Public Hearing Board President, Wingerter called the advertised 2012 Budget, CPF Plan, Bus Replacement Plan and Additional Appropriation for General Fund 2012 to order at 6:06 pm. There was a quorum with three members present: Rob Wingerter, President, Jane Burgess, Vice President and Mrs. Shari Richey, Secretary. (Mr. Jim Longest, Member and Mr. Bill Stanczykiewicz, Member: absent.) Also in attendance: Dr. Scott Robison, Superintendent, Mr. Mike Shafer, CFO, Mr. Bob Bostwick, Chief Operating Officer, several members of the ZCS staff, student body and community. Mr. Wingerter asked for a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Mr. Wingerter introduced Mr. Shafer who presented through a PowerPoint presentation an explanation of the 2013 proposed budget including CPF, Bus Replacement and Additional Appropriations for 2012. At the conclusion of Mr. Shafer’s presentation, Mr. Wingerter asked the board to comment. Mrs. Richey thanked Mr. Shafer for his comprehensive report and confirmed that the Rainy Day Fund total will now be only one percent of the budget while historically it had been ten to twelve percent. She noted page 15 of the budget book as helpful in that is points out three variables that impact the budget. Further, she remarked that ADM (enrollment) has a minimal impact on per pupil funding as compared to the complexity index and the past year’s revenue (which she indicated was a strangely powerful variable in this all-important formula for our funding). She remarked that state funding for public schools has been cut by over one billion dollars since 2010. Dr. Robison offered some points of emphasis from Mr. Shafer’s presentation: 1) as a result of last November’s successful ballot question election to restructure debt, ZCS will gain some relief from the circuit breaker tax credits that lower important budgets (Capital Projects, the transportation funds, and Debt Service), and 2) Dr. Robison reminded the Board and audience that that school bus service is no longer optional, as statute changed and now requires this service of ZCS. Mr. Wingerter stated that the Rainy Day Fund exists due to the sale of property in Union Township and an excess from the Bus Replacement Fund several years ago. He added that students today are not getting the same education as they did in the past based on inflation and dollars spent. There was discussion about referendum dollars only being available through the budgetary process. Mr. Shafer explained that for the next three budget cycles, there will be a line item for the referendum dollars and the board has discretion in use of the fund. Mr. Wingerter asked for public comment, hearing none, he adjourned the Public Hearing at 7:18 pm and immediately called the Monthly Meeting to order.

Report

Last May, the Board of School Trustees approved a plan to “bridge” our finances through the 2012-2013 school year to allow us to reduce class sizes and restore some programs. The bridge plan was a response to our successful operating referendum on the May 2012 ballot, and was necessary because funding from a referendum follows the property tax collection cycle. This means we would see no increase in our funding until June 2013 from the referendum. We did not want to wait through the entire 2012-2013 school year with the large class sizes we would otherwise have had and essentially lose the progress we could accomplish were we to move forward to restore programs.


Consequently, a plan with three key elements was devised by the administration and approved by the Board to allow us to move forward in 2012-2013 even before referendum funds are received. Two of these elements involved use of the Rainy Day Fund in 2012 and again in the first half of 2013. However, the third component of the bridge plan was the use of our 2012 Full-Day Kindergarten state grant. Since the legislation providing Full-Day Kindergarten grants was not enacted by the legislature until spring 2012, it was not approved by the state in time to be included in our original budget for 2012. To gain state regulatory authorization, or essentially state permission, to expend the funds to be received this year from the grant, we must apply to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) for this permission, which is technically called an “additional appropriation” in state statute. It should be noted that the approval of an additional appropriation by the Board of School Trustees now enables us to complete the required DLGF forms and submit the additional appropriation as a request for the state’s approval. If DLGF approves the appropriation, we will be able to complete the calendar year 2012 portion of our bridge plan as previously approved locally by the Board of School Trustees.

Taking action now allows for the funds to be able to be spent per the decision of the Board in regard to the bridge plan that the Board has already approved.


None identified. Objective NEGATIVES related to this item or approach:

It is recommended that the Board adopt the accompanying resolution, specifying the amount of the additional appropriation for 2012 from the General Fund.


The funds to be received from the Full-Day Kindergarten grant are needed to pay instructional costs to which the Board has already committed under the plan approved for the 2012-2013 school year.
