STATE FUNDING


Explanation of the Fair School Funding Plan (HB 110) applied in 2021-2022

CURRENT FINANCIAL STATE
We have been placed in a Precautionary Fiscal State due to our low general fund balance in FY25 and a negative general fund balance in FY26. We completed, Board approved, and submitted the required Written Plan and Narrative.

End of February 2024, our bank statements looked like this:

Daily Operations = $2,869,265.89

Investments = $1,727,671.35
We have received tax advances in February and will be receiving our tax settlements in March. We received our settlement from Clinton County, and our tax collection will be $670,346.71 more than we received last spring. (The forecast includes an $826,577 increase.) The forecast anticipates collecting $641,594 in March for property taxes and the Clinton County receipt alone was $518,570.83. The Clinton County Auditor is showing us receiving $1.3 million more form the recent reappraisal. We receive fall and spring tax payments, so those are split between our fiscal years. The forecast includes a $1.6 million increase from FY23 to FY25. (The additional $300k is predicted from the Warren County reappraisal in 2024.)
2023 is a reappraisal year for Clinton County and 2024 is a reappraisal year for Warren County. Taxes will not increase that much, just the actual property values. There are exemptions that residents qualify for as well as different millage rates. Speaking of rates, our bond millage rate is decreasing from 1.5 to 1.2.

To give you a frame of reference, it costs our district an average of $460,000 for each payroll (semimonthly), $245,000 for our insurance each month (District side only), and $10,000 for Medicare each month (District side only).

Granted, we get about $324,500 twice a month from State Funding (which in addition covers our STRS/SERS [pensions] each month).

For our income tax, we get quarterly payments at the ends of January, April, July, and October.  2024 will be the last year your income will be taxed under this levy. The renewal we sought in March 2024 failed, so we are determining how much we will be asking for on the November 2024 ballot.
COVID FUNDING From 2021 - 2024, we were allocated $2,895,435.08 total monies granted through various Coronavirus Relief Efforts.  This money could only be used to prepare, prevent, or respond to the COVID-19 pandemic unless otherwise specified.   We used our Coronavirus Relief / ESSER money ($2,244,882.56) for hotspots and chromebooks with hotspots; campus-wide Wi-Fi; (along with the $551,466.16 in BroadBand Ohio Connectivity dollars); salaries for social workers, technology assistants, cafeteria (while there was no incoming revenue March - May 2020 yet we still were providing meals), teachers specifically addressing learning loss, summer school intervention; the unsafe portion of our Annex demolition; disinfecting/sanitizing supplies; PPE; 2 buses; HVAC repair; Chiller replacement; and a school-based health center.  We used our ARP Homeless and IDEA money ($100,256.52) for a Homeless Resource Navigation Pilot program to address financial instability and homelessness and additional staff and more training to better handle the needs of our Kindergarten through second grade special needs students.  We have spent all of this money by the end of the school year in June of 2023. We greatly appreciate the Clinton County Commissioners and Massie Township Trustees for granting us some of their Coronavirus Relief funds as well!
