>> just don't I don't have anybody in >> I know they were practicing today because I When when I came here I checked. So >> all right very good. We'll go on to number six reports. We'll start with market business manager report. >> Um thanks for having me again here. Uh
go straight to the summary report. >> This one. >> Yes. Um now we'll kind of break down uh how October went. First at the top is just the board bills for this month. Um
it was usual so that's good too. Um but as far as how October went um first we can look at the payroll on the right side. This is now full payroll what it's probably consistently going to look like. Uh
there were some fall coaches that were included in this. So that I mean it could be a little less next time, but uh we were we did pay most of the fall coaches for the fall sports. So I guess basically football and volleyball the majority of that. So those were mostly
paid out in that payroll. So yeah, we can expect, you know, a little over 400,000 on average for around 400,000 is probably average tax and benefits pretty consistent. Um, going over to the
left side as far as the October revenues and the bills. Um, so the revenues, uh, the end of October and the beginning of November is a time where we don't get as much state money and we get more county revenue. So, it's a little less this
time as far as revenues because when the state lines it up with when the counties pay. So, if the state knows that the county is going to be giving us money, they'll give us a little less during those times. So, it's just kind of it helps them save a little bit of money,
then they distribute it either before or after. So, >> it's been a practice for >> Yeah. And so we get a late October payment come through for the county and then we get an early November. So probably the first November payment might be a little less too from the state. They just kind of that's how it
breaks out. So for instance, last month or September we probably got 1.7 in general fund money. This time we got 1.2. So when you go down and look at the October summary, the surplus was rather small whereas last month it was about
500,000 more. So, it's just that kind of difference in how they distribute their funds. And then as far as the bank balances, that's something we added below. Um the first four accounts are like the general
fund money that we use um that comes in from states and county. So that's kind of the money that is uh rotating revolving for us to use. The bottom three accounts are kind of debt syncing fund holding payments. So when some of
our debt comes due, that's the money that we use to pay that down. So yeah, you probably just want to focus more on top. So our cash flow right now is anybody have any questions on this? >> No, I just really appreciate you
breaking it down that way so that it makes it easier for us to understand. >> Yeah. And then uh we can go on to the budget for first actual the two page. This one um so this one is kind of just
showing how where we're sitting versus last year. Um we typically see at the end of October that we probably be in about 25% range. Uh we're actually progressing a little better this year. Um,
I'd say a couple reasons for that is we're just tighter with our money. Um, we're just being more uh we've always been fiscally responsible, but I mean when you're preparing for a referendum, you want to show a tighter budget and you're looking at everything. So, we've
been good this year. Obviously, we've spent less on technology because this was a rotating year where we have less expenses there. Um, curriculum think we've been in pretty good shape. We've been very responsible with how we
spend that money to get the best out of it, the most out of it. And just some of the other areas just we probably have less staff in the elementary, middle school, high school compared to last year. So yeah, I think everything's
trending there for us right now. You have any questions? And then as far as construction >> all right to um just pass on the report going on to the
board committee reports policy. Sure. >> Yeah, I can go. So, we reviewed the policies. Um, not much redlinining actually on this section that came through. So, not much change at all from what was last approved. Um, all the
questions were outstanding questions were answered and very straightforward meeting. >> Lot of just MSBA recommendations. There was nothing. Yeah. Yeah. There just wasn't much. >> Any questions for
All right, I guess we go on to the superintendent tenant report. All right. Uh, obviously referendum uh again um had an opportunity to visit with some media, but uh following the referendum results and I just want to say thank you again
to the community. Obviously, when you're within 33 votes, there's a lot of people that are supporting us. And I think uh I'll just use a quote I guess that I said was that that means we're doing some things right. Right. Because some people there was a lot of support there
as well. Uh obviously it didn't pass. Uh we're going to sharpen the pencil and we have a lot to talk about tonight. We had a budget committee. We talked a lot about what we may have to do. There'll be more of that to come. Um, and so by January, I'm hoping to have some things
um, between now and January, I guess, for the board to review and kind of some things that we're going to need to do just like we said we would have to if it didn't pass. So, we're going to get into, you know, roughly $800,000 worth of cuts for next year. What does that look like exactly? That's what we're
going to work through. So, unfortunate that that has to be that way, but it is our reality. the public has is voted that way and that's what we're going to do. So yeah, I guess I'll leave it at that. Um number two is the intergovernmental committee meeting. We
had that uh last week. Uh we are the host. Well, I'll say host. We're in charge of the event um this year in January. And so one of the things we talked about are what are the hot topics in Klay County, the cities of Klay
County, the schools in Klay County, and we're going to we're going to talk about future planning. We're going to talk about planning and zoning at the cities uh of Klay County, what they're going through, what the county is planning and organizing, working through. And so
that's kind of going to be the theme is kind of what is the expansions of the cities of Klay County. uh obviously Morehead, Dillworth, Glendon, you know, Yuland, whatever, Barnesville, and then how is the county coming alongside them to support them in those endeavors, and
then what are the some of the challenges that they're facing as cities and county. Uh in the afternoon, we're going to talk about how that impacts schools. Obviously, we're talking about our district and Morhead's district and how it's wonky with our borders. And so,
we're going to talk a little bit about that land swap and the impact of that. Um, uh to both districts because it's unique. And then what are some things that may be able to be worked through in the future to remedy that situation. So yeah, it's going to be interesting. And
then of course we'll have legislators invited to that meeting as well in January so they can have a panel and we can questions or our concerns, right? So that'll be coming up. So Brooke and I will be working quite a bit on that. We because we're the host will be doing the
presentations and having come people come up to do their report. So yeah, a lot going on and so far it seems like it's going to work out just fine. Uh M summit uh this Sunday coming up the 16th I'll be
