and
we
ace
pays
for
the
net
profit
loss,
so
I
will
definitely
look
into
the
details
of
that
area,
but
typically
it
should
reflect
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
month.
I
I
particularly.
E
A
E
A
And
lastly,
capital
budgets,
you
say
the
18
and
19
have
closed
out.
They
should
be
closed
out.
E
C
Yes,
so
when
you
I've
forgotten
what
page
it
is,
but
you
keep
going
to
those
student
activity
funds
tanya.
Can
you
just
give
an
explanation
that
the
student
activity
funds
are
collected
at
the
school?
They
primarily
reflect
the
computer.
C
I
don't
know
what
you
call
it:
technology
usage,
feed,
yeah,
usage
fees,
okay,
because
there's
a
huge
variety
of
how
much
each
school
has-
and
I
I
don't
know
what
page
that
is:
yeah,
it's
24,
24.!
Okay,
thank
you.
C
Can
you
just
talk
to
speak
to
that?
Please.
E
So
the
district
office
balance
is
the
funds
for
technology
usage
fee
in
particular,
are
collected
at
their
school
level
and
in
the
transfers
column
in
bold
there,
the
last
second
to
the
last
column,
to
the
right.
Those
are
the
transfers
transferring
those
funds
into
the
district
office
location,
and
then
we
expend
those
funds
on
repairs
on
for
the
laptops.
E
If
they're
not
spent
down,
we
completely
will
use
them
to
buy
replacement
laptops.
So
that's
the
bulk
of
the
revenues,
also
in
the
district
office.
Those
revenues
also
include
any
facilities,
use
fees,
so
those
would
have
been
drastically
reduced
this
year
due
to
covid,
but
that
could
be
that
is
a
portion
of
that
district
office
balance
as
well.
So
was
your
question
referring
to
the
balances
in
the
individual
schools.
C
Yes,
yeah
there
just
seems
to
be
such
different
fundraising.
Yes,.
C
Of
of
balances.
E
Yes,
the
balances
in
the
accounts
of
the
high
schools
in
in
particular
would
reflect
athletics,
high
schools
and
middle
schools.
Both
have
athletic
funds
in
them
gate
fees,
net
of
any
expenses
they
paid
out.
They
would
also
include
any
performing
arts
center
revenue.
If
someone
would
churches
use
the
performing
arts,
centers
or
dance
recitals
or
so
on,
they
would
also
include
any
other
facilities
use
rentals
if
someone
was
using
the
cafeteria
or
other
parts
of
the
building
during
or
the
parking
lot
even
or
any
place
on
the
ground.
E
So
donations
are
also
in
some.
Schools
represent
a
very
large
portion
of
their
revenues
and
so
that
some
of
them
have
accumulated
quite
a
significant
balance
over
the
years
and
then
other
schools
either
spend
you
know
they
basically
spend
them
on
items
that
we
we
do
not
allow
with
taxpayer
dollars
so
incentives
for
students,
for
example
t-shirts
for
staff
or
students.
E
We
don't
typically
allow
clothing
items
that
in
the
general
operating
funds,
and
so
that's
the
sort
of
thing
that
we
see
typically
in
some
of
our
game
officials,
are
paid
out
of
the
gate.
Fee
revenues
and
ticket
takers
are
compensated
through
these
funds
as
well.
So
there's
a
wide
array
of
expenses
that
come
and
go
from
these
type
teacher
appreciation
as
well.
You
know
dinners
like
pizza
for
teachers
or
breakfast
for
teachers
on
teacher
appreciation
day.
E
So
that's
their
way
of
they
can
compensate
and
appreciate,
show
appreciation
without
having
those
affect
taxpayer
dollars.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair
yeah.
I
kind
of
just
had
a
question
that
came
up
as
I
was.
We
were
talking
about
the
student
activities
fund
balance.
I
think
something
just
to
consider
for
the
future,
especially
because
of
the
disparities
in
the
amount
of
funds
that
are
in
various
different
schools
and
particularly
the
high
school
level.
I
think
it
might
be
beneficial
if
we
were
able
to
look
at
this
from
a
per
pupil
standpoint,
because
you
know,
may
river
high
has
probably
doubled
the
student
population
than
some
of
the
others.
B
So
while
they
have
a
very
high
amount,
if
we
put
it
into
perspective
of
per
pupil
amounts,
it
might
give
us
a
different
idea
of
how
much
funds
could
be
expended
on
each
individual
student
of
whether
it
be
sports
or
otherwise.
So,
just
a
just
an
idea
or
a
concept
to
think
about
as
a
way
to
look
at
this
perhaps
differently
in
the
future.
E
I
think
I
actually
have
a
schedule
in
which
I've
done
that
and
I
think
if
there's
a
there
will
be
a
pattern
and
it's
basically
based
on.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
connected
to
wealth
and
poverty.
To
be
quite
honest,
so
that's
something
that
we'll
see
in
those
more
fluent
areas.
E
Okay,
so
we're
this
update
is
a
hybrid
of
two
years.
So
really,
as
we
begin
our
budget
preparations
for
the
next
year,
we
have
to
really
take
a
deep
dive
into
the
current
year
and
we
are
actively
monitoring
tax
revenue
as
as
a
major
component
of
of
our
our
next
year's
budget.
E
So
the
first
slide
here
displays
that
we
have
collected
as
of
january
31st
90.5
of
the
revenue
budget
tax
revenue
budget,
so
the
total
budget
is
274
million,
but
two-thirds
of
our
budget
is
current
is
tax
revenue
which
equals
163
million
dollars.
So
we've
collected
148
of
that
163
million,
so
we're
at
90.5,
and
one
of
the
best
best
indicators
for
us
is
to
look
at
multiple
years
of
collections
or
revenues
received
in
our
accounts
through
january
31st.
E
The
prior
year
was
relatively
normal,
but
it
was
the
first
year
of
coven
the
prior
year
to
that
was
actually
a
reassessment
year
and
somewhere
right
in
there.
We
had
hurricane
matthew.
I
think
the
year
before
that,
so
we've
had
a
pattern
in
the
last
five
years
of
sort
of
un
volatility.
E
I
guess
you
would
say
it's
so
it's
difficult
to
assess
where,
where
we
are
in
comparison
to
other
other
years,
when
certain
issues
are
occurring
or
extensions
may
be
occurring
in
that
tax
year,
we
go
to
the
next
slide
and
this
the
current
year.
The
issue
we're
experiencing
is
that
the
county
has
waived
penalties
for
legal
residence
applicants
so.
D
E
Folks
that
were
billed
a
six
percent
ratio
assessment
ratio
for
their
homes,
whether
it's
an
error
or
they
just
moved
into
the
area-
are
allowed
to
not
pay
their
tax
bill
until
that
application
is
been
approved
or
denied.
E
E
So
the
majority
of
these
will
be
switched
in,
in
my
opinion,
from
6
to
4
ratio,
which
will
then
remove
all
obligation
to
pay
school
operating
taxes.
School
operations.
Taxes
are
60
percent
of
the
general
fund
budget
and
will
eliminate
any
tax
obligation,
tax
revenue
coming
to
the
district,
so
we're
really
in
a
time
of
uncertainty,
we're
having
to
just
wait
and
each
month
to
receive
the
information.
E
I
show
this
each
year
where
we
are
just.
One
of
the
only
point
I
want
to
make
here
is
that
we
do
are
are
facing
a
reassessment
in
a
couple
of
years.
2024
is
about
when
we
will
have
it.
It
is
required
to
be
done
every
five
years,
so
I
would
think,
at
least
by
that
tax
year,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
an
important
year
for
our
tax
revenue
projections
and
calculations
and
and
for
active
communication
with
the
county,
which
I
have
pretty
regularly.
E
So
that
takes
that
ends
the
discussion
of
the
current
tax
revenues,
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
year
revenues.
So
again,
this
is
the
graph
of
the
60
40
split
between
local
and
state
revenue
and
there.
E
So
local
local
revenue,
of
course,
is
primarily
tax
revenue,
but
the
state
revenue
sources
come
in
a
couple
of
major
sources:
major
pots,
one
is
the
education
finance
act
or
efa,
and
the
other
is
tier.
Three
property
tax
relief,
so
those
are
the
largest
of
a
hundred
million
dollars
we
receive
in
state
revenue
in
this
category.
E
These
are
two
of
the
bigger
sources
of
funds.
There
are
about
40,
different
sources
of
funds
in
varying
categories,
but
we'll
talk
about
those
in
in
just
a
minute
in
more
detail,
so
back
to
the
tax
revenue
have
a
little
ahead
of
myself
there,
so
the
mill
rate
is
very
important
when
it
comes
to
the
local
tax
revenue.
E
The
current
operating
millage
rate
is
121.6
mills
in
order
to
get
a
reflection
of
what
the
school
district
is
allowed
by
state
law
to
increase
that
millage,
if
needed,
and
each
year
we
have
a
maximum
amount.
A
cap
that
is
in
place
as
a
result
of
the
state
law
act
388,
so
this
act,
388
caps,
our
operating
millage
at
inflation
plus
growth
and
both
of
those
numbers
come
to
us
from
state
officials,
the
department
of
revenue
and
fiscal
affairs,
and
they
come
at
different
times.
E
E
Now
this
is
the
highest
rate.
Inflation
rate
I've
seen
index
that
I've
seen
in
many
years
it
last
year
for
as
an
example,
it
was
1.23.
E
We
have
not
yet
received
the
growth
rate.
We
know
that
the
census
occurred
this
year.
There
could
be
some
question
of
whether
we
do
have
increases,
or
you
know
the
based
on
the
data,
but
what
my
understanding
is
that
that
the
our
index
or
our
millage
rate
cap
cannot
go
down
from
the
4.7
percent.
So
if
inflation
or
if
growth
for
any
reason,
is
a
negative
amount,
and
I
don't
think
it
will
be,
then
that
number
would
be
no
lower
than
this
4.7.
E
It
should
be
released
in
march
from
the
fiscal
affairs
office
so
and
we,
the
superintendent
and
I
receive
a
letter
from
that
office
as
soon
as
it's
available,
and
then
we'll
update
this
information,
update
our
tables
and
and
bring
that
I
will
keep
the
board
and
this
committee
informed
of
the
of
that
rate.
E
So
the
next
slide
is
actually
the
calculation
and
how
it's
applied
to,
and
so
I,
in
the
interest
of
getting
an
idea
of
about
where
we're,
where
we're
at
what
I've
done,
is
taken.
The
pro
the
millage
rate,
which
I
I
understand,
that
this
is
maybe
a
little
confusing,
but
the
budget
year
202
to
23
will
be
tax
year
22
and
I'm
using
the
prior
year's
millage,
which
is
this
year
in
order
to
calculate
the
current
the
net
next
year's
allowable
millage
increase.
So.
D
E
Times,
4.7
percent
gives
us
5.7
mils,
so
at
this
point
in
time,
and
and
it
will
change
we-
it
appears
that
we
could
go
increase
millage
if
the
board
chooses
by
5.7
mils
again
we're
still
missing
that
one
component
of
population
growth
and
as
soon
as
we
receive
that
we
will
update
these
numbers.
But
I
this
is
a
lot
different
than
what
we've
seen
in
the
past.
As
you
can
see
that
column,
we're
generally
in
the
three
to
four
and
a
half
mil
increase
range.
E
This
year
is
a
bit
different,
so
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
then
over
to
the
state
revenues.
The
two
categories
I
mentioned
earlier
efa
and
the
tier
three
local
property
tax
relief.
So
based
on
the
state
department
of
education's
budget
proposal
to
the
legislature,
there
is
a
proposal
to
raise
the
base
student
cost,
which
is
one
component
of
the
efa
calculation
from
five
hundred
sixteen
dollars
per
student
weighted
student
to
twenty
five.
Forty
six
recall
this
pot
of
money
is
about
eighteen
million
dollars
for
the
school
district.
E
It
would
equate
to
about
18
million
in
this
formula,
but
we
do
receive
only
about
25
percent
before
receives
about
25
of
that
base
student
cost
because
of
our
index
of
tax,
paying
ability,
the
index
of
wealth
in
districts
in
the
state
buford
having
one
of
the
highest
wealthiest
in
terms
of
assessed,
values
of
properties
in
a
county
typically
receives
the
lowest
state
funding
percentage
of
state
funding
in
the
state
of
south
carolina.
E
But
fortunately
our
estimates
show
that
this
would
increase
our
revenue
in
that
category
by
735
000,
so
that
is
positive
sales
tax
reimbursement.
This
is
due.
This
pot
is
about
49
million
dollars,
so
it
is
a
significant
it's
about
half
of
the
total
state
revenue
we
received.
E
I
believe
it's
the
fiscal
affairs
office
or
department
of
revenue,
one
of
those
state
officials.
I
indicated
an
increase
of
1
million
1.7
million
dollars,
so
that
is
a
favorable
increase
and
that
is
again
due
to
act
38,
that's
where
they
removed
school,
operating
taxes
from
legal
residences
and
instead
replaced
it
with
the
one
cent
of
sales
tax
those
are
given
collected
at
the
state
level
and
then
disbursed
back
to
all
the
school
districts.
So
this
is
that
source
of
funds
and
how
that
flows
continuous.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
question
dr
garage
said:
go.
C
And
tanya
the
banked
millage
rolled
forward.
Is
there
a
time
limit
on
how
long
you
can
go
back
to
banked
millage
and
what
is
that.
E
F
Well,
my
question
was
going
to
be
in
in
terms
of
the
the
the
information
that
you
have
that
you
that
already
will
get
a
copy
of.
Does
that
does
that
affect
the
the
budget
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
E
What
we
receive
is
a
letter
stating
the
cpi
rate
and
then
we
have
to
and
and
maybe
a
listing
of
every
other
school
district's
rate
and
those
are
also
posted
on
the
revenue
and
the
fiscal
affairs
websites.
So
it's
also
available
available
there.
But
we
just
take
that
information
and
apply
it
to
these
formulas
and
then
provide
that
to
the
ward.
F
Right,
but
my
question
was
if,
in
terms
of
us
coming
up
with
the
different
things
in
terms
of
the
year,
I
mean
I
mean
the
budget
when
we
have
those
meetings
it
does,
that
does
that
determine
the
budget
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
is
more
of
my
question.
E
E
All
right
state
budget
priorities,
so
I
one
thing
I
I
want
to
do
each
time.
I've
come
to
the
committee
or
to
the
board
is
to
update
you
on
any
legislative
issues.
I'm
I've
really
taken
an
interest
sort
of
to
the
legislature
this
year
and
it's
actually
very
interesting.
There's
an
app
called
sc
legislature.
E
If
you
haven't
gotten
on
it,
you
can
actually
follow
committees
or
follow
members
of
the
legislature,
and
I
am
following
the
house
ways
and
means,
and
the
senate
finance
committee
in
case
any
education
related
or
funding
education
funding
related
bills
come
up.
I
can
keep
track
of
sort
of
some
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
and
you
can
watch.
E
Of
the
the
session,
so
it's
all
rather
interesting,
but
there's
two
budget
state
budget
priorities,
two
versions
of
that
this
year
regarding
education
funding,
the
state
superintendent
always
proposes
a
budget
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
education,
and
that
is
a
two
percent
salary
increase
for
next
year.
E
E
E
E
So
I'm
not
sure
which
one
we'll
maintain
in
the
budget
or
be
cast,
but
we'll
be
actively
looking
out
at
both
of
those
a
two
percent
teacher
salary
increase
would
be
closer
to
a
four
percent
increase
cost
of
living
increase,
as
opposed
to
the
two
percent
proposed
by
the
state.
Superintendent,
so
that'll
be
interesting
conversation
and
so
we'll
keep
in
tune
with
what's
going
on
there
but
another
major
component.
E
I
went
to
a
state
meeting
a
few
weeks
ago
and
been
reading
up
and
there
is
a
proposal
for
a
new
education
funding
formula,
so
it's
coming
out
of
the
department
of
administration
and
they
are
rolling
together.
Multiple
efa
and
eia
funds
and
calculating
more
on
a
simplified
calculation,
as
opposed
to
the
typical
efa
calculation,
and
it
bases
it
more
on
the
cost
of
a
teacher.
E
So
it
it
compares
the
weighted
student,
the
student
numbers
and
the
value
of
the
cost
of
a
the
average
teacher's
salary
and
benefits
and
funds
it
more
on
the
with
the
goal
of
focusing
on
those
areas,
instead
of
particular
areas
of
interest
that
are
specific
to
different
educational
categories
such
as
gifted
and
talented,
or
you
know,
esol
or
other
other
elements
of
the
formula.
C
E
Other
funding
sources
like
those
are
so
we
are
following
this.
We
have.
We
have
the
formula
that
they're
using
and
doing
our
best
to
project
what
the
effects
of
that
might
be
on
our
revenue.
So
we're
watching
that
closely
to
see.
If
that
has
any
legislative
support
this
year,
it
appears
that
we
would
might
benefit
from
the
formula
they
are
changing
the
weighted
pupil.
The
weightings,
particularly
some
of
the
special
education
categories
and
buford,
does
have,
I
think,
a
12
population
or
so
so
that
we
may.
E
E
So
the
next
steps
are
that
we
are
going
to
be
seeking
input
from
the
board
and
the
community
on
our
on
budget
priorities.
E
We
are
working
now
with
various
staff
members
senior
staff,
but
potentially
to
determine
how
is
the
best
way
to
to
gather
that
input,
we're
monitoring
the
local
revenues
through
the
tax
millage
and
at
the
current
year
revenues
and
how
those
are
coming
in
then
we're
projecting
as
soon
as
then
we'll
begin
to
project
the
current
and
future
revenues
monitor
legislative
issues
and
we're
going
to
continue
preparing
the
budget
and
the
staffing
and
putting
all
those
things
together.
So
I
put
the
budget
schedule
up
here
for
the
board.
E
What's
in
your
approved
board
calendar,
and
with
that,
I
will
take
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair
tanya.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
suggestion,
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
hearing
from
constituents
and
other
members
of
the
public
that
are
coming
up
and
and
they're
asking
about
the
esser
funds
and
things
like
that.
They
want
updates
on
it.
How
much
money
did
we
get?
You
know?
Are
we
rolling
it
into
our
fund
balance?
Are
we
able
to
roll
it
into
our
fund
balance
and
they
they're
under
certain
kinds
of
impressions
based
on
what
kind
of
discussions
they're
having
with
you
know
their
friends
and
community
members?
B
So
I
guess
the
suggestion
or
the
question
that
I
have
is:
can
we
perhaps
add
when
we're
seeking
input
from
the
community
or
maybe
presenting
this
in
the
future,
that
we
add
a
component
that
talks
about
or
touches
on
those
esser
and
care
dollars
and
how
they
have
anything
to
do
with
our
yearly
budget?
Just
so
that
people
aren't
under
any
misconception
that
you
know,
we've
got
a
ton
of
money,
we're
rolling
into
our
fund
balance
or
something
like
that.
E
I
I
probably
would
need
to
have
a
conversation
with
you
to
understand.
Maybe
get
some
ideas
on
how
to
I
guess
what
questions
to
ask
or
what
information?
Perhaps
it's
just
informational
that
we
add
to
maybe
a
survey
or
something
at
that
point.
We
we
did
go
out,
provide
surveys
or
mandated
by
the
state
to
do
esther
funding
surveys
and
gain
public
input
from
those
which
we
did
a
few
months
back
and
you're
right.
E
The
esser
funds
and
the
general
fund
are
two
totally
different
funding
sources,
which
must
be
kept
separate.
Esther
funds
are
very
restricted
with
only
certain
allowable
categories,
and
then
they
do.
We
do
update
the
board,
as
you
all
know,
once
a
month
on
the
second
board
meeting
of
each
month
provide
a
specific
report,
and
it
is
also
on
our
website
for
a
viewing
of
the
categories
of
spending,
but
esther
funds
cannot
go
into
the
general
fund
fund
balance
and
vice
versa.
E
Nor
can
the
funds
cross
over
and
be
spent
in
the
other
areas
unless
there
are
certain
restricted,
they
fall
within
the
restricted
categories.
But
perhaps
we
could
put
some
informational
text
in
the
survey
to
just
provide
some
data.
C
E
You
know
if
it
were
not
allowed
in
the
s
or
funds.
Is
there
something
in
particular
that
you
would
like
to
see
or
prior
to
you
know
as
a
priority
in
the
general
fund,
so.
B
Yeah,
I
think
I
think
the
main
thing
is
is
that
and
that
survey
that
went
out
gathered
the
input?
I
think
my
main
concern
is
making
sure
that
the
constituency
is
educated
on
the
the
allowable
uses
for
the
esser
funds
and
how
they
may
or
may
not
have
impacted
our
budget
just
for
future
years.
In
the
case
that
there
is
going
to
be
an
ask
for
a
millage
increase
or
anything
like
that,
if
we
begin
having
those
discussions
and
people
think
or
misunderstand
those
allowable
uses,
it
can
cause
a
lot
of
headaches.
B
E
And
using
it
ahead,
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt
you
perhaps
when
we
will
be
going
to
county
council
to
their
finance
committee,
probably
in
late
march
or
early
april.
That
is
probably
a
perfect
opportunity
for
us
to
give
a
brief
update
on
the
allowable
activities.
What
our
progress
is,
what
revenues,
what
allocations
we've
received,
what
allocations
category
allowable
activities
we
have,
and
that
might
be
a
perfect
opportunity
to
start
with
that
discussion
as
we
roll
into
the
general
fund
budget
discussion.
A
Okay,
to
give
you
some
background,
since
I
came
on
the
board
2019,
I
looked
at
you,
you
look
at
2019,
you
see
where
we
had
the
major
drop
in
revenue
due
to
the
reassessment
that
caused
us
to
deal
with.
That
plus
you'll
see
that
we
also
have
a
shortfall
in
previous
reassessment
years.
You
can
see
them
on
the
chart
to
a
tune
of
total
of
19
million
dollars.
A
Right
now
we
have
we
had
to
take
care
of
that.
We
had
to
cope
with
that
by
taking
it
out
of
our
fund
balance,
and
so
now,
since
2019,
we
have
come
back
with
our
fund
balance
and
we
are
now
at
approximately
50
million
dollars
in
fund
balance,
which
is
about
20
of
our
annual
budget,
which
is
according
to
gaspi,
the
laws
of
so
to
speak
of
fine
government
finance,
that's
about
where
you
should
be.
A
It
shouldn't
be
much
more
than
that.
I've
said
in
the
past
that
I
could
make
a
case
that
we
should
have
more
so
that
we
don't
have
to
use
a
tan
to
tide
us
over
because
of
our
way
our
funding
comes
in,
but
having
briefed
the
county
council
now
for
two
years
on
the
budget
process.
It
comes
up
every
time.
A
Well,
you
can
lower
the
millage
rate
and
reduce
your
fund
balance
that
that
is
not
what
we
can
do,
because
if
we
reduce
our
fund
balance,
all
we
do
is
have
to
increase
the
tan
and
we
have
to
use
what
monies
we
don't
spend
every
year
to
rebuild
our
fund
balance.
So
that's
the
discussion:
where
do
we
get
this
money
that
has
allowed
us
within
since
2019.
A
A
A
E
A
A
D
A
A
Okay,
every
month
we
see
the
personnel
ratification
report
and
you
can
see
that
at
the
first
of
the
year
we're
hiring
lots
of
folks
and
we've
had
fewer
folks
that
have
you
know,
retired
or
gone
on
to
other
things.
But
then,
through
the
year
we
have
more
people
that
drop
out
or
resign
or
terminated
and
fewer
people
hired.
A
D
A
A
However,
we
now
have
we're
now
at
where
we
should
be
with
our
fund
balance.
That
means
that,
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
we
should
not
have
any
money
left
over
or
we
have.
We
have
just
a
little
bit,
so
we
can
pay
for
unforeseen
things
that
were
purchased
in
this
fiscal
year,
but
you
have
to
pay
for
some
of
it
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
You
have
that,
so
you
have
to
have
a
little
bit
of
that.
A
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
C
A
I
could
have
for
bus
drivers,
I
could
have
hourly
employees
and
so
on,
but
each
one
of
those
gets
a
pot
of
money.
A
A
D
A
A
What
do
we
do
with
that
and
that's
to
go
to
operations
committee
to
robert
otting
and
say:
okay,
what
are
we
you
wanted
to
do,
but
you
weren't
budgeted
to
do
this
year.
Let's
spend
it
so.
The
bottom
line
is
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
You've
spent
all
the
money
because
we
don't
want
to
add
to
our
fund
balance.
A
A
A
We
don't
include
that
and
so
that's
why
we
get
the
teachers
group
to
come
in
and
say
you're
at
the
bottom
third,
in
salaries
in
the
state.
Well,
not
really
because
we
had
five
thousand
dollars,
but
that's
not
reported
in
is
our
teacher's
salary.
It's
also
an
issue
when
you
go
out
and
recruit
teachers-
and
you
say:
okay,
we're
going.
A
F
A
A
The
other
issue,
the
negative
part
of
that
is,
we
don't
pay
any
benefits
on
that
five
thousand
dollars.
So
we
don't
pay
any
fica.
We
don't
pay
any
unemployment,
we
don't
pay
anything,
we
give
them
five
thousand
dollars
and
then
they
have.
They
have
to
report
that
to
the
irs,
and
I
guess
we
put
it
in
our
w
too.
A
So
what
I'm
saying
is
so
we've
already
been
budgeting
this
every
year,
so
it's
now
a
recurring
cost
is.
I
would
propose
that
we
say:
okay,
there's
five
thousand
dollars
added
to
everybody's
base
pay
and
it's
going
to
cost
us
a
little
more
money
about
what
two
million
dollars
about
two
million
dollars
more
because
we
have
to
pay
benefits
on
that.
A
But
it
brings
up
what
our
pay
is.
Our
base
pay
for
employees,
it
counts
toward
retirement
and
if
you
use
this
end
of
year,
money
being
returned
to
employees
by
it
you're
saying:
listen,
we'll
still
give
you.
If
you
don't,
spend
everything
in
your
pot
of
money
you're
going
to
get
that
at
the
end
of
the
year.
A
And
we
continue
to
spend
everything
that
we
budget
now
the
question
is:
is
now:
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
another
major
drop
in
revenue
at
reassessment
and
that's
why?
One
of
the
reasons
why
fiscal
autonomy
is
what
we
need
because
and
as
I
look
back
on
all
the
records
for
every
year
during
reassessment
year,
what
the
district
asked
for
would
have
generated
the
money
that
was
budgeted,
but
what
the
district
asked
for
was
not
what
the
district
got
in
millage.
D
Thank
you
dick.
I
think
the
end
result
you're
going
for
is
really
good,
but
I
can
assure
you
that
in
my
district
saying
spend
it
all
because
that's
the
government
model
is
a
death
flow
to
it.
So
somehow
we
we
have
to
sell
this
without
saying
that
that
that's
it's
just
too
much
too
much.
D
Feeling
in-
and
I
think
it's
in
most
of
the
county-
that
that
we
don't
want
to
follow
the
federal
model,
because
you
know
spending
it
all-
is
a
bad,
a
bad
thing.
I
think
we
need
to
sell
this
by
saying
we
have
to.
D
We
have
to
reward
the
teachers
and
we're
looking
around
at
ways
to
do
it.
So
that's
just
a
comment
on
on
our
sales
pitch.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
My
comment
and
concerns
are
predominantly
in
the
model
being
pensionable.
I
I
think,
long
term.
What
we're
looking
at
in
the
issue
that
we're
facing
is.
We
have
a
decreased
amount
of
discretionary
spending
because
they're,
if
there's
an
increased
amount
of
rising,
benefit
costs
and
pension
costs.
So
I'm
concerned
that,
if
we're
going
to
put
in
to
play
a
model,
that's
going
to
be
pensionable
that
we're
just
exacerbating
the
issue
long
term
for
the
district.
B
I
think
that,
if
we're
going
to
do
a
model
like
this,
I
would
advocate
for
it
to
be
non-pensionable,
and
I
also
would
advocate
that
our
legislative
committee
and
our
district
or
school
board
look
at
you
know
some
type
of
policy
recommendations
at
the
state
level
that
deal
with
the
overarching
problem
of
the
rising
benefit
costs
and
pension
costs.
I
know
that
that's
a
sticky
road
and
a
lot
of
people
have
opinions
on
it,
but
I
mean
most
of
our
teachers
or
the
people
that
are
new
teachers.
B
They'd
rather
have
more
money
in
their
pocket.
At
the
moment
I
mean
that's
what
most
of
the
surveys
that
I've
read
say
that
they
would
prefer
to
have
more
cash
in
the
bank
and
cash
in
their
pocket
and
they
are
concerned
about
their
pension
benefits.
So
I
just
think
that's
something
we
need
to
think
about
when
we
talk
about
this
plan.
A
And
the
other
part
of
the
problem
is
we
have
a
serious
issue,
as
maria
walls
tells
us
about
the
change
from
six
percent
to
four
percent?
What's
what's
going
on
according
to
maria,
is
people.
A
F
A
And
make
the
case
for
teachers
and
the
case
for
teachers.
Is
you
six
percenters?
You
know,
I
know
it's
tough,
but
we're
not
going
to
change
the
law.
388
will
stay,
we
can
talk
to.
We
can
do
every
all
the
lobbying
we
can,
but
we
are
one
of
44
44
counties
and
we're
out
we're
going
to
be
outvoted
every
time
because
they
like
the
way
it
is
most
of
the
counties
like
the
way
it
is
so
we're
gonna.
D
A
E
Yeah
several
years
ago
there
was
a
a
teacher
incentive
model,
it
was
developed
by
the
state
called
cap
and
it
was
an
incentive
base
based
on
performance
or
growth
in
a
school.
So
particularly
there
were.
E
There
was
a
finite
set
of
dollars
and
it
was
funded
partially
funded
by
the
state,
with
a
gradual
decline
of
percentage
of
funding
where
we
took
over
a
larger
percentage
each
year
for
a
period
of
five
years,
with
the
final
year
being
100
funded
by
the
district
once
it
got
to
that
point,
unfortunately,
it
sunseted,
but
it
was
a
performance-based
model
that
provided
bonuses
to
staff
of
our
schools,
not
just
teachers,
but
all
staff.
E
So
there
was
a
similar.
There
was
a
a
model
in
place
at
that
time
and
it
still
exists,
and
we
could
you
know
explore
that
to
see
some
options
for
the
new
year.
What
that
might
look
like.
F
A
What
our
issue
is
is:
how
are
we
going
to
execute
the
budget
that
we
developed,
based
on
assumptions,
assumptions
of
full
employment
assumptions
of
the
impact
of
inflation
assumptions
on
the
amount
of
revenue
we
will
get
in
in
a
tax
system
that
allows
people
to
change
their
tax
status
and
oh
by
the
way
and
add
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
be
homestead?
And
I
wish
we
got
every
dime
that
was
the
homestead
act
takes
away,
but
we
don't
so
the
states
the
state's
not
going
to
bail
us
out
and
we
have.
A
A
A
Mr
campbell
does
not
dr
claus,
you
have
any
future
topics.
A
And
dr
wisniewski,

Okay,

I
don't
tanya

a
future.
