For 2022, we ended the year with a cash balances as follows:

Education Fund  -  $639,373
Operations Fund  - $1,225,785
Debt Service  -  $1,167,894
Rainy Day Fund  -  $2,337,285

The Education Fund balance is steady and we’ll continue to monitor the Operations Fund and the need to transfer from supporting revenues from education fund and deposit interest revenues to Operations during the first 6 months of 2023.  These revenues support the Operations fund to offset the costs of general administration, central/fiscal services, custodial and maintenance services/supplies, utilities, liability insurance and those types of costs. We received tax revenues in December totaling $1,383,630.40 and these revenues support the transportation department salaries, benefits, maintenance of buses and fuel, bus purchases, and capital projects. Our next tax draw will not arrive until mid to late June 2023. Bus purchases discussed and approved last year for delivery in 2023 will total $438,350.

The 2023 Budget for Education, Debt Service, Operations and Rainy Day has been provided in your documents.  

We're all set and match our 1782 Notice budgeted amounts from the DLGF plus purchase order carryovers.  We did not submit a budget to the DLGF for the Rainy Day Fund,  however, we rolled over the remaining appropriation from 2022 to 2023 for use on the greenhouse so we wouldn't have to do an additional in 2023.

As of January 1, 2023, the federal mileage rate reimbursement increased 3 cents to 65.5 cents a mile.  This is the rate TCSC employees can use to reimburse travel related to professional development and meeting not held on the TCSC campus.  The recommendation before you is to increase the TCSC mileage reimbursement to the 2023 federal rate of 65.5 cents per mile.

The classified employee handbook allows for twelve month employees to receive payment in lieu of days for up to 5 unused vacation days during a calendar year.  Payment is based on the employees daily rate multiplied by the number of unused days (up to 5).  

It is recommended the Board of Trustees approve payment for unused vacation days for the 3 employees listed in the attached memo.

Indiana Code 35-44-1-1-4 requires the Board of School Trustees annually sign, approve, and submit the Uniform Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement.  It is recommended the Board of School Trustees approve the Uniform Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statements completed by Andrea Campbell, Robert Cochrane, Jennifer Humrichous, Amber Rodibaugh, Susan Sloan, Jason Springer, and Eric Underwood.

Dr. Glaze recommended the re-appointment of Andrea Campbell to the City of Tipton Redevelopment Commission, and the appointment of Robert Cochrane to the Tipton County Redevelopment Commission.
