For November, we ended the month with $718,013.06 in the education fund, $241,215.69 in the operations, and $836,071.29 in the debt service fund.
In the education fund, revenues totaled $937,193.50 and $43,302.44 of this amount was for summer school reimbursement. This week DOE advised they are in the process of reviewing submitted curricular material costs and running calculations. They will be paying that out this month Operations revenues totaled $29,537.32. I’ve been in contact with the county treasurer’s office to determine when we will receive the fall settlement so we can finish the year on a positive note. They anticipated having that drafted and to the state for review by December 8th so I’ll keep in contact on that.
After reviewing our education and operations fund appropriation balances remaining along with expected expenses to be paid through 12/31, there was no need to request additional appropriations to finish out the year.
Year-to-date interest totals $395,705.36. Funds will be restored to Rainy Day and the 2023 GO Fund once we receive the construction project proceeds on December 28th.
Once I have the closing documents from the two new construction projects, I will upload those into Gateway, and then our DLGF rep can begin to work on our 2024 budget figures. We then wait for the 1782 notice to be issued.
In order to close out the 2023 budget, all major budget accounts must not show a deficit. Inter/Intra fund transfers of appropriations allow schools to transfer surplus appropriations to accounts needing additional appropriation.
It is recommended that the Board approve the transfer of appropriations to close the 2023 budget. A summary will be made available to the Board at the January meeting.
The approval of this resolution is necessary in order to submit our 1003 waiver to the IDOE to allow us to use 3 days for professional development in the 2024-2025 school year.
Over the past few weeks the board has sought information regarding a policy change allowing homeschool students to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Our next step would be to approve a policy change. If the board approves a change, then we will have the first reading of the new policy that is in your packet. We would need a motion to change Tipton Community School Corporation's policy for homeschool student participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities (Yes vote to change the policy; No vote to keep the policy the same).
