Monitoring: 2024-2025 Preliminary Budget Update: Director of Business Services Austin Moore shared the 2024-2025 budget that will be published in the Waupaca County Post the next couple of Thursdays. In summary, revenue is down and expenses are up, therefore we will have a shortage. He advised that it will be a little over a week before we receive the final numbers from the State. However, because of spending last year, it is projected that state aid may possibly be up. The District will also be receiving $100,000 per Act 12 which relates to personal property aid. Those are the only changes to the preliminary budget since the Finance Committee meeting. Interim District Administrator Craig Gerlach introduced Greg Gaarder of CESA 5 who assisted the District in creating the budget. Mr. Gerlach advised that the District has had a deficit for two years in a row and has had to dip into the fund balance which cannot continue. The budget hearing is scheduled for October 29 and the information provided tonight may change slightly at that time. He noted that the District is a low-spending district so there is nothing really to cut. Therefore, an operational referendum may need to be considered. A tool that could help is defeasance regarding our debt service (capital project) fund, where we prepay debt off early to save on interest, which in turn flattens out the mill rate. Currently, the mill rate is going down but when going to an operational referendum, the mill rate increases. He also noted that the tax levy will go down next year. Mr. Gerlach advised that he has been working with Baird on the defeasance option and suggested that another Finance Committee meeting be scheduled prior to the budget hearing at which time a representative from Baird would provide information regarding defeasance. Summer School Report: Mr. Moore presented the District’s Summer School Report. There was a total enrollment of 1,009 students which equates to 66 FTEs. He also provided the required DPI report. The District received $11,442 per student, for a total revenue projection of $302,080. This was a significant increase in revenue over the past few years thanks to the Administration regarding the classes being offered as well as staffing. The Food Service Program also had a small profit. Mr. Moore expressed his gratitude on behalf of the District to Waupaca Learning Center Principal John Erspamer as well as to all of the community partners involved with the summer school program. Administration: 3rd Friday in September Enrollment Report: Mr. Moore shared the 3rd Friday in September enrollment report. The District had a total enrollment of 2,057 students which is up 24 students from this time last year, and equates to 2,001 FTEs or an additional $92,000 (approximately) in revenue. Early Graduation Requests: High School Principal Michael Werbowsky advised that 22 WHS students are requesting to graduate early. These students and their parents have discussed their request with him and their school counselor. A motion was made by Dale Feldt and seconded by Lori Verhalen to approve the early graduation requests of the 22 Waupaca High School students as presented. The motion carried unanimously on a voice vote. Sale of 515 School Street Property : Mr. Moore advised that the District owns property at 515 School Street which is currently being leased to CESA 5. Because there had been some interest shown in purchasing the property, the Administration reviewed the maintenance costs, upgrades, and lease income and recommended the property be made available for purchase. A motion was made by Dale Feldt and seconded by Molly McDonald to accept the resolution made by Administration that the School District of Waupaca publicly notices that the property located at 515 School Street, Waupaca, WI 54981, is available for purchase. The School District will be accepting offers to purchase the property. The Board will review all offers available by November 8, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. The District is not obligated to sell this property if the available offers do not satisfy the needs and interests of the School District of Waupaca at the sole discretion of the Board of Education. The motion carried unanimously on a voice vote. Grant Writer Update: Mr. Moore shared the Grant Writer’s report which outlined a cumulative history as well as the year-to-date status of grants awarded and pending. This included a $20,000 grant to support and offset some of the costs of the District’s EL program, as well as a $5,000 grant to support educational outreach events which District Librarian Sarah Hanneman is working on. There are two additional grants being worked on, both relating to cybersecurity which will help offset some of those costs.
