workshop for a fiscal year 2003 budget for 2023 and it's time to go do a few things with you if that's okay when you're ready so can you see my screen OK Google thanks okay just some basic information regarding the Jackson County School District Friday May 6th 2022 approximately 2,200 and it does include our transportation of is that the state funding has changed based on the governor's funny plan and we'll talk a little bit about that shortly looking at our revenues the South Carolina Department of Education provided funding manual which is the guidance Sidelines that he used to be able to remain in compliance with funds disbursed from the South Carolina School District so we're looking at the educational Finance Act of 1977 what does UFA your education Improvement add of a 1984 which is your e i a Child Development which is not a state district and find the f country fun day program big things going on right now is your new government spending plan and with that I'm going to give you a smart overview of what this entails and that's the strategy of this funny thing plan was to fund classrooms based on the average students in a classroom which is your average student teacher ratio when we was trying to find a way to make all districts a portable small and large so by doing this they targeted Dove Way that means budget and student-teacher ratio at about 11 and then they using your 135 then count as you're adding an admin to determine the number of teachers that will be funded by the state oh and that being said when calculating is a to a classroom program it does you calculate the number of teachers needed to serve the estimated student Tommy wanted you to 11.2 students your calculation calculating the cost of each teacher is based on air mattress and 12 years which is your average of 60 of a teacher in South Carolina and the French included was beautiful deep 69153 and you're also calculating the cost by multiplying the number of needed teachers times the cost of each teacher and one make a note that this setup has allowed to stay to share a share to be 75% and the local sheriff to be 25% I would like to watch that back and going forward and taking a look at just a note that at one point all of your state funding with 100% funded by the state so this new state funding plan has where they're only funding 75 send two local school districts and the other 25% Blood come from the local level so as I said something to consider in this particular budget including well that greatly recognized portion that we just talked about with the 75/25 split it will be the second courses for certified staff and that includes the level per year the ad is based on your Senate finance committee reading the house had a different reading which was $4,000 per step per year on that particular scale and there has not been a consensus to it however we've noted in past readings that most likely things to happen in the Senate on the ones that actually move forward so even the $2,000 when you look at this and the end this particular budget I'm sorry they're also increased the benefits which is your employer share of 17.1% that's large this is going to be funded by the state there's also that annual retirement increase we are also looking at increasing the bus driver pay scale I'm about 18 aesthetic had mandated at the house both ended and 82nd crazy but in order to make us more I guess I'm going to say more it's best that we had to start the bus call classified staff and a 3% new federal regulations on recording of the maintenance of equity and what you will see in this particular budget is that we had to remove some of the salaries and some of those federally funded programs we had to put those in general fund and remove them from those programs in order to meet the new guidance of the Menace of equity not trying to have him removed the technology is actually what network do all technology needs to go through the technology office stop all request and then this version of the budget will only include expenditures as we have not received a final allocation from the county and State speaking of the county . this year so there is still some questions as moving image values on that level as well as we know that the Lexington South Carolina legislation is still and there has not been a final meeting on what version of their budget they're going to adopt weather in the senate or the house version any questions so far will we get a copy of this at you showing now because it's not in the packet yes ma'am this is just for the PowerPoint and then I'll be happy the one thing in this mall no I'm already shared it with every Board member Miss Carter they have it in their inbox just wanted to take a look at what you are proposing to be a certified Valley schedule for this upcoming year and educational level address starting salary for each teacher 20 years of experience and a bachelor's degree at $30,915 and to make sure that we're staying in compliance with the state the average salary for the state senate of the same version of the salary scale is 38 thousands left us a little over what the state minimum salary also noted that this is the supposed broken of the I'm sorry the bus driver salary schedule for Jasper and that starts the salary for a bus driver was doing years of experience at 1712 an hour here you can have what is mandated by the state for them State minimum for bus drivers this is the 20 20 20 21 version of that scale there is usually experience less than $7.85 at that time they have mandated for the Senate at home screen of the budget increase of 8% for the dish B family almost 15% based on the previous scale question question mrs. Carter in Russian does this pay scale reflect or is this still where they're going to be paid for 6 hours or 8 hours how's that going to work they still movie he don't work guaranteed hours well as PC on the scale and I think I'm sorry stepped on the scale here and we'll try to go back so I can pull it up on but as you can see we have we have a family for that particular person will be 4 hours 5 hours $6 Romeo what day will be paid however if the district wants to continue with the if it's guaranteed to think of course that's at the discretion of the board and will make the reception to to do so couldn't we speak of being competitive and surrounding areas surrounding areas and all came but I was not work is that correct I believe that is sold that I know of actually pay is based on the scale I mean on just a scale or Karen Team 6 hours they actually are paid but they actually drives so that's fine. bus drivers animals count to an hourly employee Gary Neville from here to here if a bus with the ideas be counted as experience years or would it be starting at single I think that we would need to talk I'm not sure hey so I'm sorry the budget of you and I hope you're okay are you weird you still State schedule let me pull up are you stop sharing that yes ma'am so just looking at this particular budget just wanted to make sure that I am remind you that we can't believe you don't have a budget for Rapid portion of this budget so what you will see now at the proposed expenditures for the fiscal year for each department can you add and each other and every other sorry I'm glad that you had before you will know that note that have the same Department as well as the same schools the only difference in this particular budget that you will actually see if that we have added Middle High School Hardeeville the Junior Senior High Hardeeville Junior Senior High and he'll also added in the Ridgeland secondary Academy of Excellence so the historical bags of The Middle the high school remain in the budget and will drop off after 5 years just to have everyone on the same page a public budget and 38 million dollars which is an increase from the previous year and why we are saying it's a great increase you would like though that it is based on our lunch meeting but added cockle and values do to the reassessment which will give us far more than what we've had in the past so that's something to keep in mind as we move forward a shirt. under the bridge at exit and of course we make Cuts as necessary we have a date for the new federal got it that is stated as maintenance of equity so that allows us to for federal programs to have all this money Ashley designated to the most impoverished and what we've done in pretty much taken all of the federal funds majority of the federal funds that were at the district level and you can actually put those salaries in the general fund and we're able to move the majority of those. so what why you see that increased here for certified staff at the district level instructional cuz you move that title one funding and go to the school so that stream free PS4 and also can't seem to remember that our benefits are not just because we have the salad but also because we have that large increase in benefits and insurance Chris Carter I have a question looking at looking at support staff I noticed there's a huge increase there he did explain that yes ma'am. What's that position meet the maintenance of 100% And she's also I have a question to Darryl Carter for the title 1 funds will part of me Middle High now we can do a Title I school dr. Did you want to ask that question Middle School portion will be now instead of just the one school that we had both schools will be hot and it calmed down a pine High School can become tired of one but at this point majority or no so but both middle schools will be done at 1 funeral funds for paying salary am I correct I'm sorry how do you set up an do we normally put salaries and then take it out of the general fund budget as I thought that sometimes things coming out of general, just a one-time no man that's your actual fun down at 7 on time you're going to operate for kids Statewide funding of which is called your eia funding is actually are marked as well as your profile name to your your general fun with your little bit as special ability which allows a general operating 5 and everything and just a little little bit the your your salaries and benefits usually takes at least 80% of your for off of the budget so the majority of your budget employee or a made-up death of the personnel any other questions before I can come over just going back I just have one question regarding the case in is the Korean technology has excellent to decreasing at budget by 81000 is that that we have already purchased all the programs we need and that we're going to see that secrets are the different a little bit upfront thank you this is what is projection of the non-personal called hours for the instructional Services Department and as I said the majority of the federal funds were able to be able to use and therefore it be happy spell in our general fund budget beaufort-jasper Eddie however that is not a guarantee, I am still waiting to hear from its privacy and four County to ensure that that is the same and immediate quote with his stuff responding plan so I am such a statement and a Career & Technology fund any delis get away to people before it's no longer there also eat the district my morning it has been deleted funding has been deleted do these are things that happened before in this kind of budget and then to the front one for unfortunately stent in a name as a full-fledged program that we have not had in the past two years so we're paying for our athletic director as well as rolling out a few new sports that.

Miss Carter I'm just looking at how the budget has increased over the years for the classified support staff in the finance department do we increase the number of personnel and the fire department for yes ma'am you actually asking if you knew the position than it was in the office over the last three years those positions were actually recommended by the separation of Duties that is necessary to compete and that's pretty much the separation of the checks and balances system so I have to have a theft for Education Association for me to approve or something sitting you are as a person who actually does a purchase order cannot be the person who cut the check last year I can remember and I think I'm starving too my n**** Brianna board at a time last year you did at to assist and Auntie internally Department budgets and expenditures to make sure that everything was going smoothly by fiscal year and so those were some of those positions to meet the requirements of our audit McCarter Pebbles on to me food service at the house picking up the food service to USDA Department staff the staff salaries for our cafeteria staff and we have a few workers are employed with initially Galaxy today at it since true that aren't you picking up the benefits portion of that so what you see here is was Ashley budgeted for them for you benefits for fiscal year 2023 how many employees are there on a food service that we provide any benefits for how many according to the letters of in things to return I don't have that in front of me and I apologize but I can restore to get back to you if that's okay and that would be that would only providing dentist for the employees that are still undefeated District broke the chocolate.

education guidelines Carter there's no question okay I can meet you at this apartment we have here is a bunch of clothes legit we have Force members on staff in that department I'll need a kind of increased our workers comp and unemployment services for the last few years the based on the percentages that we received from Pandora occasion and you'll see that because you're innocent we also added additional funding for the Recruitment and Retention effort Carter yes I noticed like with all of the other budgets the salaries increased but with HR salary for the benefits under classified support staff their salary actually be well it is based on we have an attorney so what you see there is it decrease in a previous here then I'm a creature called that we did have an increase in a few percent of Homeland has been expected and I'm glad I guess you're referring to the classified support area and yes that is really had a turnover in employees and a present coming in from a brightly that's enough a person that left I mean is budget as well let's just hours Fresno house however it is no contract and services, we did CF small increase in share of heated maintenance supply so what

Ridgeland campus Wok strong Staffing well when you start drawing social in this case text stupid and cheesy face services but we do have mental health counselors and I'm social workers who work on the
