Good
afternoon
miss
green,
miss
codes
autumn
finance
members.
The
office
of
head
start
have
allocated
cola
and
quality
improvement,
supplemental
funding
to
grantees.
We
are
requesting
the
approval
of
the
application
budget
to
be
used
for
any
approved
board,
approved
cola
adjustment
for
the
next

E

B
Hear
the
question
dude,
I
did
not
I'm
sorry
does
this
request
include
all
increases
for
this
staff,
or
would
they
be
eligible
to
receive
any
other
funding?
That's
coming
into
employees.

Just
a
couple
quick
questions:
I'm
presuming
this
was
sort
of
the
top
on
the
list
of
the
next
item,
which
is
why
it's?
Why
that's
where
the
excess
revenues
are
going
and
then
I'm
and
I'm
also
just
curious?
It's
a
round
number
amount.
Is
this
the
amount
that
we
had
and
so
we're
applying
it
all
to
the
advanced
design?
Or
is
this
exactly
what
we
think
the
advanced
design
is
and
we're
just
taking
this
much
of
the
excess
revenue.
H
H
E
So
this
was
not
on
the
referendum.
E
I
B
Sure,
just
a
minute,
kent.
H
E
C
B
All
in
favor
hi,
hi,
okay,
michelle
do
you
yep
item
six.
Is
you
can
keep
going
miss.
G
Y'all.
Okay.
The
next
item
is
an
informational
item
where
we
are
doing
a
risk.
Redistribution
of
the
early
out
number
two
ban,
which
extends
from
2022
to
2023,
and
this
particular
item
is
for
a
one-page
conceptual
design
layout
of
the
james
island,
early
childhood
center,
as
well
as
the
d10
middle
school.
G
B
B
If
not,
thank
you
michelle.
Thank
you.
Approval
of
a
contractual
projects
over
250
thousand
dollars,
mr
welter.
B
Wayne,
since
you
know
this
is
kind
of
the
first
time
we've
done
this,
can
you
I
mean
not
necessarily
walk
through
each
one,
but
can
can
you
just
kind
of
maybe
highlight
a
couple
of
the
particulars
and
kind
of?
Maybe
you
know
talk
about
the
explanation
under
justification
of
solicitation,
because
I
had
a
question
about
it.
I
got
my
questions
answered,
but
I'm
thinking
maybe
some
of
the
other
board
members.
B
I
don't
need
you
to
go
through
every
one,
but
if
you
would
just
maybe
point
out
a
few
and
then
if
the
committee
member
had
any
questions,
we
can
deal
with
any
specifics.
K
Okay,
we
can
start
with
item
one
there:
that's
services
are
requested
by
the
academic
side
and
those
services
are
exempt
from
the
competitive
process,
so
we
didn't
have
to
go
out
with
the
solicitation
on
that
one.
The
next
one
item
on
there
is
for
our
leasing
of
multi-functional
devices
to
support
our
schools
and
offices
throughout
the
district
that
was
solicited.
K
B
You
don't
need
to
do
all
of
them.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
board,
the
committee
members
understood
what
the
terminology
meant,
because
I
wasn't
sure
myself.
H
Do
you
mind
backing
up
a
little
bit
and
remind
me
like?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
intent
of
you
know
what
what
the
board
wants
from
us
as
far
as
reviewing
these
projects,
these
items,
because
I'm
presuming
most
of
them
are
well
whether
they're
part
of
the
capital
budget
or
the
operating
budget.
H
B
B
M
Yeah,
so
typically
in
these
governmental
art
organizations,
there's
a
dollar
threshold
that
if
it
succeed
that
threshold
succeeded,
as
mrs
green
said
in
the
the
governing
body,
has
some
responsibility
for
for
approving
those
of
those
procurements.
We
haven't
followed
that
pattern
for
a
few
years
here
and
so
the
board
going
through
instagram
re-implement
that
process
that
we
had
in
the
past.
I
don't
remember
what
the
adult
threshold
was
seemed
like.
M
I
think
it
was
like
fifty
thousand
dollars
at
some
point,
but
anyway,
but
typically,
what
happens
then,
is
that
any
procurement
that
comes
in
comes
through
going
to
the
board
coming
through
the
audit
and
finance
committee.
The
committee
needs
to
ensure
that
that
whatever
whatever
procurement
process
that
should
have
been
followed
has
been
followed
so
wayne
just
highlighted
two
or
three.
He
said
that
there's
an
item.
That's
that's
from
the
academic
side.
That's
exempt
from
the
procurement
code
per
the
board
policy.
M
So
if
there
was
something
coming
through
that
that
that
is
not
exempt
from
that
procurement
process
and
then
and
we
we
staff
are
showing
that
it's
example,
then
you
would.
You
would
need
to
question
that,
and
so
it
is
a
very
limited
number
of
types
of
procurements
that
come
through
that
that
would
come
through
without
going
through
some
type
of
procurement
process.
He
mentioned
the
state
of
the
state,
a
state
contract,
so
we
have
a
number
of
items
that
we're
going
to
purchase
off
the
state
contract.
M
So
that's
so
that's
one
thing
you
need
to
be
taking
to
take
a
look
at.
The
second
thing
is
just
taking
a
look
at
price.
There
might
be
a
little
bit
some
some
some
challenges
there
it's
committed,
but
if
that
something
looks
out
of
whack
in
terms
of
fair,
fair
and
reasonable
in
terms
of
price,
I
would
imagine
you
would
look
at
look
at
that
also,
and
then
also
the
you
know,
especially
with
the
in
operations
with
the
contracts
for
for
construction.
M
Those
have
already
been
those
construction
programs
have
already
been
approved.
The
projects
themselves,
but
just
the
procurement
has
not
just
making
sure
that
there's
an
alignment
between,
what's
coming
in
through
from
a
procurement,
to
issue
a
contract,
that's
aligned
with
what
the
boys
already
approved
in
terms
of
the
projects
themselves,.
H
Think
it
does,
it
sounds
like
the
priority
really
is
is
is
ensuring
that
the
process
was
appropriate.
So
if
there's
for
there's
only
three
or
four
of
these
to
have
board
exemptions,
the
rest
of
them
were
either
competitive,
competitive
bid
or
state
contract.
H
E
The
board
would
not
see
these
purchases,
so
some
of
them
are
kind
of
interesting.
Is
there
going
to
be
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
purchases,
not
the
process?
I
mean
I
guess
what
sticks
out
to
me
is:
are
we
paying
one
company
four
million
dollars
for
one
service
for
educational
services
and.
I
A
A
What
they're
doing
is
that
they
provide
high
touch
on
the
ground
support
for
our
acceleration
school
so
the
first
year
it
was
just
around
math
and
the
plc
piece,
so
they
actually
have
staff
that
they've
hired
for
us
and
then
now
they're
they're,
the
ones
who
are
doing
the
reading
curriculum
and
the
plc
piece.
So
we
given
it's
going
to
be
funded
through
esser.
We
asked
them
to
put
together
the
full
term
of
the
contract
through
2024,
at
which
point
we
would
reevaluate
the
ongoing
partnership
with
leading
educators.
A
We're
paying
the
acceleration
team,
jackie,
haynes,
her
and
kaylee
and
a
secretary,
those
are
general
actual
general
operating
fund,
staffing
positions,
but
that's
the
full
term
of
leading
educators.
E
A
B
If
not,
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
H
J
Our
sales
tax
collections
for
this
month
were
2.8
million
dollars
above
the
2
percent.
Projected
cash
flow.
The
10
for
the
expenditures
for
the
10
through
16
capital
building
program,
were
22
000.
The
expenditures
for
the
17
through
22
capital
building
program
were
2.9
million
expenditures
for
the
23
through
28
capital
building
program
or
2
million.
J
L
N
Yes,
hi.
Thank
you.
Miss
green
hello.
Everyone,
moody's,
investor
service
issued
a
credit
opinion
on
april
8
2022
for
the
series,
2022
bond,
anticipation,
notes.
These
bonds
were
sold
last
week
on
april
27th.
The
district
continues
to
maintain
a
double
a-2,
stable
rating
due
to
our
healthy
financial
operations.
Our
close
budget
oversight
and
our
consistent
increases
to
fund
balance,
and
this
is
presented
just
for
information
only.
H
I
just
wanted
to
commend
you
all
as
a
team
for
continuing
to
have
this
strong
rating.
It's
really
really
excellent
and
it's
really
important
and
but
I
also
would
reiterate
you
know
the
risk.
H
If
we
were
to
jeopardize
this
rating,
you
know
obviously
would
increase
our
cost
substantially,
and
so
I
I
guess
my
only
question
and
we
could
do
this
offline,
but
I'd
be
interested
if,
if
moody's,
they
reference
comparative
districts
that
they're
comparing
us
to
for
some
of
these
ratios,
it
would
be
interesting
if
they'd
be
willing
to
share
with
you
what
those
competitive
districts
are
and
what
the
metrics
look
like
for
those
comparable
schools,
which
would
then
be
really
helpful
to
us.
H
As
we
look
at
long-term
planning,
you
know
the
couple
of
the
factors
they
mentioned
that
could
lead
to
a
downgrade.
We
want
to
be
tracking
those
in
our
own
projections
that
we're
not
you
know,
pushing
pushing
ourselves
to
metrics.
That
would
allow
them
to
put
us
in
a
downgrade
because,
obviously,
if
they
were
to
just
even
put
us
on
alert,
sometimes
it's
harder
to
walk
back
and
alert
than
it
is
to
to
stay
out
of
getting
there.
So
if
you,
if
you're
able
to
get
that,
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful.
Okay,.
M
Thanks
so
jackie,
when
you
follow
up
start
with
the
pfm,
let
them
know
what
the
request
is
and
which
makes
sense,
and
then
let's
go
go
start
with
them.
Please
sure.
B
Maybe
we'll
just
put
that
on
the
agenda
until
we
can
get
an
answer,
as
just
a
reminder.
Is
that
all
right
with
y'all,
okay.
B
N
Continue,
yes,
thank
you,
miss
green,
so
included
in
your
packet
was
the
or
is
the
march
22
financial
update
for
general
operating
fund,
the
first
column,
the
first
column
of
numbers
represents
revenues
received
and
expenditures
spent
through
march
31st.
N
Under
the
revenue
section,
actual
revenues
received
to
date
are
517
million,
and
this
includes
local
tax
revenues
of
365
million
and
state
revenues
of
140
million.
The
third
column
indicates
our
estimates
at
year
end.
The
estimated
revenues
at
year
end
is
605
million,
and
this
is
600.4
million
dollars
higher
than
what
was
reported
on
the
february
financial
update,
as
shown
in
the
prior
month
estimate
column
for
total
projected
revenues,
and
this
increase
is
from
local
property
taxes.
N
The
third
column
shows
the
estimated
expenditures
at
year
end
at
613
million,
and
this
is
1.5
million
dollars
lower
than
what
was
reported
on
the
february
financial
update,
as
shown
in
the
prior
month.
Estimates
column
for
total
projected
revenues,
and
this
excuse
me
this
decreases
from
salaries
and
benefits,
as
well
as
the
salaries
and
benefits
from
from
the
mass
mandate.
N
N
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Miss
carlin,
mr
kennedy.
M
So
what
you
have
before
you
is
a
table
that
lays
out
the
next
line
of
spending
for
the
s3
a
couple
of
points
before
I
go
through
the
items
themselves.
Back
in
february,
I
beat
the
school
board
on
the
process
that
we
would
use,
as
we
do
with
sr3
expenditures,
that
staff
would
determine
which,
which
which
items
that
need
to
be
extended
and
that
we
need
to
execute
on.
M
We
would
bring
a
list
of
those
items
linking
those
to
our
the
district
sub
priorities
and
bring
those
to
the
audience
finance
committee
and
then
take
it
on
to
the
school
board.
We
did
that
follow
that
process
in
march.
M
If
you
recall
about
to
the
committee
three
items:
14.3
million
dollars
for
expansion
of
mental
health
services
using
this
for
three
dollars,
there's
one
point:
something
million
dollars
to
to
put
in
a
couple
of
prototypes
for
broadband
expansions
in
the
rules,
a
couple
of
room
sections
of
the
county
and
then
also
three
point:
some
million
dollars
from
the
human
resource
efforts
to
be
able
to
incentivize
student
teachers
that
were
teaching
in
our
in
our
schools.
M
M
So
this
is
a
similar,
the
same
process,
not
simply
the
same
process.
What
we
have
here
we
at
the
last
board
meeting.
We
presented
an
update
on
the
to
the
full
board
on
the
answer:
3
strategies-
and
so
here
these
expenditures
are
related
to
those
those
strategies
that
we
bring
the
board.
M
So
on
the
on
the
table
schedule
there,
you
see,
we
have
the
various
pillars
on
the
pillar,
one
district-wide
program
to
purchase
materials,
and
it
says
el,
that's
our
reading,
curriculum
and
so
materials
for
that
1.4
million
dollars,
sticking
with
pillow
one.
That's
why
programs
with
1000
language
learners?
M
So
these
are
students
that
are
coming
in
from
other
countries
that
english
is
not
their
first
language
and
trying
to
put
in
programs
to
support
their
educational
growth,
and
then
we
see
the
next
three
here
on
the
high
quality
teachers
and
leaders.
This
wide
programs
for
acceleration
school
bonuses-
and
this
is
primarily
to
attract
and
retain
staff
and
teachers
in
within
those
our
acceleration
schools,
this
programs
on
pathways
to
teaching
programs
and
certification
programs.
M
And
how
then
do
we
provide
that
financial
support
to
do
that
and
then
the
last
one
in
that
section
there
high
quality
teachers
leaders
is
the
leadership
pipeline
program,
that's
being
developed,
ensuring
that
we
have
future
leaders
to
be
able
to
lead
in
various
various
parts
of
the
district
and
then
so
that
so
that
is
the
district-wide
programs
and
then
also
back
in
march.
M
Excuse
me
april,
at
the
april
25th
board
meeting
we
presented
to
the
school
board
the
all
of
the
school-based
proposals
for
s
of
three
dollars
that
came
in
from
the
first
of
april
that
were
vetted
by
central
office
and
collaborated
between
central
office
and
school
principals
in
their
in
their
communities.
We
posted
all
those
proposals
on
our
website
last
thursday
last
friday,
but
late
last
week.
M
So
all
those
proposals
got
there,
and
so
the
13
million
dollars
on
school
level
programs
is
to
allow
those
schools
to
begin
to
initiate
and
execute
on
their
plans
primarily
beginning
with
recruiting
for
additional
staff.
That's
that's
part
of
their
plans,
so
a
total
of
22
million
dollars
on
this
round.
13
of
it
is
for
school-based
programs
in
the
remainders
source,
these
distributed
programs
that
support
the
district
as
a
whole
in
all
our
schools.
So
what
questions
do
you
have.
B
B
Will
they
then
become
dependent
upon
general
operating
funds
to
continue
to
fund
those
positions.
M
Well,
so
I
would
say
in
some
instances
the
needs
would
be
taken
care
of
in
other
instances
and
or
the
needs
would
not
be
taken
care
of
within
this
time
period
with
these
resources,
and
so
now
that
we
have
the
plans
in
place
now
that
we
have
the
plans
in
place,
we
have
funding
associated
with
those
plans.
M
We
have
strategy
process
now
strategies
the
processes
to
track
attract
both
the
what
track
right
now,
the
expenditures
of
those
plans
are
alone
funding,
as
well
as
a
timeline
and
staff
is
involved
in
setting
up
a
set
of
metrics
of
measures
to
to
to
track
program,
effectiveness,
and
so
for
those
programs.
I
would
say
that
that
proved
to
be
effective.
We
would
have
to
try
and
figure
out.
We
haven't
done
this
yet
that
would
be
the
next
step
figure
out.
M
E
Of
staffing,
may
I
ask
a
question
sure
so.
Actually
joyce
asked
my
first
question,
but
a
little
more
pointedly.
Are
you
advertising
these
as
temporary
positions?
That
will
end
with
the
end
of
the
sr
funding,
or
are
these
people
going
in
with
an
expectation
that,
from
their
perspective,
they're
applying
for
a
job
they
plan
to
have
until
they're
no
longer
good
at
it,
because
it's
a
rough
thumbnail,
sketch
you're
looking
at
about
10
million
dollars
in
salaries
that
we're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
how
to
pay
on
october,
1st,
2023
or
2024?
I'm
sorry.
F
So,
mrs
coats,
most
of
the
positions,
are
classroom
or
school-based
positions,
for
example
in
the
pathways
programs,
where
various
initiatives
the
individuals
hired
will
be
in
allocated
positions.
We
are
certainly
like
every
district
across
the
nation
have
a
shortage
of
teacher
and
teacher
candidates.
E
So
this
school
level
program
support
staff
you
intend
to
have
those
become
one
of
the
requirements.
Is
those
130
odd
people
must
be
certified
to
teach
I'm.
F
Some
of
those
positions
are
certified.
There
are
some
that
are
classified
support,
but
we've
continued
this
year
to
have
issues
when
it
comes
to
finding
talent
in
both
areas-
and
I
don't
see
that
ending,
not
that
we
aren't
going
to
be
successful
in
recruiting,
but
it
is
a
real
challenge.
So
I
think,
with
attrition
the
number
of
folks
who
are
retiring
or
considering
retirement
I'd
feel
that
we'll
be
able
to
place
folks
into
permanent
positions
when
needed.
E
L
E
F
E
M
So
so
we
have
not
miscoached.
So,
as
you
know,
the
plans
were
just
put
in
place
last
month.
There's
a
series
of
processes
that
we're
going
through
to
do
different
types
of
analysis,
different
types
of
project
planning,
different
types
of
measuring,
expected
outcomes
and
step
stepping
to
what
those
outcomes
are
and
then
measuring
those
and
then
and
then
over
the
next
year
or
so
get
to
a
point
where
we
know
where
the
end
where
we
might
be
headed
towards
the
end
and
how
we
plan
for
that.
M
So
we're
not
okay,
well,
they're
there
yet
but
understand
the
point.
E
Yeah
and
the
next
two
questions
are
kind
of
quicker.
You
have
over
six
million
dollars
in
the
procurement
that
we
just
approved
for
the
that
are
esser
coded.
Are
they
included
in
this
22
million
that
you're
spending,
or
should
we
say
that
you're
spending,
26
million,
given
the
procurement
stuff
you're
buying
that
we
just
approved
plus
this?
A
Some
requested
last
time
this
code
so,
for
example,
the
expansion
of
the
ela
materials
el.
The
request
is
the
250,
but
we'd
put
that
in
a
request
that
already
came
to
the
board
for
spending
down
on
so3
to
the
audit
finance
board.
E
M
I
would
say
what
well
first
of
all,
I
would
say:
no,
I
can
go
back
and
go
and
verify,
but
I
would
say
no
so
this.
This
report
here
shows
whatever
the
number
is
22
million
and
then,
like
I
said,
six
million
dollars
worth
of
well
non-staff
non-stop,
and
so
once
we
go
through
this
process
here
we
go
through.
Excuse
me,
go
through
a
procurement
process
and
then
once
we
go
through
the
procurement
process,
anything
that's
on
this
list.
M
That's
greater
than
250
000
would
come
through
the
that
procurement
approval
process.
B
Okay,
if
not,
that
information
that
is
provided
for
information,
as
as
we
go
through
this
process
with
the
there's
a
front
funds.
The
next
item
is
the
first
reading
of
the
23
budget,
mr
kennedy.
M
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
this
as
opposed
to
the
cfo,
and
the
only
reason
why
sometimes
cfos
this
is
our
second
day
back
to
work
from
maternity
leave.
So
welcome
back
ms
williams,
and
but
if
the
future
presentation
will
be
from
from
her,
but
I'm
going
to
walk
through
this,
and
so
that's
the
only
reason
why
I'm
walking
through
it.
Although
she
and
I
have
been
working
on
this
over
back
over
the
weekend,
so
she's
she's
she's
definitely
familiar
with
it.
M
In
fact,
she
was
responsible
for
having
all
these
these
numbers
pulled
together.
So
what
I
would
what
I
would
answer
the
introductory
comments
to
to
this.
If
you're
going
through
the
numbers,
I'm
going
to
make
two
points
one
well,
let
me
make
the
then
make
three
points
number
one.
The
recommendation
is
scenario
three,
so
this
is
what's
being
recommended
to
our
about
estimated
scenario.
Three,
which
is
a
9.1
meal
increase.
M
So
point
two
is
that
this
budget,
the
this
proposed
budget
here
for
the
first
reading,
with
a
couple
of
exceptions,
it's
essentially
the
same
budget
as
the
fiscal
year
22
budget.
It's
essentially
the
same
budget,
so
in
prior
years,
going
back
a
number
of
years
for
each
budget
year
that
we've
come
to
the
board
in
our
finance
committee
that
we've
had
a
series
of
expansions.
So
you
know
we
had
the
mission
we
had
the
mission
critical.
M
We
had
the
acceleration
schools,
we
had
other
initiatives
that
were
geared
towards
trying
to
address
the
academic
aims
and
and
needs
of
the
district.
This
budget,
with
again
without
with
with
a
couple
of
exceptions
which
I'll
go
go
through,
has
no.
This
budget
has
no
expansion,
so
this
is
this:
is
a
budget?
M
That's
essentially
the
fiscal
year
22
budget
and
what
we've
increased
here
on
the
over
the
22
budget
are
things
that
either
require
the
increases
which
I'll
walk
through
and
those
are
primary
staffing,
for
instance,
like
the
teacher's
staff
increase
as
an
example,
but
I'll
go
through
each
one
and
then
the
other
section.
That's
that's
an
increase
primarily
associated
with
increase
in
in
non-teaching
staff
salaries.
M
There's
one
exception
on
the
learning
services.
There's
3.1
million
dollars
for
an
expansion
for
39
positions
for
special
needs
of
special
education,
and
these
are
these
are
requirements
on
how
we,
how
we
serve
the
needs
of
special
needs
of
children,
and
so
the
people
that
run
that
program
along
with
ms
belcher,
they
analyze,
what
the
needs
of
our
students
are
and
then
we
have
to
you
know
by
law,
fund
those
needs,
and
so
that's
an
expansion.
M
But
it's
not
an
expansion
of
of
a
pro
in
the
sense
of
a
new
program,
a
new
initiative.
It's
just
meeting
compliance
to
its
meeting
compliance
requirements
and
meeting
the
needs
of
our
students
that
are
have
special
requirements
and
then
the
other
section
is
there's
a
six
point:
six
point:
six
million
dollar
increase
which
I'll
highlight
in
in
the
in
the
budget
in
a
few
minutes,
but
that
is
since
operations,
expansion
and
the
vast
majority
of
that
6.9
million
dollars.
M
Excuse
me
six
point:
six
million
dollars
is
for
required,
increase
in
contract
costs,
so
we
have
contracts
that
we
have
met
with
different
companies.
They
have
escalation,
calls
causes
in
in
those
contracts,
and
so
the
vast
majority
of
that
six
point
six
billion
dollars
is
is
for
that
other
than
those
two
items
that
are,
that
really
are
not
expansion
items
there
are.
M
There
are
no
differences
between
this
budget
and
the
fiscal
year
23
budget,
with
the
exception
of
adding
costs
with
the
salaries
for
for
call
for
friends,
benefits
that's
been
mandated
by
the
by
the
state
again,
which
I'll
walk
through
the
second,
the
third
point
I'll
make
in
the
april
or
the
finance
committee
I
presented
several.
I
don't
remember
several
scenarios
on
potential
budget.
M
The
scenario
that
I
landed
on
was
this.
One
that's
shown
here
is
scenario
two,
which
is
a
6.3
mill
increase,
and
so
we
still
don't
know
what
the
state
budget
is
going
to
be
it'll
be
next
week
looks
like
before
we
have
that
we
have
a
good
sense
about
what
the
local
revenue
will
be,
but
in
order
to
close
this
budget
for
a
fiscal
year
23
without
making
them
a
significant
the
reduction
in
in
staff
in
in
terms
of
involving
the
reduction
of
staff,
then
it
requires
this
9.1
bill
increase.
M
So
with
those
three
points,
I'll
walk
through
some
of
the
details
and-
and
I
might
go
back
and
forth
between
scenario,
two
and
scenario-
three
just
for
comparison.
M
So
on
the
first
page,
then
here
the
summary
page,
so
just
for
what
first
of
all
a
geography
you
know,
geographical
view
of
the
of
the
of
the
document
itself.
The
first
page
of
the
summary
page
then
have
a
few
pages
that
show
some.
So
that's
bring
those
summary
doc
dollars
out
into
some
details
and
then
the
last
section
indicates
based
on
assumed,
assessed
property
values,
the
impact
of
the
9.1
mil
increase
on
various
taxpayer
payers.
M
So
on
scenario,
three,
coming
over
to
the
numbers
themselves:
it
shows
projected
revenue
for
23
and
645
million
dollars
and
it's
expensive.
A
base
expenditure
is
614
million.
That
base
expenditure
is
the
it's
where
we
expect
to
end
the
year.
So
it's
not
it's
not
it's
not
adding
too.
M
It's
not
building
upon
the
budget
from
fiscal
year
22.!
It's
not
like
we're
taking
the
budget
from
fiscal
year
22
and
building
upon
that
we
are
estimating,
where
we're
going
to
end
the
year
in
22
and
we're
building
from
that
point.
So
as
jackie
briefed
a
few
minutes
ago,
jack
and
carl
and
beat
a
few
minutes
ago,
we're
not
going
to
use
all
the
fund
balance
that
we
anticipated.
That
means
our
expenditure
expenditures
won't
be
as
high
as
we
as
we
had
expected.
M
So
when
you,
when
you
subtract
what
we
project
this
645
million
worth
of
revenue,
we
subtract
from
that
to
614
million
worth
of
expenditures
that
gives
us
31
million
dollars
under
the
scenario
three
to
apply
to
new
expenses,
additional
expenses
for
the
fiscal
year,
23
budget.
So
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
the
three
columns,
all
three
columns
we're
serving
31
million
dollars
on
a
on
the
scenario,
three
you'd
come
over
to
scenario
two.
M
That
number
is
22
million
dollars,
and
the
difference
between
those
two
numbers
is
is
it's
the
difference
of
the
6.3
mil
increase
versus
the
9.1
mil
increase
and
a
meal.
This
year
is
roughly
three
little
over
three
million
dollars
value
of
little
three
million
dollars.
So
with
that
increase,
you
know
it's
eight
point.
I
think
it's
8.5
million
or
something
like
that-
that's
generated
by
their
additional
loan
revenue
and
then
over
on
scenario,
one
where
it
shows
no
military
increase.
M
The
next
section
talks
about
what
those
expenditure
increases
are
the
31
million
for
57
required
expenditure
increases
not
go
through
details
on
the
second
page
on
that
in
a
second,
we
have
a
reduction
in
the
mission
critical
items
of
1.4
million,
and
then
we
have
this
learned
service
expansion
of
3.1
million,
which
I
mentioned
a
few
minutes
ago.
M
That's
that's
for
the
39
positions
in
special
special
education
needs
and
then
other
considerations
of
12
million,
and
so
that
would
be
more
more
discretionary,
so
required
increases
and
the
increases
that
are
not
required
to
not
require
12
million.
You
know
again
I'll
go
through
the
details.
M
So
some
some
sum
that
up
in
the
total
increases
for
next
year
budget
over
this
year's
budgets,
45
million
dollars
and
then
how
do
we
then
balance
that
well,
the
first
one
is
that
we
apply
the
revenue
from
from
above,
which
says:
funds
available,
31
million
135
against
that
45
million
dollars,
and
that
still
leaves
a
a
gap
that
roughly
14
million
dollars,
as
shown
in
the
next
section
here
below
the
45
million.
M
So
the
first
one,
four
million
dollars
is
the
same
number
I
presented
last
month
that
we
we
have
identified
specific
areas
within
this
year's
budget
in
non-salary
line
items
that
we're
going
to
not
spend
and
we're
going
to
save
the
four
million
dollars
and
apply
that
enroll
into
fund
balance
and
then
we'll
apply
that
to
the
fy
23
budget,
same
strategy
we've
used
for
for
several
years.
The
next
line
I
have
is
is
similar
except
it's
salaries
instead
of
non-salary
savings,
and
then
we've
instituted
a
hiring
freeze.
M
That
was
effective,
I'm
not
sure
when,
but
a
few
weeks
ago,
back
in
april,
and
so
we
anticipate
saving
three
million
dollars
from
that
and
then
rolling
that
into
into
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
this
year.
For
for
for
to
apply
against
expenditures
next
year
and
then
the
last
one
here
under
scenario.
Three
is
the
use
of
fund
balance,
so
this
would
be
whatever
the
fund
balance.
M
Balance
is
right
now,
which
I'll
go
through
that
in
a
second,
we
would
use
seven
million
dollars
of
that
to
to
help
to
balance
this
budget.
So
the
first
two
four
million
and
three
million
we're
taking
explicit
steps
in
this
current
year's
budget
to
reduce
cost,
and
then
that
will
increase
the
fund
balance
and
then
we
would
take
it
out
of
fine
balance
and
this
seven
million
dollars.
230
700
230,
that's
already
in
fund
balance.
M
M
Now
before
I
get
into
the
details
of
expenditures
on
the
bottom
of
this
first
page,
I
want
to
show
you
the
impact
on
now
on
the
fund
balance
so
currently
currently
in.
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
fiscal
district's
fiscal
year,
201
financial
statements
by
the
balance
sheet,
it
was
you
would
see
145
million
dollars
in
fund
balance.
M
That's
currently
in
the
in
our
final
financial
statements,
the
21
million
dollars
below
that
is,
what's
in
the
fy
22
budget,
the
current
u.s
budget
that
we
said
that
we
would
use
to
to
to
balance
the
balance.
Next
year's
budget
of
the
22
budget,
21
million
as
jackie
briefed
on
the
monthly
financial
statement.
Still
using
21
million
we're
only
going
to
use
seven
point,
I
think
four
million
dollars,
and
so
we
would
have
an
additional
well.
There
is
there's
the
numbers
right
there.
M
In
the
next
section,
actual
fund
balance,
145
projected
use
of
fund
balance
with
fiscal
year.
22
is
7.4,
so
we
budgeted
21
million
fund
balance.
We
only
expect
to
use
7.4,
so
that
means
that
gives
us
a
difference
to
be
able
to
add
that
into
fine
balance.
So
when
you,
when
you
make
the
subtraction
there,
that
means
that
before
we
take
into
account
the
reductions
in
the
deliberate
cost
savings
for
this
year,
fund
balance
would
be
137
million.
888
000.
M
However,
because
we're
going
to
have
the
two
savings
that
I
talked
about
in
the
non-salaries
and
in
the
hiring
freeze
of
a
seven
million
dollars.
Then
we
add
that
to
137,
and
so
we
would
expect
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
fiscal
year
22,
when
we,
when
we
closed
the
books,
that
we
would
have
a
a
fund
balance
of
144.9
million
dollars.
So
we
started,
we
ended
last
fiscal
year,
145
million
dollars,
and
so
what
this
shows
is
that
we
would
end
this
year.
M
M
We
are
proposing
in
this
budget
to
take
out
the
seven
million
dollars
that
we
add
in
from
the
salary
savings
and
the
non-salary
savings
and
the
additional
seven
million
dollars
out
of
the
fund
balance
to
help
balance
the
budget
and
therefore,
the
projected
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
23
so
june
of
next
year
june.
The
next
year,
the
under
this
scenario,
three
that
will
have
a
budgeted
fund,
balance
of
130
million
887
thousand.
M
So
there's
a
formula
for
determining
how
much
should
be
committed
and
how
much
should
be
in
either
in
unassigned
or
assigned
to
make
sure
that
we
have
what
was
what's
called
by
the
by
the
gfla.
The
no
gas
mcgaske
general
counter
standards
board,
what
the
stabilization
fund
for
committed
and
so
that
funding
that
formula
says
that
that
we
will
essentially
have
the
average
average
of.
If
you
take
a
look,
you
take
the
average.
You
take
the
last
the
expenditures
from
the
last
two
years.
M
So
what
we've
done?
We've
taken
that
take
expenditures
from
fy
21,
the
expenditures
for
fy
20.
We
expect
expenditures
this
year
of
22
and
we
average
those
in
the
average
of
of
two
months
worth
of
of
expenditures
and
and-
and
so
I
I
did-
the
calculations
over
the
weekend-
I'm
not
sure
I
have
this
up
any
place,
but
I
think
that
I
think
the
number
right
now,
if
you
take
a
look
at
our
fiscal
year,
2001
fiscally
of
21
financial
statements,
those
those
two
numbers
combined.
I
M
But
but
certainly
we
are
paying
attention
to
that
and
make
sure
that
we
have
by
by
board
policy
what
should
be
set
aside
for
for
essentially
an
emergency
fund.
If
something
so,
some
some
disaster
hits
the
district
and
we
need
to
have
funds
right
away
that
that
that's
what
that
committed
and
committed
the
state
requires.
M
The
state
requires
one
month,
essentially
eight
percent
of
that
of
of
the
expenditures
and
where
the
effort
recommendation
is
twice
that,
and
so
our
board
policy
reflects
what's
required
by
gfoa,
recommended
by
gfoa,
with
the
government
finance
officers,
association.
H
Okay,
don.
This
is
a
point,
though,
where
if
moody's
would
share
with
us
some
of
that
data,
it
would
be
helpful
because
there's
a
minimum
one
month,
there's
a
kind
of
rule
of
thumb
two
months,
but
I
you
know,
I
I
wonder
if
moody's
might
be
holding
us
to
a
slightly
higher
standard,
to
maintain
the
excellent
credit
rating
that
we
have.
So
I
think
that'd
be
helpful
to
know
if
that.
B
Makes
sense
and
another
question
regarding
the
contractual
commitment,
the
the
what
I
can't
remember
exactly
you,
you
put
it
a
figure
of
adding
to
the
required
contractual
obligations
that
we
have
was
it
6
million
6.6
6.6
million
so
have
y'all
had
a
chance
don
to
really
analyze
those
contracts
to
make
sure
that
they
continue
to
be
needed.
B
M
C
Yes,
sir,
so
so
we
have
an
annual
escalation
clause
in
all
of
our
service
contracts,
so
grounds
maintenance,
transportation
custodial
roof.
I
mean
firehood
maintenance.
C
C
We
get
complaints
from
schools
on
a
regular
basis,
because
the
three
custodial
contractors
are
having
an
incredibly
hard
time,
staffing
because
it's
not
based
on
the
current
market
and
so
we're
expecting
a
significant
increase
when
we
re-award
that
contract
to
provide
a
minimum
salary
to
those
employees
that
meets
what's
in
the
in
the
in
the
community.
Right
now.
So
that's
that's!
The
biggest
ticket
item
is
custodial
so
that
entire
amount
there's
an
individual
line
item
that
represents
a
dollar
amount.
C
That's
been
looked
at
primarily
by
by
mr
cromps,
but
in
the
case
of
transportation.
Obviously,
mr
lynch
as
well-
and
we
could
certainly
review
those
line
out
of
my
lighting,
if
needed,.
I
F
Hi,
that's
definitely
a
very
good
question.
So
for
our
school-based
staff
we
froze
positions,
but
we
continue
to
recruit
for
staff.
So
if
we
find
a
hard
to
fill
area
like
a
math
teacher
or
another
teacher,
we
would
make
an
exception,
but
the
other
part
of
that
is
that,
because
if
a
teacher
or
a
school-based
staff,
member
who's
less
than
240
days
starts
work
now
they
only
have
30-plus
days
of
maybe
30-plus
days
of
pay
for
the
rest
of
the
school
year.
So
a
lot
of
times
that
can
cause
a
financial
hardship.
F
So
folks
will
wait
to
the
first
of
the
school
year
then
for
central
office
staff
most
are
240
days,
we're
monitoring
any
that
maybe
need
to
be
filled
that
have
been
difficult
to
fill.
But
but
overall
we
froze
everything
and
certainly
division.
Heads
can
reach
out
to
us.
If
there's
a
need
to
fill
a
couple
of
positions
if
needed,.
M
So
much
just
going
back
quickly
to
your
question
about
what's
required
in
the
fund
balance,
so
so
the
so
the
board
policy
says
that
we
take
the
average
of
the
of
the
two
months
of
two
years
from
on
month
basis
and
we
have
to
have
a
hundred
fifty
a
hundred,
fifty
percent
of
that
in
the
committed
fund
balance
and
so
so
the
calculation
for
so
for
for
fiscal
year,
21
last
for
the
current
balance
sheet.
M
It
shows
68
million
dollars,
that's
in
there
68
million
dollars
and
then
then
the
remaining
amount
has
to
be
in
of
the
requirement
has
to
be
in
in.
We
have
an
assigned
fund
balance
and
that's
20
23
23
million
dollars.
So
we
have
90
million
dollars.
That's
set
aside
for
for
emergency
situations
in
within
the
district
on
the
financial
statement,
the
calculation
for
next
year.
M
Those
numbers
are
74
million
and
committed,
and
24
million
24
million
in
in
in
the
in
another
category,
but
also
identified
as
emergency
for
the
future
future
future
expenditures.
So
that's
a
total
of
98.8
million
dollars,
so
it
goes
from
90
million
dollars
to
98.
M
B
M
I
I
M
M
The
standard
scenario
three,
the
top
numbers
there
stop
sections
simply
repeats
from
from
the
previous
patient
summary
revenue,
summary
expenditures
and
the
funds
available
at
31
million.
Then
the
next
section
that
says
required
increases
it
lists
what
those
increases
are.
So
the
first
one
says:
teacher
staff
increased
4.5
million
dollars
so
that
that
is
a
state
requirement
that
we
give
a
step
increase
to
all
teachers
and
that
that
amount
for
all
of
our
teachers
is
4.5
million.
The
next
item
teacher
salary
increase
9.6
million.
M
So
under
the
house
version
of
the
budget
that
was
passed
back
last
month,
they
have
a
four
thousand
dollar
increase
with
teacher
salaries.
If
you
look
at
column
one
scenario,
one
that
you
see
a
19
million
dollar
number,
that's
the
cost
for
the
district
to
give
all
of
our
teachers.
A
four
thousand
dollar
increase.
19
plus
benefits
19
million
dollars.
What's
in
scenario,
three
is
fifty
percent
of
that
increase
or
two
thousand
dollars,
and
that
cost
is
nine
point:
six
million
the
next
item
retirement
increase.
M
This
is
the
district's
share
of
the
increase
in
the
retirement
costs
that
we
pay
for
our
employees.
That
three
million
dollars
of
2
million
979
there's
a
that
is
a
percentage
increase,
that's
mandated
by
the
state
budget.
So
again,
we
have
no
no
option
but
about
what
to
to
to
make
that
increase.
The
same
thing
with
the
health
and
dental
increase
that
there's
a
percentage
that's
mandated
by
the
state
and
that
percentage
works
out
to
1.
M
1.7
million
dollars
for
ccsd
the
charter,
schools
and
media
street
we're
still
working
through
the
details
of
that
funding
formula.
It's
it's!
M
It's
related
largely
to
what
the
changes
in
the
state
funding
formula
for
k-12
and
so,
but
we're
estimating
that
5.6
and
so
that,
but
whatever
it
is
it
whatever
that
change
in
the
charter
school
funding
formula,
it
would
still
be
based
on
the
essentially
the
number
of
students
that
are
enrolled
in
our
charter
school,
so
that
won't
that
piece
won't
change
and
then
the
next
one
here,
the
next
two
line
items.
M
I
think
it
was
two
years
ago
the
board
voted
to
charge
a
a
essentially
a
fee
to
all
of
our
charter
schools
to
fund
the
position
to
manage
charter
schools.
That
fee
was
at
0.25
percent
of
charter
school
payments
and
that's
the
negative
143
thousand
dollars
there.
So
that's
saying
we
would
reduce
expenditures
because
we
would
we
would
when
we
allocate
funding
to
charter
schools.
M
We
would
subtract
out
that
0.25
and
that
generates
143
500
so
two
years
ago
that
that
calculation
was
based
on
what
would
it
cost
to
hire
and
do
friends
benefits
for
a
specific
level
of
employee,
a
director
at
the
176
thousand
dollars,
but
but
above
that,
that's
the
current
cost,
so
it
costs
176
000
and
we
would
based
on
the
board,
with
motion
that
was
adopted.
We
would
be
able
to
collect
from
from
the
charter
schools,
143
000.
M
The
next
item-
property
and
flood
insurance.
So
that's
simply
that
increases
in
cost
in
in
carrying
insurance
on
our
properties
and
then
the
next
item,
the
contractual
obligations
and
other
must
do
to
6.6
million
dollars.
That's
what
jeff
just
talked
about
a
few
minutes
ago,
primarily
the
operations
contracts
that
have
cost
cost
escalators
and
if
you
need
to
go
through
the
details
on
that,
I
have
that
on
my
computer.
M
But
but
since
when
I
went
through
that
list
of
contracts,
it's
quite
a
few,
but
it's
all
have
cost
escalators.
I
M
No,
those
those
are
those
that
increase
the
escalator,
escalated
costs
jeff.
You
want
to
talk.
C
Yes,
sir,
a
portion
of
it
is
the
escalated
cost
in
the
annual
contracts.
A
significant
portion
is
the
re-bid
for
the
custodial
contract,
so
it's
a
an
expected
increase
in
the
overall
value
of
the
contract,
but
we
also
have,
in
addition
to
those
contracts
we
have.
A
couple
of
other
must
pay
bills,
including
compliance
with
a
new
fire
fire
safety
act
act
256,
which
requires
additional
contract,
support
and
and
labor.
So
again,
each
of
these
has
a
line
in
them
that
adds
up
to
that
total.
C
Yes,
ma'am,
the
the
contracts
are
district-wide
in
some
cases,
there's
multiple
contracts
that
handle
a
service
like
custodial.
We
have
three
contractors
grounds
maintenance.
We
have
three
contractors,
it's
applied
to
all
three,
but
everything
from
you
know
grounds
elevator,
maintenance.
All
of
these
items
are
maintained.
We
maintain
those
with
contract
services
and.
C
C
I
Just
had
a
question
on
the
teacher
salary
increases,
the
the
four
thousand
dollars
for
that
you
mentioned
was
that
mandated
by
the
state,
or
is
that
recommended
by
the
state.
M
So
so
so
in
the
house
version
in
house
version
of
the
budget
that
the
house
has
passed,
the
senate
has
not
passed
this
version.
They
have
a
a
mandate
that
there's
a
four
thousand
dollar
minimum
four
thousand
dollar
minimum
that
teachers
would
receive.
So
currently,
the
minimum
for
a
starting
teacher
is
thirty.
Six
thousand
dollars
ccsd's
minimum
for
first,
a
teacher-
that's
just
starting
out
without
a
master's
degree,
is
instead
of
36.
000
is
41
000.,
so
we
already
pay
above
the
minimum.
M
So
in
that
case,
ccsd
would
not
be
required
by
state
to
do
any
any
increase
for
teachers,
and
so
that
is
not
a
state
requirement,
but
but
the
reality
is
that
the
state
has
where
they
have
communicated
across
the
statewide.
There
are
teachers,
teachers
statewide,
including
our
teachers,
here
that
were
that
expected
expect
a
four
thousand
dollar
increase.
Now
I've
met
with
teacher
groups
here
locally
explained
to
them
what
the
what
the
reality
is.
M
So
it's
not
it's
not
a
requirement,
but
as
as
mr
bregman
of
bill
would
say,
teacher
recruitment
is
a
real
challenge.
We
I've
talked
with
teachers
and
I
know
what
the
challenge
some
of
the
challenges
that
they're
having.
So,
although
it's
not
a
requirement,
I
would
say
we
with
certain
recommendations
that
I'm
making.
H
H
M
So
it's
so
so
the
when
the
state
first
started
this
budget
back
in
the
winter.
That's
when
this
four
thousand
dollar
teacher
salary
increase,
came,
came
up,
and
so
we
did
the
calculation
here
and
again
for
us
to
do.
A
teacher
salary
increase
at
4,
000
level
and
plus
benefits
is
the
19
000.,
and
so
what
the?
What
the
next
two
scenario
scenario,
two
the
scenario
three
assumes,
instead
of
a
four
thousand
dollar
teacher's
salary
increase,
is
fifty
percent
of
that
of
2
000.
H
H
M
Okay,
so
so
scenario,
one
scenario,
two
of
a
comparison
purposes
at
the
at
the
at
the
at
the
april,
art
and
finance
committee.
I
I
focused
on
scenario
two.
H
B
M
So,
for
for
us,
it's
for
us
here
locally,
no
for
us
here
locally,
we
can
probably
just
sort
of
like
discard
what
the
either
the
house
or
the
senate
or
the
final
budget
is,
is
because
whatever
it
is,
that
they
recommend
in
their
budget
in
the
state
budget
for
minimum
teacher
salary,
we're
already
above
that,
and
so
so
the
local
decision.
This
is
what
the
the
legislators
tell.
This
is
what
they're
communicating
the
local
this.
M
The
decision
to
increase
a
teacher's
salary
if
you're
already
above
the
minimum,
is
totally
a
local
decision,
a
local
school
board
decision
or
before
those
those
schools
school
districts
that
the
county,
the
county
government,
make
the
decision
for
them.
I
So
sort
of
would
it
make
more
sense
to
just
just
use
the
nine
point
million
across
the
board
in
all
the
scenarios,
if
that
is
the
position
that
that
the
county
is
taking,
that
you
would
do
a
2000
as
opposed
to
the
four
thousand.
I
think
the
I
think
having
that
19
million
in
that
first
scenario
tends
to
make
one
believe
that
that's
almost
like
a
mandatory.
So
if,
if
the
decision
was
made
just
to
go
with
the
2000,
would
it
not
from
a
comparison
purposes?
I
Would
it
not
be
better
to
have
that
at
9.5.
M
So
so
again,
the
state
has
communicated
wildly
that
especially
early
in
the
in
the
early
spring
late
winter,
that
there's
this
idea
of
four
thousand
dollar
teacher
increase,
and
so
I
thought
it
was
important
for
the
for
the
art
and
finance
committee,
as
well
as
the
board,
to
understand
what
the
state,
what
the
state's
initial
position
was
in
the
in
the
dollar
impact
that
would
have
if
we
made
a
decision
here
locally
to
to
honor
that
four
thousand
dollar
number,
but
certainly
certainly
when
we
take
when
we
take.
M
This
is
for
this
for
discussion
purposes
here.
But
when
we
take,
you
know
for
the
first
reading
of
the
budget,
we
would
not
be
taking
scenario
one
unless
at
this
point,
I'm
assuming
that
that
we
move
forward
with
scenario
three.
So
then
we
would
not
be
taking
scenario
one
forward
to
the
as
part
of
the
budget
and
first
we
know
on
may
23rd.
E
So
may
I
ask
the
question
joyce
sure
so,
first
off
just
to
to
calibrate,
because
I
think
it's
worthy
news
is
that
every
teacher
in
our
system,
under
the
scenario
three
is
going
to
receive
at
least
a
3
000
pay
raise
from
their
current
salary
to
their
next
one,
and
I
think
that's
good
and
I
think
that's
worthy.
E
I
think
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
wanted
y'all
to
see
the
salary
schedule,
because
sometimes
it's
when
you
have
all
these
high
numbers,
you
can
forget
that
they
really
are
divided
out
into
squares,
but
at
last
year
we
did
the
cola
and
a
thousand
dollars
on
that
budget.
And
then
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we
did
that.
E
Then,
no
matter
how
much
we
add
into
the
budget
next
year
and
during
the
school
year
next
year,
we
keep
hearing
that
you
can't
hire
teachers,
we're
paying
we're
paying
well
above
the
the
state,
and
I
know
that
our
cost
of
living
is
is
higher.
But
my
question
is:
when
do
we
reach
a
point
that
this
these
influxes
have
an
impact.
F
So,
mrs
coates,
so
teacher
salaries
across
not
just
south
carolina
across
the
nation
are
an
issue
when
it
comes
to
paying
making
sure
we're
paying
teachers
an
affordable
wage.
As
a
professional
charleston,
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
It
compounds
the
issue
with
the
cost
of
housing,
the
cost
of
living
in
charleston
and
many
of
our
brand
new
teachers
who
are
new
to
the
profession
making
41
000
a
year
have
more
than
one
job
to
make
ends
meet.
E
So,
thank
you
because
you
really
calibrated
it
right
then,
and
there
all
this
conversation.
Is
you
trying
your
best
to
get
to
50
000
without
the
board
and
or
the
numbers
becoming
so
exponential
in
one
year
that
we
all
start
bobby,
but
you're,
really
thinking.
We
need
a
teacher
salary
that
is
a
50
000
starting.
I
F
F
Right
and
just
respectfully
I'll
say
you
know
you
and
I
you've
been
on
the
board
for
some
time
now
and
we
rolled
out
the
salary
study
for
palmer
and
k.
We've
never
gone
to
100
market
for
the
non-teaching
positions
right.
So
we
need
to
revisit
that
and
anytime.
There
aren't
adjustments
made
due
to
the
budget
process.
We
lose
ground
there.
So
that's
that's
why
I
come
to
the
table
every
year
proposing
increases
to
our
salary
structures.
E
Right-
and
I
think
that
the
I
think
that
this
is
a
workable
increase.
My
I
think
at
some
point
we
have
to.
We
cannot
continue
to
increase
this
budget
by
35
45
million
dollars
year
over
year
and
put
that
kind
of
economic
pressure
on
the
cost
of
living
in
charleston
county,
and
then
it
creates
the
self-fulfilling
vortex
that
we're
creating
this
economic
pressure
onto
the
cost
of
living
in
charleston
county
ergo.
We
have
to
increase
our
expenses
because
of
the
cost
of
living,
and
I
I
don't
think
this
is
the.
E
I
think
this
is
a
conversation
which
we
need
the
the
administration
to
come
to
the
board
and
begin
that
conversation
months
before
the
budget,
where
I
don't
know
how
long
this
system
can
sustain
where
we
we
in
five
years
have
raised
on
we've
raised
our
portion
of
the
millage
20,
mil
20
points
in
five
years.
If
we
approve
the
9.1,
we're
a
huge
contributor
to
the
cost
of
living
increases
in
charleston
county,
and
then
we
say,
the
cost
of
living
increases
are
the
reason
we
have
to
then
turn
around
and
and
keep
increasing.
E
And
I
just
think
at
some
point:
I
urge
this
district
to
have
a
truly
substantive
conversation
about
that,
because
we're
increasing
you
know
the
perception.
Is
these
costs
don't
flow
back
to
the
consumer,
but
rent
is
exponentially
out
of
control
in
charleston
county
and
we
are
literally
raising
rent
every
time
we
raise
taxes
on
non-owner-occupied
homes
that
is
not
getting
absorbed
anywhere
else,
and
I
know
I'm
kind
of
preaching.
But
the
second
thing
is
we
never
have
a
substantive
conversation
of.
E
The
full
budget
will
be
over
1
billion
if
this
gets
approved,
but
I
I
I
just
felt
like
that
needed
to
be
said
because
a
couple
of
things
pop
out
you
we
have
these
struggles
and
we're
literally
doing
a
starting
salary
for
a
newly
created
executive
director
position
that
exceeds
our
revenue
for
the
position
and-
and
that's
that,
that's
what
I
see
when
I
see
that
charter
school
executive
director
position
they're
not
going
to
get
cheaper
as
the
years
go
on
they're
going
to
get
more
expensive
and
and
we
we.
E
We
start
these
things
out
upside
down.
Just
my
observations
and
I
still
struggle
with
the.
I
know
that
the
new
funding
formula
charleston
county
is
a
a
bonus
county.
Will
I've
seen
all
the
streams
to
all
the
districts,
but
I
don't
understand
how
a
population
of
capped
students
charter
schools
cannot
grow
their
population.
E
We
have
a
six
thousand
dollar
increase
in
cost,
so
I
just
I
just
think
at
some
point.
We
have
to
have
a
very
substantive
conversation
that
ties
this
to
the
fact
that
we're
we're
putting
pressure
on
that
economic
system,
and
we
we
have
to
at
least
acknowledge
that,
and
we
certainly
have
to
start
acknowledging
that
against
what
the
what
the
educational
things
were
were
doing.
Are
they
working
but-
and
I
appreciate
the
pressure
y'all
are
under.
I
just
felt
like
that
needed
to
be
on
the
public
record.
B
Thank
you,
miss
coats.
Are
there
any
questions
from
any
other
board?
Any
of
the
other
committee
members.
B
M
Ma'am,
so
I
will
next
go
to
the
section
below
the
required
increases.
The
first
number
is
the
negative
number
1.4
million.
I
mentioned
this
earlier
that
there
was
a
reduction
in
some
of
the
mission
critical
items,
so
that
represents
1.4
million
the
next
number
3.1
learning
services,
expansion,
that's
related
to
the
the
special
special
needs
students
staff
that
I
talked
about
earlier
and
then
the
next
section
here
all
relate
to
all
relate
to
salary
increases
walk
through
those.
So
that's.
M
My
stamps,
that's
the
you
had
asked
earlier
about
the
12
million
dollars,
and
so
this
section
I'm
going
through
right
now
that
starts
with
learning
services
represent
that
section
represent,
represents
that
12
million
dollars
that
you
asked
about.
So
here
are
the
details,
so
3.1
million
dollars,
as
I
mentioned
a
minute
ago
on
the
human
resources.
I
moved
teacher
cap
to
30
years.
So
currently,
if
you're
a
teacher
and
you're
in
the
system-
and
you
have
25
26
years
of
services,
you
don't
get
a
call,
a
salary
increase
beyond
that.
M
So
if
you
had
29
years,
you
won't,
you
won't
recognize
a
salary
increase,
and
so
this
1.6
million
dollars
is
to
to
move
that
cap
up
to
30
years.
M
M
Those
two
numbers,
then
combined
ensures
that
we
maintain
the
97
percent
market
for
for
that,
but
the
board
last
year
approved
the
97
market
based
on
the
stylish
study
that
bill
mentioned,
and
so,
if
we
don't
do
this,
then
we
would
drop
below
that
97
percent
of
market
and,
if
you
recall
also,
there
was
encouragement
by
the
board
and
the
committee
to
actually
move
this
year
closer
to
100
percent
of
market.
Because
of
the
budget
challenges
we
elected
to
recommend,
maintaining
97.
M
So
the
323
dollars
addresses
the
needs
of
our
hourly
employee,
which
are
the
lowest
paid
paid
employees
in
this
particular
category.
So
we
would
propose
and
take
the
minimum
hour
salary
up
to
seventeen
dollars
an
hour,
whereas
we
have
some
employees
that
are
making
eleven
dollars
and
seventy
cents
seven
one
cents
an
hour
an
hour.
That's
three
hundred
twenty
three
thousand
dollars,
then
on
the
next
page,
the
last.
The
last
item
is
to
remove
the
classified
salary
cap
and
that's
452
000..
M
So,
a
few
years
ago,
for
a
number
of
years,
actually
the
of
an
employee
classified
employee
worked
outside
worked
in
a
governmental
agency
other
than
the
school
district,
and
we
hired
them
and
let's
say
they
had
20
years
of
worth
of
services
we
they
would
all
get
credit
for
12
years
and
so
for
for
pay
purposes,
and
so
over
the
last
two
years,
we've
increased
that
to
15
years
of
services
and
then
last
last
year,
18
years,
and
so
what
this
proposal
is
to
do
is
to
remove
that
count.
M
So
that
then
comprises
the
12
million
increase
there
and
then
on
on
on
that
section
and
on
the
previous
page,
under
that
things.
M
Well,
on
the
section.
Well,
here
you
see
all
these
blanks,
but
beyond
below
the
450-2000.
These
are
coming
from
division
from
division
chiefs
for
for
additional
increases
expansions.
If
you
will
that
that
we
are
not
recommending,
at
least
in
the
first
reading
of
the
budget
until
we
understand
what
the
the
final
state
budget
might
be
coming
out
here
in
the
next
in
the
next
short
short
period
of
time,
hopefully
so,
a
twelve
thousand
dollar
increase
on
for
the
other
considerations.
M
So
we
again
just
the
the
total
fy23
expenditure
request,
just
a
repeat
of
the
summary
page,
then
45
million
dollars
funds
available
using
the
9.1
million
dollar
911
mill
increase
on
scenario.
Three
31
million
dollars
remaining
to
balance
is
14
million
and
then
below
that,
I
repeat
what
I've
already
talked
about,
how
we
would
balance
the
rest
of
the
14
million
put
for
those
three
items
there
so
that
that
in
the
next
page
the
next
page
is
the
repeat:
is
the
fund
balance?
M
So
it's
just
a
repeat
of
what
was
on
the
summary
page,
so
I
don't
need
to
go
through
that
again
other
than
say
that
we
had
145
million
dollars
again
in
our
fund
balance
in
the
fiscal
year
201
balance
sheet
and
when,
under
this
scenario,
when
we
closed
the
books
this
year,
we
would
be
slightly
under
that
at
144.9
million
and
with
the
budget
the
in
fiscal
year,
23
130.9
versus
the
budget
that
we
have
for
this
year.
This
is
important.
M
L
M
So
the
last
section
here
is:
it's
a
9.1
mill
increase
9.1
mil
increase.
What
would
be
the
impact
going
on
on
various
taxpayers,
so
the
first
one
is
the
unoccupied.
So
this
is
the
person
who
owned
own
his
or
her
house
and
live
and
live
in
it.
It
lives
in
it,
and
so
when,
assuming
that
assessed
home
home
property
value,
200
000,
the
increase
to
that
taxpayer
pair
would
be
zero
at
9.1
million.
M
The
reason
for
that
is
to
there
are
two
reasons
for
that
for
one
without
recommending
an
increase
in
the
debt
service
millage
and
then
the
the
taxpayer
that
owns
his
or
her
home
and
live
in
it
they're
exempt
from
school
district
operation
taxes.
So,
regardless
of
what
the
military
is,
there
will
be
zero
tax
impact
to
this
to
this
taxpayer.
M
Under
any
scenario,
the
next
one
is
the
non-unoccupied.
This
is
a
a
person
who
who
owns
property-
let's
say
a
house,
and
that
house
is
rented
out
until
assuming
an
assessed
home
value
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That,
first
of
all,
that's
not
exempt
from
for
paying
taxes
on
general
operating
fund,
so
that
taxpayer
would
see
a
third
at
the
bottom
in
yellow,
we'll
see
an
increase
of
37.80
next
year.
And
then
this
scenario.
M
The
next
one,
third
one
is
commercial
property,
so
this
is,
you
know,
business
property.
That
is
a
major
category
this.
That
category
is
a
major
contributor
to
school
district
operation
based
on
act
388
that
was
enacted.
You
know
14
years
ago,
or
so
so,
assuming
assessed
property
value
of
500
000
for
every
500
000
of
property
assessed
property
values.
That
increase
would
be.
M
M
I'm
sorry,
I
need
to
have
sean's
checks
on,
but
for
an
automobile
next
next
sheet
on
the
assuming
assessed
property
value
of
twenty
thousand
dollars,
then
there's
that
the
taxpayers
would
see
a
7.56
cents
increase.
M
M
You
know
so
I'm
gonna
have
to
apologize.
I
I
apologize
so.
Those
numbers
that
I
just
walked
through
are
are
inaccurate,
they're,
sorry,
they
are
accurate,
but
they
are
for
the
six
point
three
meal
increase.
I
realized
there.
I
had
two
two
copies,
so
that's
a
six
point:
three
mil
increase.
So
let
me
walk
through
the
nine
point,
where
a
9.1
mil
increase
all
right,
so
going
back
going
through
the
same
the
same
scenarios
on
the
next
page
on
owner
occupied.
That
number
is
still
zero.
M
Again,
if
you,
if
you,
if
you
live
in
your
house,
you
pay
zero,
zero
taxes
under
any
scenario
under
the
the
house
owner
that
that
rents,
the
house
out
that,
under
the
9.1
scenario,
that
the
increase
would
be
54,
54
and
60
cents
54.60
and
then
for
the
commercial
real
estate
property
assessed
property
values
at
500
000
for
every
500
000.
That
increase
would
it
would
be
273
dollars
for
the
year
and
then
for
the
automobile.
M
It
would
be
10.92
cents
and
then
for
the
general
operating
fund.
Excuse
me,
the
personal
property
is
ten
thousand
dollars
a
pro
personal
property.
Being
you
know,
sort
of
like
a
business
might
own
on
computers
or
whatever
those
those
personal
properties
are
so
for
every
ten
thousand
dollars
in
cess
value,
be
nine
dollars,
56
cents.
M
So
the
the
first
that
I
went
through,
which
I
I
didn't
realize
that
put
in
here,
were
on
the
on
the
6.3
mil
increase
at
which
I
had
presented.
I
think
I
know
I
think
I
presented
to
the
garden
finance
committee
last
month.
Certainly
I
presented
to
the
to
the
board
I
think
last
week.
So
what
what
other
questions?
What
questions
do
you
have
other
questions,
yeah.
E
So
don
I
have
one
question:
what
is
the
average
assessed
value
of
a
of
a
house
in
charleston
county?
I
know
we're
doing
that
for
100
000
but
they're.
It's
my
understand
and
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
correct
on
the
assessed
value.
But
in
your
conversations
with
the
county
you
read
in
the
paper
and
everything
and
say
the
median
house
is
300
plus.
Is
that
the
assessed
value.
M
It
is
not
so
we
can
get
you
the
average
the
100
dollars
that
you
referenced
is
for
the
the
person
who's
renting
a
house
out
the
two.
I
think
it's
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
owner-occupied
house
in
this
scenario,
but
we
can
get
the
average
what
that
average
is.
But
what
you
see
in
the
newspaper?
It's
not
says
property
values,
it's
the
actual
value
of
the
real
estate
house.
E
I
understand
the
need
to
do
the
tax
increase,
I'm
not
saying
that
anyway.
I
just
feel
like
we
have
to
get
very
clear
about
the
impact
that
it
has.
We
know
that
300
is
not
necessarily
value,
but
we
also
know
that
using
100,
which
is
what
the
district
has
done
for
the
last
seven
years,
is
also
not
an
accurate
indicator
of
how
much
an
individual's
rent
will
go
up.
Because
of
that-
and
I
just
I
would
like
us
to
try
to
get
a
handle
on
some
of
that.
B
If
not,
are
you
finished
miss
kennedy?
Is
there
anything
else
you
need
to
tell
us,
as
it
pertains
to
the
first
reading
of
the
budget.
M
So
the
only
thing
I
would
would
say
that
the
first
reading
of
the
budget
is
not
a
fi
is
not
a
final
budget.
This
year,
it's
different
than
any
year
that
I've
been
back
since
I've
been
back.
M
Is
that
at
this
point
in
the
first
three
in
the
budget
in
the
last
few
years,
we
had
a
better
sense
of
what
the
actual
revenue
was
going
to
be,
so
we
still
have
that
unknown
out
there,
as
it
relates
to
the
to
the
state
revenue
I'll,
be
in
columbia,
thursday,
with
the
superintendent's
roundtable
that
the
secretary
spearman
has
and
I'm
sure,
we'll
get
an
update.
M
So
we,
when
I,
when
we
out
you,
know
we'll
present
these
numbers
to
the
to
the
board
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
on
monday.
If
there's
an
update
by
then
I'll
I'll
update
update
the
committee
at
that
time,
but
but
otherwise
it
would
be
a
potential
change,
but
it
will
come
to
the
to
the
board
for
for
first
reading
on
may
23rd.
B
Okay,
so
the
the
staff
is
requesting
an
approval
on
first
reading
of
the
fiscal
23
budget,
using
the
9.1
mill
increase.
Do
I
have
a
motion
on
that.
H
A
H
Hope
that
the
committee,
or
that
the
full
board
appreciates
that
even
with
the
mill
increase,
we're
projecting
you
know
a
15
percent
dip
in
our
fund
balance
and
while
I
presume
we
can
survive
that
in
a
for
a
year.
We
need
to
be
really
careful
that
this
doesn't
become
a
multi-year
pattern.
That
you
know
it's
going
to
very
quickly.
Jeopardize
that
greta
rating.
So
I
approved
the
budget
and
I
proved
the
millage
increase.
H
Not
that
that's
my
approval,
but
I
prove
us
recommending
that,
but
but
hopefully
that
gets
passed
along
to
the
full
board.
B
K
E
B
Okay,
one
abstention
and
that
motion
carries
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
is
the
executive
session
if
any
of
the
committee
members
have
any
questions
comments
about
anything
that
we've
covered
in
the
regular
session
of
the
meeting?
B
If
not,
I
pre
thank
you
for
those
of
you
who
need
to
lead.
Thank
you
for
your
participation
and
your
input,
and
I
will
ask
that
those
of
you
who
are
not
associated
with
the
executive
session,
if
you
would
leave
at
this
time.
B
A
B
All
in
favor,
aye,
hi,
okay
and
the
item
14
was
for
information
purposes.
L
B
M
I
just
thought
reason:
I
bring
it
to
the
art
and
finance
committee
so
that
they
can
understand
where
the,
how
the,
how
the
rating
agencies,
how
they
view
our
financial
position
and
what
what
what
causes
cost
a
you
know
increase
in
our
ratings,
are
down
down
decreasing
our
ratings.
So
so,
for
me,
it's
discussion
with
the
art
and
finance
committee,
but
we
can
certainly
send
in
this
information
to
the
board.
I
think
I
think
the
only
time
I've
sent
it
to
the
full
board
when
we
actually
got
a
an
increase
in
our
rating.
B
Okay,
that's
fine
yeah
yeah,
I
just
was
you
know,
just
checking.
Okay,.
B
No
we're
not
going
to
put
it
on
okay,
anything
further
from
any
member
of
the
committee,
if
not
thanks,
as
always
for
your
participation
and
the
meeting
is
adjourned.
