She noted the rapid growth in knowledge in the information age and the need for students to learn in new ways, to understand how to access resources and information and changes in the preparation and training of teachers. | ||
| In the midst of these changes, both national and state standards have increased and educational programs are more diagnostic, data-driven and individualized to address the learning needs and styles of each child. | ||
| Mrs. Lyke noted she favors the end of grade level progressions and the development of individual education plans for all children, not only those with disabilities, as is presently the case. She added that local schools must provide programs and services which prepare students for careers in the global economy and community. |

| VII. | WORKSHOP SESSION • POTENTIAL CAPITAL PROJECT (Continued) |
| A. | FINANCIAL OVERVIEW • Costs Estimates, Reserve Funds, State Aid | ||
| Mr. Havens introduced Mr. Greg Atseff, assistant superintendent for business, to outline financial aspects as they relate to options for capital improvements for school facilities for review and consideration of the Board of Education. |
| Mr. Atseff reviewed the use of reserve funds, estimated year end revenues and expenses and state building aid ( summary report attached to these minutes in minute book) | |
| Mr. Nicholson asked what uses school districts most often make of reserve funds. Mr. Atseff noted that the most common are new construction, non-recurring legal issues, purchase of a large number of busses, catch-up on replacement of classroom furniture or musical instruments and energy savings/alternative energy sources (e.g. wind turbines, fuel cells). | |
| Mr. Nicholson asked how the addition of a second nuclear power station at current site would affect the district’s state building aid ratio. Mr. Atseff explained how the formula is developed using a 10-year average. | |
| Mr. Nicholson asked about long-range projections for capital expenses other than classrooms ( e.g . parking lots, boilers, roof maintenance ). Mr. Atseff stated those projections are in place and are used as part of this overall approach. Mr. Nicholson asked if such maintenance items are eligible for state building aid; Mr. Havens stated they are not. | |
| Mr. Havens noted we have financial ability to have more and better facilities, depending on what our community desires or would support. | |
| Mr. Griswold commented on the options available for use of currently available reserve funds | |
| Mr. Nicholson noted the importance to look beyond initial costs when projecting long-range cost savings on capital projects (e.g. energy savings, efficiencies of use, natural vz. artificial light). |
| Mr. Johnson noted the logistical issues caused with a school on a site isolated from the remainder of the campus and the need to eliminate different sentiments in two attendance areas of a common school district. | |
| When asked to indicate preferences for the options noted above, trustee selections were four (4) for Option #2, three (3) for Options #3 & #4 and two (2) for Option #1. Options #5 & #6 were not selected. |

Consensus Agenda #4
To: Michael Havens, Superintendent of Schools
Fr: Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent for Business
Date: July 31, 2007
Re: School Lunch Prices
Currently the cost for a school breakfast and lunch for our students are:
Breakfast - $.75 (full price), $.25 (Reduced)
Lunch - $1.60 (full price), $.25 (Reduced)
It is my recommendation that these prices remain the same for the 2007/2008 school year.
The school lunch program had an operating loss of approximately $55,000 for the 2006/2007 school year (please note this amount is unaudited). In looking at the operating loss for 2006/2007, it is important to note that there was $58,000 worth of equipment purchased. A third serving line was added at the middle school, which accounted for the bulk of that money. This was done to accommodate the building moving to a block schedule.
At this time, we are estimating the fund balance at year-end in the school lunch fund will be approximately $148,000. We have a quality school lunch program. I feel that we can maintain that same level of quality at the current price levels, while keeping the school lunch fund in good financial shape. The school lunch prices have not been increased since the 2001/2002 school year. This is a tribute to the leadership of our school lunch director, Nique Wilson. She does an outstanding job of running a quality cost effective program, as evidenced by the fact that prices have not increased for six years.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or need additional information.
Consensus Agenda #5
To: Michael Havens, Superintendent of Schools
From: Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent for Business
Date: July 31, 2007
Re: Corrective Action Plan for General Fund
A corrective action plan is required under section 170.12 of the regulations of the Commissioner of Education in response to issues identified in the management letter provided by the district’s independent auditor. A corrective action plan has been developed addressing all issues identified in the district’s management letter, for the audit for the 2005/2006 school year.
A copy of the plan is attached, and needs to be approved by the board of education. Once the plan has been approved, a copy must be submitted to the State Education Department. I recommend that the Board of Education approve the corrective action plan at their August 16, 2007 meeting.
Corrective Action Plan for 2005/2006 – General Fund
General Accountability
The Assistant Superintendent for Business will approve journal entries posted to the general ledger. To completely implement the rest of the recommendation, the district would need to hire additional staff. This is not being recommended at this time.
Bank Reconciliations
The business office instead of the treasurer, will receive the bank statements unopened and review the cancelled checks and deposits, prior to the bank reconciliation process. This will occur in the 2007/2008 school year.
Offsite Cash Collections
Athletic event admissions procedures have been developed by the administrative council during the 2005/2006 school year and implemented.
Electronic Funds Transfer
All call backs for electronic fund transfers will be documented by the secretary in the business office. This will occur in the 2007/2008 school year.
Medicaid
The office of student services brought this procedure in house, then had a change in staffing. This is currently handled by the assistant to the Director of Student Services, and is up to date.
Payroll
I-9’s are handled by the human resources office. The payroll clerk will not process any pay for any employee whose documentation is not complete, i.e. I-9 not on file, IT-2104 not on file.
Laser Printing Controls
This issue was resolved with the purchase of the Finance Manager software program for the district.
Fixed Assets
The district will have a physical inventory performed during the 2007/2008 school year.
Special Aid Fund
This was a timing issue due to a deposit in transit.
School Fiscal Oversight and Accountability Legislation
All five areas have been implemented during the 2006/2007 school year.
Consensus Agenda #6

FROM: Gregory J. Atseff

DATE: August 16, 2007
