The financial report for January 2024. Ending Cash Balance in each fund:
Education $930,725
Debt Service $240,873
Operation $1,186,547
Rainy Day $2,253,080
March is a three pay month so our cash balance in the education fund will decrease.
Western School Corporation is the LEA (Local Education Agency) for the Kokomo Area Special Education Cooperative. Earlier this year, Western School Corporation moved up their spring break time frame to the last full week of March for 2024-2025 academic year. This presents a significant problem since students would be without some special education services for up to two weeks. In order to maintain needed services for our students we are recommending a change to our spring break from March 27 - April 3, 2025 to March 20 - March 27, 2025. This change will have an impact on how we handle snow make-up days due to state standardized testing schedules.
Permission is being asked to advertise for Mowing bids. This would be done in time for the 2024 mowing season and would be a two-year (2) contract. Bids would be approved at the March board meeting.
It is recommended that the board give permission to advertise for Mowing Bids for the 2024 and 2025 mowing seasons.
We are asking for permission to advertise two additional appropriations of $325,000 from the Rainy Day Fund and $83,380 from the Operation Fund. The appropriation out of Rainy Day, will fund renovations to "The Inferno" that will be reimbursed by sponsors and donors through the "Friends of the Inferno" capital campaign. The $83,380 appropriation from the Operation Fund allows the board to spend excess funds from the retired 2012 and 2013 bond issuance on a capital improvements for the Tipton Middle School and Tipton High School Phase 2 projects. It is recommended the board approve the advertisement of the Additional Appropriations.
According to IC 5-11-10.5-2, all warrants or checks, outstanding and unpaid for a period of two or more years as of December 31 of each year, shall be declared void. The list of checks in your board packet will be cancelled upon approval.
Our food service contract is up this year. We will begin the process of developing a Request for Proposals the end of this month for approval in March. Attached is the process for procuring a contract with a food service company.
