July Month End Balances:
Education Fund - $904,883.70
Operations Fund - $1,610,771.43
Debt Service Fund -$781,842.89
Rainy Day Fund - $2,216,505.26
Year to date, we have transferred $200,000 from the education fund to support the operations fund. We will monitor the funds after this 3 pay month in August and then reassess when to start making transfers again. July interest income was $57,968.84. The interest agreement with First Farmers expires in November so we’ll be discussing renewal in the next month or so.
Our DOE Form 54 Report has been updated to reflect our new state tuition support payments. For July, our payment was $935,462. For reference, our payments for a few months prior ranged from $920,000 to $923,000 per month. The new payment is based on the last count in February: 1388 (1366 in person and 22 virtual). Our next count date is October 2nd.
We’re in the middle of budget drafting. The DLGF has estimated our property tax cap loss to the Operations Fund will be $600,000 for 2025. Last year, they estimated $568,000 and the actual figure came in at $525,485.
The following policies and administrative guidelines are being presented today for second reading, approval, and discussion. All of the administrative guidelines, policies, and bylaws are recommended for approval as written.
Annually the Board of School Trustees must approval the Certified Appraisal Plan. The appraisal plan meets all the criteria outlined by Indiana State Code I.C. 20-28-11.5-4. There are no changes in the plan from the 2023-2024 plan.
Each school corporation must re-adopt policy regarding distribution of Teacher Appreciation Grants. This policy is unchanged from last year.
It is recommended the board re-adopt Policy 3220.01 as written.
