don't have anything dredo okay budget presentation dredo all right thank you very much good evening everyone uh so we like to welcome all of you to the 2024 2025 orth public school's annual budget budget presentation um I want to start by saying the presentation is currently available on our website for anyone who's watching at home uh you can take a look on our website uh to view the presentation and obviously you'll see it as we go through it here tonight our goal this evening is to provide our parents and Community uh with an overview of the budget for the 2024 2025 school year uh however before we begin uh I feel it's important to share that you know every year the budget devel process is is challenging uh this year was made even more challenging uh with a significant reduction in our state aid which we're going to be talking about in a few minutes um that said the Board of Education and administration take great care in developing this budget as we recognize the importance of quality schools for everyone in our community we also remain dedicated to providing opportunities necessary for our students to succeed while remaining mindful of our fiscal responsibility to the taxpayers of hathorne I'd also like to take a moment to uh show our appreciation for the ongoing support of our school pto's the athletic booster club the horth and Education Foundation Project Graduation and CPAC our special education parent advisory Council um who provides financial support throughout the year and I can tell you that that support is appreciated and extremely beneficial to the students and staff in our school district and that said uh let's begin by taking a look at tonight agenda so our goal tonight and this is kind of an overview of what of the items that we're going to discuss tonight so our goal tonight is to briefly discuss the budget process talk a little bit about what that process looks looks like we going to review the challenges of rising costs talk about this year's significant reduction in state aid we'll get into that uh we'll also talk about uh some fiscal efficiencies uh that the Administration has pursued and a few grants that the district is pursuing to supplement your tax dollars we'll continue with information about our school district followed by a discussion of the general tax levy our revenues and Appropriations we'll get into those specifics and then the second half of the presentation will include specific budgeted items in the areas of technology and curriculum and instruction so just to start to give you an overview of our budget process and I I I share this because I want you to understand that this is a long process this is not something that happens in a period of a month or two uh this process starts in November uh where where uh the business administrator and I meet with our school leaders and department heads uh to discuss their school and individual budgets we then begin to put the budget together from those conversations in January and February the District administration along with the finance committee of the board begin reviewing the proposed budget finance committee administration review our state aid numbers the tax levy are projected revenues and possible Cuts needed to balance the budget and this year there were a few which I'll talk about in a few moments then the once the finance committee's had a chance to review it the budget goes to the entire board for their review and on March 16th this year the board approved the budget the tentative budget to be submitted to the County Office of Education for their approval we've now received the approval from the County Office of Education and we are here tonight to uh present and approve the budget the 2024 2025 school year so as I mentioned you know along with our Cuts in state aid which we'll talk about in a moment we every year we Face challenges with Rising costs um you know once again and as you see on this slide right Rising inflation rates the Nationwide teacher shorted school by driver and power professional shortage uh as well as the announcement of double digigit increases in school employee health benefits continue to pose significant budgetary pressures for not just for Hawthorne but for all school districts we also o continue to see increases in security costs out of District costs including our students that going to faade County Tech as well as our out of District students in special ed programs and that includes transportation to those facilities as well so those costs continue to rise and again all of the above create challenges for school districts especially with a 2% cap right everything's going up more than 2% and uh so it's important for us to find ways to either generate Revenue find fiscal effic icies and other ways of supporting our budget without having to impact our students in our schools now as I mentioned in February 2024 this year we found out that our state aid was cut $884,000 um which is a significant number 18.5% of our total state aid allocation that's significant and that was I could tell you the largest cut in FA County as well so it really posed a challenge for us this year so let's talk talk a little bit more about our state aid so to give you an idea in 2324 our total state aid allocation was a little over almost 5 million 4,778 522 once again in February of this year we were informed uh that we would our state aid would be reduced by that $884,000 which is as I mentioned was an 18.5% reduction our now our new state aid allocation is 3,8 $3,802 right overall that's our total state aid allocation for the new school year a 2% increase to our budget equates to $854,000 so what you see is that 2% increase is is it's 30,000 less than that state a cut which again you talk about challenges that's that's a significant challenge for us and with the continued increase of health benefits transportation salaries Etc we were required to cut almost a million dollar $900 $980,000 to balance this year's budget so I can share with you that the reductions for the 2024 2025 school year include the elimination of Our Hope program uh one of our staff members there did resign which allowed us not to have to cut that position and we we will repurpose the par professionals that were in that program so that they they won't lose jobs there thank goodness um we we we were required to reduce one custodian and two teachers districtwide it did uh Force us to eliminate our contracts for power professionals with outside agencies not our current Powers who are in our district they are all going to be here next year but we uh this past year we had contracts with outside agencies for power professionals we eliminated those contracts and we did have to reduce some of our supplemental programs a little bit of professional development and some of our supplies um and that that was all due again to this significant cut in state a big part of it at least the good news I always like to end with some good news the good news is that the State Assembly recently passed a 4161 which is a stabilized school aid program which could bring funding back to Hawthorne now it won't bring all of it back but they're saying about two-thirds of that money could come back to the district if this passes to the Senate and then signed by the governor uh which we won't know obviously for a couple of months is what they're anticipating but hopefully uh we will see those funds and if we do that will allow us to hopefully return some of these uh positions that were eliminated I will also just mention and I mentioned this at the last meeting that keep in mind that this if it comes in the form of a grant it doesn't mean it becomes part of our operating budget it's really a one-time amount of money a one-time stop Gap that will assist us this year but it doesn't become part of your budget going forward right so just something else to consider when you think about this money coming back to the district so again other ways that we can support Cuts like this and cost rising over 2 percentage to look for fiscal efficiencies and our school district continues to explore opportunities to save money and find efficiencies so we uh as part of our district we we participate in numerous consortiums which provide opportunities for better pricing and just you could see on the slide here we're part of an insurance insurance Consortium for liability and workers comp insurance Statewide Consortium to purchase our internet access bid consortiums for all instructionals and office supplies technology equipment and special ed transportation we part of an eay program which I'll talk about a few minutes for telecommunications uh again outsourced our our cafeteria services and we have shared service contracts with the burrow for garbage Recycling and school security so that's one way that we can help offset some of these Rising costs by looking for efficiencies ways that we can save money by partnering with other districts or large amounts of of districts the other thing we can do as a district is to research and submit applications for grant opportunities to supplement our revenue and facilitate different projects so if you look at this slide project one would subsidize uh our new Chromebooks for our incoming Sixth and nth graders to to the to to the amount of $29,000 the second Grant will offset partial roof Replacements at Lincoln middle school and Rosevelt elementary school right you can see it's 40% of those costs that's a significant amount of money that we don't have to put out from the district side and the third Grant will cover five about $500,000 of a total $750,000 project to upgrade our internal Communications in our schools so without these opportunities I we would put the bill for these projects in total but because we're able to apply for these kinds of Grants and I can tell you we've already received grants one and two those are awarded the third Grant uh is something that we are applying for this is our second time applying for this grant our second year so we are working with our grant writer in hopes that we will although we weren't successful last year we are trying again uh to acquire this money for from this grant uh to help fund this project and hopefully we'll be successful this year the other thing you see on the slide here that I mentioned is that items number two and three will be supplemented by our capital reserve fund so I'd like to if I could speak about our capital and maintenance Reserve accounts for a moment so everyone's clear on what those are so if I could take a step back uh when I began here in uh as the superintendent in January of 2015 the district had no funds available in our capital reserve account that account was was Zero uh was zero and our maintenance Reserve account had approximately $50,000 currently those accounts have our capital reserve account has 3 million uh excuse me 3,646 $7 and our maintenance Reserve account has 2,682 okay now just to be clear on what those are and what those monies would be used for capital reserve accounts are for capital projects replacement projects things like roof Replacements boiler Replacements door Replacements interior and exterior Paving fencing heating ventilation and air conditioning projects Etc right another example uh which we did use gap of Reserve funds for is the board's purchase of the new building to house our district administrative offices and I know that some some people have questioned the purchase of this building but I want you to understand that along with providing an asset to the board it also eliminated a $20,000 recurring cost in our operating budget for the rent of our current offices so there is a there are numerous benefits to purchasing that building and that was taken out of capital reserve funds okay our maintenance Reserve account maintenance Reserve funds are used for repairs and to keep our building safe and I can tell you that those accounts are where they are in terms of the funds available because the district because of responsible budgeting over the past nine years right it's important to understand that these funds are not part of our operating budget they are separate accounts and cannot be used as part of our operating budget so people would ask why can't you use capital reserve to fill the whole of state aid that was lost that's not something you can use capital reserve Reserve funds for those are for capital projects so you can't use capital reserve funds or maintenance Reserve funds to fill a hole left by a cut in state aid or to address challenges of rising costs okay I also you know realized that some would say well there's a lot of money in those accounts you know 3 million in capital and 2 million of Maintenance but I want you to keep in mind that projects that would be funded through these accounts are typically large projects and typically come with a high price tag so let me give you two examples one example is a few years back we had to replace the boilers at oror high school we used capital reserve funds for the for that replacement to the tune of about $500,000 this past year this fall we had a situation at orn High School where we had the brick facade that fell we were fortunate to have maintenance Reserve funds because that project cost us $450,000 to replace those bricks or repair those bricks so it's extremely important to have the These funds in these Reserve accounts for situations just like I mentioned there right those are two examples and I could give you a host of other examples as well but I hope that provides a little clarity as to those accounts and the purpose of those accounts and and why that money is there uh for the district okay okay so that's being said let's let's jump into some some specific numbers in regard to uh our budget for the 2425 school year so the 24 25 budget supports our instructional staff program and programs as well as all of our facilities and a total enrollment of 2478 students and I include our added District I you see I list our added District students there because we do pay tuition and busing for those students so that is part of our operating budget um and our total budget uh for the 2425 school year is $54 m933 in regard to our general tax levy you see that the Top Line shows that we are at the statutory to % however as you can see from the chart below uh due to reduction of interest in our debt service our overall increase is at 1.90% so what does that mean for the average homeowner and hawthor so for the average homeowner on the average assessed home which is $81,400 per month so in regard to our district revenues as you can see the majority of our Revenue the majority of our funding comes from the tax levy and that 2% equates as I mentioned earlier to about $854,000 as I also mentioned all districts get additional funding from state aid and although we did see a significant reduction in state aid we do still receive approximately $3.8 million in state aid uh which helps to to support our budget other revenues also include fund balance miscellaneous and special Revenue which some of that is State funding idea title funding those kinds of things along with exploring uh efficiencies and outside funding options finding ways to generate Revenue continues to be an ongoing discussion it's something the district will continue to pursue as I mentioned some of them earlier in terms of the grants and the fiscal efficiencies that we were looking to pursue all right to delve a little further into our revenues uh as I mentioned our tax Lev is at the statutory 2% um our state aid and I've said this 100 times it was reduced by $884,000 um in the next line below that our budgeted fund balance you'll see an increase in the amount of budgeted fund balance used for the 2425 school year and this number is pretty high and that's due to the temporary pandemic related Surplus percentage of 4% now reverting back to the standard 2% which was in place prior to covid right during covid they allowed us to raise that budgeted fund balance to 4% it's is now going back to the 2% which means we can only maintain two 2% of our expenses in fund balance and the remaining funds have to be allocated into this year's budget so that's why that number you see a significant increase there uh we have budgeted $230,000 withdrawal from our capital and maintenance Reserve account so we we pull we'll be pulling $200,000 out of our capital reserve account to fund two projects including renovations to the new administrative offices but the majority of the funding will be used used to uh fund a a network Wi-Fi infrastructure upgrade at Lincoln middle school and horor high school upgrading our moroi wireless access points at the middle school and high school they've exceeded their useful life and they need to be replaced so the majority of that Capital funding will be used for that project we'll also be budgeting uh or withdrawing $330,000 from maintenance Reserve to fund two projects some carpeting at the Barcade and some railings at horor high school right you also also see on this slide uh the increase in tuition funds and that's based on new added District students attending our special ed programs in Hawthorne so there'll be a slight increase there and then finally the Medicaid reimbursement and those are funds to offset cost of services for our special ed students things like otpt speech those kinds of things all right if we take a look at our Appropriations first I'll share that this graph that you see in front of you is divided into categories that mimic the categories that the state requires the School District to report as part of our district buet we're required to report these categories you'll also see that approximately 45% of our total costs are associated with General and special education which includes salaries as discussed in the beginning of our presentation are added District tuition costs our related Transportation costs and our health medical costs have contined to increase and you see those are the larger of the of the areas left on that graph and we'll Dove a little further as we look at this slide in terms of our appr ation so as you can see from our district tuition line it actually shows a decrease and you say well how can that be you say costs are going up um and although our enrollment did go up uh for our students attending up State County Tech next year the reduction here was based on an annual tuition adjustment for all out of districts all right so it's not just our students going to Tech it's all out of districts and we're somewhere able to come back or things like that so it's it's a combination of all that's why that you see a reduction there looking at our instruction line uh the increase here relates to some of the eser positions that we're able to absorb into our operating budget for the 24 25 school year we were able to absorb some of those positions that were funded by by Esser funding not all um things like our additional guidance counselors are multisensory teachers so that's why you see an increase on that line that was slightly offset by the elimination of the whole program but there is an increase based on the staff that we're we're maintaining uh although we have not added any administrative positions you see that the administration line has increased and that's simply due to the reclassification of administrative costs between categories so if you look at the support services which is right above it that only went up by $500 because some of that money was repurposed into the or or re re appropriated into that Administration line that also includes um the increase in salaries in that line as well so but I want to be clear there were no new administrative positions that have been added to the budget for next year all right just to be clear about that um although health benefit costs have increased you'll notice a slight reduction health benefit costs and again that is due to the Esser positions that are no longer with us as well as some of the cuts right we have to make some some reductions in our staff um so those things will reduce health benefit costs the other thing that reduced some of our health benefit costs is some of the retirements that we have and when new staff come in they start with single benefits versus family benefits so there is a slight savings there so that's why see a slight reduction even though costs have gone up in that line uh the transportation line is increas increased and again it's because of that Esser funding we were actually incorporating some of the transportation funding or Transportation costs into that Esser funding which has now expired so it now has to be added to our uh our operating budget uh I can tell you the district is looking at the various strategies to improve efficiency in the area of Transportation but that you'll see a significant increase there um and in again I mentioned capital projects uh the capital projects are funded through a withdrawal from our capital reserve account and not part of the operating budget and I already talked about what those will be funding so as we continue the following slides will outline the specifics about the 2425 budget uh for the 24-25 school year so as I mentioned that you this budget will support some minor reductions to our district faculty and staff um a reduction to our which includes our whole program you know our custodian our two teachers um however the 24 25 budget does uh continue to support all of our extracurricular activities clubs and athletic programs it does uh see a minor reduction to our professional development line um thought you will we will talk about some curricular revisions in accordance with the New Jersey student learning standards it does support obviously our be cave uh program for our 18 to 21 uh year old special education students and continued support of our New Jersey tiered system of support programs and staff including our multisensory teachers one at each building in the area of Technology uh the budget supports and maintains our onetoone initiative in grad 6 through 12 now I say 6 through 12 but I want to I want to also share that we are pretty much one to one districtwide uh Although our students in grade 6 through 12 have their own device that they take home with them our elementary students are just about one to one with with uh carts of Chromebooks for their classrooms uh and then we have iPads for our preschool population as well so it supports all of that it also supports uh replacement of Staff laptops for our teachers in grades K through five it supports new Chromebooks for our incoming Sixth and ninth graders it supports expanded cyber security training for our staff it supports increased security cameras and I want to share uh that when I arrived here hawthor we had about 60 or so uh cameras throughout the district internal and external we are now up to about 181 cameras internally and externally around our district in our buildings so I'm really happy about that and this will support additional cameras as needed throughout the district it will support updating our uh District health desk and uh work order systems uh I can tell you that the current systems that we were using both at cyber security concerns which is why we're transitioning to a new program it will uh support support implementing an employee HR portal which will allow for online access for our employees to their employee information uh that will be added to our existing budgeting our CSI budgeting uh software but it'll now allow for online access for our staff and I mentioned our upgrading of our 150 moroi wireless access points in the high school mentioned that uh new uh the replacement of those access points terms of curriculum and instruction uh this budget will maintain our academic programs our dual enrollment and AP course offerings and right now we're up to 17 AP course offerings happy to say supports the development of curriculum for the following new courses music technology directing and producing and accounting it supports curricular revisions to align with the new math and English language arts uh New Jersey student learning standards and provides continued professional development for all staff and finally at the middle and elementary schools this budget will support again all of our academic programs it supports curricular revisions uh that align with the New Jersey student learning standards and continued professional development uh for all staff including our conquer Math training and training for new Ela series and again some of that is was reduced but it won't reduce all of it it might reduce the number of people attending but not all okay so before I turn it back over Mrs gof and the board members for questions or comments I'd like to just take a moment to thank Mrs Murray for her efforts in preparing her first budget here in nor it wasn't an easy one I can tell you that a lot of challenges but I appreciate all of her hard work to parents submit this budget and fin Manor I want to thank my administrative team for their assistance uh their continued support and vision for our school district is critical to the development of our short and long-term goals for the horor public schools and I can tell you they played a significant role in working through the challenges of the state aid reduction uh we had numerous meetings to talk about how we could uh limit the impact on our students specifically uh by making the cuts that we had to make so I appreciate all that they did to help support that also want to thank the board and specifically the finance committee for their time in working through this budget and the challenges with this budget I appreciate all of your support through this process and I'll just end by saying you know we continue to be proud of of what we've accomplished this past year look forward to another successful and productive year in 2425 um and on that note I'll turn it over to Mrs C and the board for any comments or questions thank thank you Dro Mr finan Administration if you want there are any questions or comments about the presentation sure we can open up to the board any any comments any questions um I just want to say thank you for your hard work and I know this wasn't easy and very stressful espe my first time doing this but um I got to see the behind the scenes for the first time and it was um comforting and and it just it was heartfelt and I know it was a struggle and I know it wasn't easy and you guys found a way to um keep all of our programs Without Really affecting our students honestly somehow you you made it work and I'm very appreciative so that's all thanks sure all right um yes tle that uh thank you Mr Murray the administration and Dr spro um every year I always bring it back to managing a checkbook personally and uh you can only imagine what that is like when you're R running a what I call a business right even though it's our children uh at stake right and and by the end of the day it is a a business mindset and on the accounting side and all the numbers have to crunch and and make sense and on top of it even though it was shared about how it starts in November I think it's also important to share how we don't necessarily know what the state aid funding is until an extremely uh small period prior to so imagine managing that checkbook and you think everything's right you have all your eyes doted te's crossed and then the state aid comes out within weeks before and you're like you know what everything you just did it's all going to go out the window and we got to start over and that's kind of what this committee and and Miss Murray and and staff have to do right every single year and then on top of it the challenges and rise and cost and all those things that we've said tonight so I uh commend all of you guys I don't think people truly do know I think it is eye opening when you do get on the other side to see what goes into that and uh it's just genuinely appreciated what what is done on behalf of this District so thank you I'll wait for the very end okay Mr C FL is yours thank you finance Administration action items pursued to the recommendation of the super schools the committee on finance Administration recommends the following resolutions F1 on page three which includes the approval of the budget for the 2024 2025 school year continue on to page four F2 through F5 on behalf of the committee Ive move by Mr clo seconded by Mr Poo any discussion sure I'll make my comments now so just want to Echo with uh everybody's uh gratitude towards uh administrators uh department heads uh superintendent RBA uh like Erica said behind the scenes there's a lot that happens those two weeks sometimes it's at 10 days

first year with us not only did she have to close out the prior calendar school year but there was qac and there was a lot on the table so uh thank you to her for that also want to extend our gratitude on behalf of the board to the state legislators that are working on the school aid grant uh that goes a long way it's uh it's not going unnoticed um we also are appreciative of how how much attention the uh uh the funding formula has garnished this year it needs to be addressed it needs to be looked at and uh you know we our hope is that we as a community continue to keep uh pressure on those that uh uh have to say over that uh over that uh formula uh and last but not least just want to share the excit you know I want to I'm uh I'm glad that the new courses are being offered there's a lot of excitement with the new programs uh even in in an environment where we've had to cut you have that music Technology Program there's a lot of excitement about that so you know glad to see that that's uh you know amongst all the cuts that we had to make that that was a possibility that's it thank you anybody else I would also like to Echo the comments and sentiments of my fellow board members we are trally grateful to miss Murray and thankful that you came on board I'm sorry it was such a rocky start we didn't anticipated being this way um thank you to Dr spro and your administrative team everybody sitting in this room who has the best at stake in in the future of our children um you guys have done a masterful job at doing more with less like Mr said you didn't just make things even with last year despite less money you were able to come up with new and innovative ways to challenge our children um and that is really a Herculean effort that does not go un notice by the community I would also like to see the community if you have questions specifically about things that relate to the budget asking them on Facebook is not going to get you relevant and and factual information um it it it just my blood pressure goes up so high I read it I don't comment because I don't want to engage but come to meetings Google things reach out to other members in the community who might know things um you know a point that Dr spro made that I would like to just restate again the the purchase of the building next door is an asset to the district now and is done from a fund that cannot be touched for student achievement so so there was a lot of of misinformation going around about how we got this budget cut and we committed to buy this this building those two things are not are not at all relevant to one another um but again encourage anybody we we love having company I love that you guys are all here today um come ask questions you know we may not have all the answers but we sit with people who probably do um but I'll just say say one more thanks thanks to you guys you guys really did a great job and and I apologize to everyone that we had to go
