• 90% of all students will earn a Regents diploma by 2008
• 90% of all students will rank at Level 3 or 4 on state language arts and math exams in grades K-4 and 5-8 by 2009

From:  Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent for Business
 
Date:  October 7, 2004
 
Re:  Adjustment to 2004 Year-End Financial Transfers
 
 
We need to make an adjustment to the 2004 year-end financial transfers, which the Board of Education approved at the September 9th meeting. At the time I made the recommendation, I didn’t realize that the Bus Reserve, which has a $1,250,000 cap, already had $1.217,842 contributed to it since it’s adoption in May 2002. Based on these figures, we are only able to transfer $32,158 into the reserve, not the $750,000 included in my original recommendation. This will change when we have the voters adopt a new bus reserve as part of the 2005/2006 budget vote.
 
I am recommending the creation of a new reserve. I recommend the Board approve the creation of an Insurance Reserve. This reserve would be for the purpose of self-funding deductibles associated with claims and losses the district incurs. This reserve is in accordance with General Municipal Law 6N. Money can be put in and transferred out through board action. The district can contribute up to 5% of our total budget each year. The creation of this reserve will also help contribute to the long- range financial stability of the district.
 
The excess fund balance as of June 30, 2004 was $1,076,288. Listed below are the new transfer amounts being recommended:
 
Liability Reserve    $526,288
Bus Reserve       32,158
Insurance Reserve     517,842
 
Total       $1,076,288
