includes any adjustments for staffing, facility usage and other factors related to
the educational programs. It is anticipated that the 2014-15 Budget will result in
a difference of approximately $1 million between revenues and expenditures,
which indicates an accuracy within 0.7% of the total budget. Although the
revenues/expenditures failed to meet the original budget levels, programs and
expenses were adjusted during the year to provide that level of accuracy.
Charter School expenses have levelled during the past two years and it is
anticipated that unless additional programs are approved within the school
district, that the costs will be relatively stable. Based upon prior year trends and
800 students enrolled in 2013-14, it was estimated that the charter school
enrollment for 2014-15 would be approximately 825 students. With the opening
of a district operated cyber-school and alternatives for students, the enrollment
for 2014-15 was approximately 790 students, resulting in an expenditure of $9.4
million. Despite one local brick/mortar charter school increasing enrollment for
2015-16, the number of students enrolled has remained constant. Although the
costs may increase based upon the tuition rate, it is anticipated that more students
are returning to district programs and this cost has stabilized.
The School District has continued progress with a guaranteed contract with the
FSMC, initiated an updated POS system accounting for student participation,
and appointed a Food Service Supervisor to directly oversee the operations. It is
anticipated that the district will realize an increase in documented participation,
revenue from that participation, and overall improvement of the program during
the 2015-16 fiscal year.
2. The School District is working with the provider of the system software to provide a
non-disclosure agreement. This understanding has been a part of the original
contract with the former owner of the software, but subsequent changes require an
update in the contract language.
3. Due to the excessive cost of a full disaster recovery program, the District has
implemented alternatives to a full off-site, independently owned system, which at this
time is not financially viable for the district.
