Science Curricular Resource Adoption

Curricular Materials Approval Process

Assistant Superintendent, Scott Jaworski
Director of Food Service, Adam Proulx
Director of Technology, Steven Gingerich

With March being a 3 payroll month, we ended the month with balances as follows:

Education Fund - $443,791.22
Operations Fund - $609,090.52
Debt Service remains at $240,323.06
Rainy Day Fund remains at $2,253,080.26

Our circuit breaker report reflecting actual property tax cap loss to the Operations Fund will be published soon, usually by May 1st. When building the budget in 2023 for 2024, the DLGF provides an estimated figure based on data they have available at the time. estimated loss was calculated at $568,000. If the loss comes in higher than expected, we’ll have to scale back appropriation/spending. If the loss comes in lower or on point, no adjustments need to be made other than monitoring other revenues as always. Our actual property tax cap loss last year was $498,385.

At our February 12, 2024 meeting, we requested permission to advertise two additional appropriations of $325,000 from the Rainy Day Fund and $88,380 from the Operation Fund.  Advertisement was made in the Kokomo Tribune on February 21, 2024 and again on March 27, 2024.

The $88,380 appropriation from the Operation Fund was approved in our March meeting.  Tonight we are asking for approval of the additional appropriation $325,000 from the Rainy Day Fund for upgrades to "The Inferno."  The Rainy Day Fund will be reimbursed using proceeds from the Friends of the Inferno capital campaign.   It is recommended the Board approve the Additional Appropriations Resolution.  

By this time last year, TCSC selected science materials through the committee process under the coordination of Mr. Jaworski, for curricular materials adoption.  With changes in textbook policy, IDOE encouraged schools to place the adoption "on-hold" for a year until greater clarity could be found on the process.  This winter, the adoption committee assembled again and are ready to make their recommendation.
