session uh tonight so we're going to jump right into 3.1 which is our presentations we have our student uh data student student safety data systems report good evening so this is a nice short report again for you this is the
data that we entered into the student safety data system for the months of September through December um we had two HIV investigations one was confirmed one was not and zero incidents leading to removal for any other incidents and four
student restraints during those four months we also had our beginning of the year training so when we do our welcome back I train all the staff on our HIV procedures and whatnot they also do a gcn on the antib Bill of Rights in New Jersey and the classroom teachers go
over Hib and our school policy and procedures in September we also did a couple cool programs we always celebrate the week of respect violence awar violence Awareness Week red Rhythm week we did a world kindness Day this year focusing on uh reaching out to the Tyler
Quinter foundation and supporting them so that was something new we enjoyed that um inclusive schools week and of course we are September to December with our character strong lesson and September to December with our haulk program for character Ed and that's a
wrap any questions yes ma'am yes uh you mentioned two restraints four yes four four restraints four okay they're not really restraints are they just separating the students from the rest of the class like
put them in a separate room no it's I have to report it as a restraint if somebody put somebody in a hole like a CP certified I'm sorry I misinterpreted what what you're saying okay yeah okay and they're all trained um it was two separate
students with a total for restraints I was thinking handcuffs no no no no no no we don't do that no just for their safety sometimes if they're going to like bang ahead or hurt themselves in any way sometimes have to go
there thank you uh let's move on to Committee of the whole do we have a motion so so move second so moved in second and we're going to open up Committee of the whole with a presentation from our business
administrator um so as promised in the retreat this is the same slide presentation but I have up ated it for Budget purposes as as of today basically or Friday should say all right I don't like these
things okay so um again our vision vision and mission statement all this is left unchanged from the board retreat just why we do what we do um and how we go about preparing a responsible budget um for the taxpayers
in Oakland our main goal is obviously our kids and promoting student achievement and we'll go into um the fun of trying to balance um the lack of State revenues with our increasing expenditures um and Mrs Len came to the
board office um today but we meet with all the administrators both in collinswood and Oakland um we talk about the budget basically and seeing what's in there and how what they budget it's going to impact student achievement um school budget calendar this you guys have approved this in the
fall I want to get to the meat of this so your left hand side you guys saw this before but these are your sources of State uh Revenue state aid which we know has been willfully inadequate in the state of New Jersey Federal Aid the status of which is questionable at the moment um
local taxes tuition on a case-by casee basis and miscellaneous income which is like your interest any shared service income that we've got coming in um and all of our expenses um you know salaries benefits any cap capital projects supplies curriculum um out of District special
education tuition busing um and your utilities those are your biggest line items um so this is what I know as of Friday and again this is absolutely changing um so by law the board is limited to a
maximum 2% tax ly increase unless you qualify for certain adjustments that are in the budget software um the only one that we would qualify for right now would be a healthcare adjustment and you do qualify about $88 to $90,000 worth
healthc care is out of sight this year um and not so much on the healthcare side but on the prescription side because of the weight loss drugs and the DI diabetes medications um they're causing the RX rates to Skyrocket so bylaw today I could
increase Oakland's um tax levy to support the schools by 3.5% okay um so what does that mean on your budgeted revenues I can increase it by $28,269 [Music] 4,000 which just say overall loss
revenues we have a negative balance when I took all the expenses that Mrs golden entered and I entered into the budget software and I compare it to my Revenue projections were obviously upside down that's no surprise and I don't want anybody to panic because we met with
Miss Bolden today and Miss Solway Dr McDow Meredith and I there's a plan there's always a plan um but the good news for Oakland is Collingswood during 23 24 charg more intuition to our
sending districts um than it would actually cost per pupil which means Collins would owes Oakland back money in tuition if we didn't have that this would be a lot worse okay so um Collingswood owes Oakland about
$162,000 in tuition um so again if we didn't have that credit coming to from Collingswood we' be in a much much worse position yes ma'am for as much as I'd love to hold them to the end it's easier with the slide on the board so the second bullet if we have 218 in
additional revenue is that going to pay for the health care increase and are we really at net neutral or is that in addition to what we would have it doesn't pay 100% the state will not give you 100% dollar for doar increase on your healthare for the healthcare adjustment what they do is they look at
the State Health Care the state health benefits plan which I'm sure you've heard about all over the paper the state has their own health plan um they i w say artificially because it sounds like they're making it up but they kind of do make up their numbers um they come up with what their rate should be and
then every school district that has a healthc care plan that is not in a state health benefits plan on a regular basis we have to prove to the state that were not in their plan because we saved more money being outside of the plan which we do um but they limit our increase in the
healthcare adjustment to the what the state healthc care state health benefits plan is so so there is a limit to how much I can put in and I tested that theory today cuz I just started throwing everything in the line to see what would happen um so we are limited in how much of an increase so it's not neutral for
for so it's deficit it's not covering the healthare it doesn't cover 100% never does so we see the 294 and bullet three is that deficiency lump in there yeah that's the entire net deficiency thank you yep and you'll see it in your next in the next spreadsheet and I
apologize um it's kind of hard to read but here's where I think we might be okay there's a couple ways I don't want to V to panic um that's my job so left hand side where it says sources of revenue you'll see where I highlighted
stabilization Aid $274,000 now last year we got cut $600,000 in state aid unexpectedly we were not planning on it because we weren't one of the S2 districts that Governor I should say I almost slipped and said Governor Sweeny Senator Sweeny when he identifed
IED the um you're right anyway um I like a stand up comedian tonight um I really give you night but they took $600,000 away and like Theresa always says they they caused a panic everybody screamed and all the school districts that lost state aid they gave us like
money back so Oakland got $274,000 back in like July um which was good not great so we still had to cut our budget about $400,000 but if you look at the deficit where it says um dollar change all the way down bottom row here's your 294 of
them upside down we lost the 274,000 I did not include that Revenue in our budget because I don't know if the state's going to when they give us our state aid I don't know if that dollar amount is going to be in the base state aid or not so I I'm assuming it's not because when they gave it to us they said this is a
one-time gracious gift or something there was some kind of language in it when they awarded it to us that this was a one-time thing so I'm assuming they're not doing it again but you know don't know so if they do it again you're okay 20 grand we can figure that out if not
um there are things that we can there are supplies and some curriculum things um Mrs Bon went through she's amazing by the way went through her budget and um all the things that if you remember last year when we did get cut a lot of the things that she needs for the school
supplies um math curriculum reading curriculum all that we bought with our expiring federal funds so all those got put back in the budget this year she need three columns for me like what she had to have what would be nice to have like and what she could live
without and still run the school so if we have to trim back to meet that number I'm pretty confident that um between Jen Steve my assistant and myself I think we can get there um but what's not known is that 274 if
that's included in our Base number next Thursday we pretty good if it's not I think we can get there but we're going to be have Jen put it today next year's going to be a lot like this year we're going to have what we need but not a whole lot of anything
else okay um and then so what we don't know state aid um the governor presents next Tuesday I think he speaks at 1 or two o'clock in the afternoon and then by law within 48 Hours he has to notify us of what our state dat is so by dinner time on
Thursday you'll be getting emails for me um and also what I don't know is any emergencies that come up between now and June 30th any additional ad of District placements or any additional homeless placements any of those things um you
know all bets are off and then um some ways we are being creative with our revenues and our shared services you know we share Mrs Salway we share pre caners we may be sharing a prek secretary next year and of course um Collings would run space in the building
so we've done everything we can in this District to increase the money we bring in to support our children um except right now we're probably looking at adding a prek secretary um to shared services the Shar the prek budgets don't
come out till March so that that'll probably that will probably be coming you in March or April and sorry back and like I said earlier um the governor the commissioner excuse me today released a memo to all school
districts in state of New Jersey um I think they were trying to quell the panic but I think they created a little bit so the letter went to all school districts and basically they said in in preparing our budgets normally they stay quiet until the governor speaks but
today they sent out a memo saying um something in the effect that in any case no School District should see a reduction of more than 3% or something to that effect um Sur like what's that mean so if you looked at the sentence
wrote total K to2 school aid will not be reduced by more than 3% so the way I read it is his budget when he says total K to 12 school aid that means the line item in his budget not necessarily each School District's budget so what does that mean worst case
scenario we're cut 3% But there again it's going to be different District by District because some districts are probably going to get more money because if they have an increase enrollment some will be held flat but I think in preparing his budget he's probably looking at a 3% overall decrease is the way I read the memo um but we'll know
more next week what I don't know again we're doing our budgets not knowing what's going on in in um in Washington depending whatever happens with the Doge and uh what they're doing with the Department of education in DC
we do get money for our special ed children and we do get money in Title One title two um and that that could have a direct hit on our budget um going into next year and that that impact we just don't know Trenton doesn't even know they're really not giving a whole giving us a whole lot of guidance on
that however any reduction in federal aid is going to it's going to negatively impact every single school school district in the country um and this District you know um we pay some teachers in title
one and it's a lot of our out of District special ed tuition is paid for with idea so those costs would have to be absorbed into the local budget that is already very tight so didn't mean to be debie Downer if anybody watched this this Saturday Night
Live thing the other night like oh Debbie Downer but I wanted you to know where I was in the process um so as a Friday night this is where I was with Oakland budget um but I do see light at the end of the tunnel depending on that 274 and we have
a plan if we don't get it it won't be great it won't be what we want but the goal is to maintain Jen's staff and not impact them and I think we can get there without impacting them right now if the federal government starts to monkey with
us then that's going to be a whole other ball of wax but I think there's probably going to be lawsuits if that happens um any questions for I have a question thank you first of all for all the cartwheeling and everything that you and Miss Balton and and Fred and Meredith and everybody have
been doing um I think some of us are watching really closely what recently went on in coings wood and don't know if that's something that we want to raise think about talk about they had a conversation with the burough I'm also
curious about there's been a lot published about the 83% that the burough supports the schools compared to I might be getting the numbers wrong and I'm curious what Oakland's number is do you happen to know that or is that something we can find out um I can I can find out
Oakland's a little different boat each Town's going to be very different you guys are not deemed under adequate in your budget meaning the taxpayers pay their fair share here um so as far as being able to I mean could we appeal to the town and say hey ra more tax than we
give it to us sure but the case in collinswood is their local fair share is about $5.6 million more and I'm allowed to ask for with a 2% cap and I'm never I'm never catching it every year it gets worse um
and it's really been multiplying at an astronomical rate since about 2018 2019 so we can't catch that 2% um so what's happening is our budget Gap is just it's just widening um and then we've been getting by every year with these you know let's use our
Surplus still a shared service like we're raising little pots of Revenue but are we're not catching up with um the costs we're just we're not catching up um we're not the only District in the area I know Eve James upside down I was on the phone had in Township last week
everybody had my problem but the the uniqueness with Collingswood is the ability to pay um when we get our state aid print out um it's very clear the state determines each Town's local fair share or ability to contribute to
the school district via taxes based on the wealth of the town the property values and um there's about a $5.6 million swing between what shton thinks Collins would should be paying versus what they actually are and I can't catch it because each year I can only go up by
2% unless I get an adjustment for healthcare um so they do have that ability um so we also call it the Robinsville I know you heard people say this before um if you're on the ad I what it's called now the advocacy
funding group that we're in Robinsville is a school district in Mercer County similar situation to what's been going on in colins with that their costs are just going crazy so last year they did a referendum in
March and they did the referendum specifically to close their budet deficit now the law that they cited is the law that gives the the boards the ability to go to the taxpayers and do bond referendums for
Capital but the law doesn't say just for Capital the law just says gives those boards the authority to go to the people to increase taxes for but that's the law that they use when they say we can go four times a year to taxpayers for
Capital Bond work Robinsville used it to close their budget hole what's not known first of all brilliant I called the ba and I was just wow like why didn't anybody think of this um I couldn't get the Mercer County Superintendent or the Mercer County Business ministrator on
the phone because they wouldn't speak to me because Trenton obviously was not happy with Robinsville because Robinsville went right around uh the capital so what's not known is what's going to happen to Robinsville with their stateid this year are they going to be penalized because they went around
the 2% mall and they went around uh the state capital I don't know um so what we did in collinswood is kind of Robinsville esque we're kind of doing the same thing without going to the voters because the um the burrow we did
check with our audit and our attorneys um you can ask your burrow and the burrow can raise taxes on your behalf and give it to the school district so that is what collinswood is asking their burrow to do so I hope that answered your question yeah I'm still just
curious about what the fair share percentage is and Oakland I think you guys I think you are above the 50% line I can get I haven't I can get that from um I can called bani um the issue with Collingswood is they're at
47% where everybody else is 52% or more so that that Gap is just widening every year so any other questions do we have any uh grants that will be expiring by the end of the year yeah right now all that's in your budget
is your um esaa Grant which is Title One and title two title four and Ida just the two and again you get your paa Grant which is your prek Grant with us from the state the federal a just to do any questions like I said once I get State a I'll let everybody know next
week okay um just a couple quick comments uh for committee the whole and then if anybody has topics we can roll into that um just an update from committees uh we're currently working on the 25 26 uh school calendar um we have a committee uh that
represents uh Administration staff um from both Collingswood and Oakland um and are doing some significant work on that so uh stay tuned that'll be out shortly press to review uh um just a couple points on the budget um you know
we every uh year we get to go down to Atlantic City for the school board's convention and one of the best professional learning experiences I I continue to enjoy um but in a lot of ways what is happening with the budget currently is almost like sitting at the blackjack table and Oakland now for the
last couple years uh we we've come up with 21 but the dealer doesn't lose and so uh in school boards a lot of these uh budget related workshops they refer to the fiscal cliff that's pending um so
just a couple of points I really want to highlight and and for the board to think about and for the community to be aware of um again if if we have flat funding if we don't have these lucky windfalls uh we're looking at about a $300,000
deficit because we can't go above that 2% cap the way the funding formula currently Works uh the the only reason why we didn't get hit so badly last year uh was because we were able to take the majority of our curriculum funding and put it into the remaining covid funds um
so that long term that that's going to be we're going to be falling off the cliff um you know we've been very lucky uh with with the stabilization Aid with Coles with reimbursement as Miss Coleman just presented um with with the healthcare uh reimbursement um
adjustment um those those are all great but those aren't things that we can rely on year after year after year um again with with that 2% cap Mrs Coleman mentioned two of the biggest areas that impact our budget are trans are
transportation and out of District placements um that would be for uh students with I APS that that we don't have the programming to support um just to make it clear transportation and out of District placements don't have a
cap so we're at there Merc um and uh you know as Miss colan mentioned if if those are things that can just pop up like that um so I I would encourage uh you know everybody on the board everybody in the community um
there's the uh New Jersey fair funding Collective that's n jfc.org um they're hosting events um where you can contribute comments feedback electronically or in person uh next event is actually tomorrow night
um and that is yeah had Township uh high school media center so right around the corner um so you know we need to continue to make our voices heard um and and to address this because we're we're hanging
on by a thread and we're not at the cliff yet but we're pretty close um and like I said the dealers they're they're not going to let us keep winning so um you know we need to continue to advocate for that thank you any other topics for committee of the whole comments
