From:  Gregory Atseff, Assistant Superintendent for Business
 
Date:  September 28, 2007
 
Re:  Year End Financial Position
 
 
 
 Below is an analysis of our financial position at year end for 2006/2007.
       
     Year End Financial Position
 
Beginning Fund Balance     $2,140,455
Revenues           38,763,825
Expenditures           (35,250,766)
Carryover Encumbrances (510,681)
 
   TOTAL       $5,142,833
 
2006/07 Appropriated Fund Balance     (900,000)
 
2006/07 Unappropriated Fund Balance   (1,187,172)
 
    Excess Fund Balance $3,055,660
 
 
 As the numbers above show, we were able to meet our financial goals established during the 2007/2008 budget process. This is very important because any shortfall in the $900,000 appropriated fund balance, would have added to the tax rate increase of 0% that was projected at budget time. We need to have the Board of Education approve the transfer of the $3,055,660 excess fund balance to reserve funds to bring the district to the 3% legal limit for unappropriated fund balance.
 
I recommend the following transfers:
 
Capital Reserve       $2,355,660
Bus Reserve         $ 700,000
 
  Total           $3,055,660
 
Once the transfers are done, the balance in the Capital Reserve will be $4,652,518, and the balance in the Bus Reserve will be $2,014,999, as of June 30, 2007.

RE:   Internship
DATE:   October 5, 2007
 
 
Last month you heard a presentation from Mr. Siracuse regarding an administrative internship for Nikki Miller. Nikki has been a driving force in the Model Schools program. She will be leading the implementation of the program as part of her internship. I heartily recommend the approval of her internship.
 
Although Mr. Johnson can not be here, you will recall that he enthusiastically expressed support for her position.
