15
01:34:54.955 --> 01:35:28.456
record Do you know, one I now move into the Board of Nurse presentation. When? A board members administration. I just want to take a few moments and walk you

16
01:35:31.592 --> 01:35:40.234
through the June 30th, 2025 Annual Audit report, as well as the auditors report on management. So first, I want to start with

17
01:35:40.234 --> 01:35:49.843
the opinion, that was given was an unmodified opinion, which is the highest opinion that can be received in an audit. So that

18
01:35:49.843 --> 01:36:05.358
says that the financial statements are free of any material in the statements. Also, I'd like to take a moment, just talk through the general fund. The district end of the year in

19
01:36:05.358 --> 01:36:11.131
their general fund with about 770,000 dollars of revenues exceeding expenditures. What does that mean? That's merely a

20
01:36:11.131 --> 01:36:27.547
little one percent of the total expenditures of the district. As an end result, there was about 23 million dollars of fund, balance the large majority of that fund balance is

21
01:36:27.547 --> 01:36:43.196
either restricted or assigned restricted either for uses in future budgets to assist with balancing it and making it financially viable or assigned to expenses that are going to be

22
01:36:43.196 --> 01:36:58.312
paid in the 25-26. The next piece I'd like to touch on in the AMR or the Orders report. Is this year was a first year audit. So we focused on large majority of the district and

23
01:36:58.312 --> 01:37:07.187
there are some recommendations which would result with corrective action plan but I do want to point out the large majority of those

24
01:37:07.187 --> 01:37:24.171
recommendations are documentation related and certain compliance. I'll pause there for any questions. Thank you.

25
01:37:26.307 --> 01:37:35.782
Thanks to the budget review. To my turn this over to the smaller business administrator. I want to just grant nice presentation

26
01:37:35.782 --> 01:37:45.893
in the work that has led us here. This budget, reflects months of analysis. Then meetings with

27
01:37:45.893 --> 01:37:59.305
administration and our union leadership. It's an analysis. difficult decisions. In a focus on maintaining instructional integrity while responding to

28
01:37:59.305 --> 01:38:13.520
physical strengths. About. Good evening. President Reagan Vice President Fernandez Steve Board members Superintendent Voice and the members of the

29
01:38:13.520 --> 01:38:24.931
Roselle Park community First, I would like to extend a special thank you to Mr. Chefo, who's our order that just left? for

30
01:38:24.931 --> 01:38:36.143
his audit presentation, this evening, as many of, you know, are former auditor, suddenly retired and the firm of Lurch Vinci and Bliss was board approved in

31
01:38:36.143 --> 01:38:43.917
April Mr. Chufo and his team dedicated counts, countless hours and district to ensure that are ordered was completed and presented this year. As we

32
01:38:43.917 --> 01:39:07.074
sincerely appreciate their work. Tonight, I will present the 2026-2027 budget, including the major revenue sources. Spending priorities cost drivers and projected local tax impact.

33
01:39:08.175 --> 01:39:15.182
The goal is to provide a clear and high level overview of what is changing, why it is changing and how the budget continues to support students while remaining

34
01:39:15.182 --> 01:39:41.975
fiscally responsible This slide provides the enrollment context for the budget. The district is projecting pupils on roll to increase from 1,953. In 2025-26 to 2008 in 2627,

35
01:39:41.975 --> 01:39:53.653
that's an increase of 55 students or approximately 2.8 percent. Most notably. Most notable change, is that in is in special full-time

36
01:39:53.653 --> 01:40:03.330
enrollment, which is projected to increase by 70 students. This matters because enrollment drives services instructional supports transportation and

37
01:40:03.330 --> 01:40:14.274
related. Course The chart shows, that while regular full-time enrollment is relatively stable. Special full-time. Enrollment is a

38
01:40:14.274 --> 01:40:28.188
growing area and must be planned for responsibly. This book, this slide explains the difference between the tentative budget, submitted for the county and the final adopted

39
01:40:28.188 --> 01:40:39.332
budget. April 21st, We had a tenant budget that was approved by the board. The reason that there is

40
01:40:39.332 --> 01:40:50.310
a change is that? Because we didn't have the order complete. And now it is complete, we could speak better about our plans for the budget. The final budget reflects audit related,

41
01:40:50.310 --> 01:41:06.659
adjustments with the clearer picture of available resources. The general front increased from 52.7 million in a tentative budget to 57.9 million in the final adopted

42
01:41:06.659 --> 01:41:18.371
budget while the tax levy remained unchanged at 2.7 million. A key point is that the 4.7 million capital reserve deposit was funded by real cap

43
01:41:18.371 --> 01:41:36.957
reallocating one time surplus. It does not represent an increase to the tax levy or to reoccurring operating costs. And just to elaborate a little bit further about what the capital reserve is.

44
01:41:38.158 --> 01:41:45.832
it's in some like, layman's turns like a savings account that the district uses for major building and facility needs. Things like roofs

45
01:41:45.832 --> 01:41:51.071
heating cooling systems. Safety upgrades large repairs. when we move the money into capital reserve, we are setting it aside

46
01:41:51.071 --> 01:42:05.218
so that we can pay for those big projects in the future. We are currently working with our architects to complete our long-range facility plan and

47
01:42:05.218 --> 01:42:18.664
this will help subsidize that as well. Several operating lines were reduced to help fund the capital reserve deposit including

48
01:42:18.664 --> 01:42:37.417
health benefits, maintenance, supplies, and purchase services. For the 26-27 total revenue and sources equal 62.8 million. The operating budget is 57.8 million in the

49
01:42:37.417 --> 01:42:52.732
tax levy is 24.7 million. Overall revenue grows modestly over the prior year while the tax levy is held to a 2% increase. One time, budget fund balance

50
01:42:52.732 --> 01:43:07.714
remains an important source in this budget. helping the district manage rising costs by limiting, the impact on taxpayers. This slide shows where the

51
01:43:07.714 --> 01:43:15.188
district revenues are coming from. Local revenue is the largest source of approximately 25.7 million followed by the state at approximately 21.6

52
01:43:15.188 --> 01:43:26.767
million. Fund balance is also a significant part of the revenue plan as approximately 10.6 million grants total

53
01:43:26.767 --> 01:43:40.880
approximately 5 million. The Federal Reserve is comparatively small. The main message is that the district is using a combination of local revenue state support,

54
01:43:40.880 --> 01:44:02.236
grant funding and available funds, balance to support the proposed budget. The proposed 26-27 local tax levy is. 24.7 million.

55
01:44:07.607 --> 01:44:14.181
This represents an increase of 483,714 for 2%. This flight is important because it separates the overall budget discussion

56
01:44:14.181 --> 01:44:31.064
from the local levy impact. Even with increased cost pressures, the proposed tax, celebrity remains at 2%. This slide breaks down the major state aid components for the

57
01:44:31.064 --> 01:44:46.079
26-27. Budget. Equalization aid is the largest component at 17.9 million. Special education. Aid is 2.7 million.

58
01:44:49.516 --> 01:44:59.493
security aid is 668,097, and transportation aid is to 2111,050. The key takeaway is that the state is a major part

59
01:44:59.493 --> 01:45:19.246
of the budget, but is concentrated most heavily and equalization A The proposed all fund budget is approximately 62.8 million, which is an

60
01:45:23.617 --> 01:45:32.658
increase of 1,400, I'll say, 1.4 million, or about 2.3 35%, from what the 25-26 Revised Budget. The general fund is approximately 57.9 million

61
01:45:32.658 --> 01:45:40.800
and represents 92% of all appropriations. Special revenue is approximately five million and primarily reflects school

62
01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:48.108
preschool and grants. the key point is that the increase is concentrated in current operating costs rather than

63
01:45:48.108 --> 01:46:03.723
capital outlay. This slide highlights major budget drivers without account codes, so focus remains on the board categories. The broad

64
01:46:03.723 --> 01:46:17.504
category board. Sorry. Regular instruction increases from approximately 14.4 million to 16.1. Special education, Increase instruction increases from

65
01:46:17.504 --> 01:46:30.984
approximately 3.4 million to 4.3 million. Employee benefits increase significantly from approximately 9.2 million to 13.3 million and

66
01:46:30.984 --> 01:46:42.629
or the largest single upward pressure in the budget. Just in case you can't see the What's underneath the graphs? It

67
01:46:42.629 --> 01:46:54.040
goes from 24, 25. 26, 26, 27. Those are the three percent, you see up there. Tuition and operation and maintenance are shown as comparatively stable or

68
01:46:54.040 --> 01:47:14.293
decreasing, which helps offset some of the increases in the other areas. The proposed 26:27, general fund, total is 57.9 million and increase of 1.2 million or about 2.44% from the

69
01:47:14.293 --> 01:47:21.901
25-26 revised budget. Most of the general fund is current expansion expense, which includes day-to-day costs of operating schools, and

70
01:47:21.901 --> 01:47:34.647
supporting programs. Capital outlay drops shortly from the revised to 24. 25 26 amount because significant facility acquisitions and

71
01:47:34.647 --> 01:47:53.232
construction costs for reflected in the prior year. And not repeated at the same level in the proposed here. I just read the wrong side, so I

72
01:47:53.232 --> 01:48:01.675
apologize for them. Really looking at this. Now, Now, we're good within the current expense, the largest areas are employing employee benefits and

73
01:48:01.675 --> 01:48:15.021
regular instruction Employee benefits increased by approximately 4. .15 million which is the largest single cost pressure in the proposed budget regular

74
01:48:15.021 --> 01:48:23.463
instruction remains the largest individual instructional area at approximately 16.1 million. This shows that instruction remains the central priority in the

75
01:48:23.463 --> 01:48:40.313
budget. Other categories, move, moderately or decline compared to the revised year. But this slide helps explain why the overall budget growth

76
01:48:40.313 --> 01:48:53.493
appears more measured than some individual cost. Pressures would suggest. The 25-26 revised budget included approximately 6.03 million in capital outlay,

77
01:48:53.493 --> 01:49:02.902
largely due to major facilities related cost For 2627 proposed capital. Outlay is approximately 33,000, which is a much smaller amount.

78
01:49:02.902 --> 01:49:16.282
This means that a large. Prior year. Capital line is not repeating in the proposed year and as I mentioned earlier, waiting for our long-range facility plan would help us plan

79
01:49:16.282 --> 01:49:32.499
better for our capital outlay. This slide shows that the general fund accounts for the overwhelming majority of the proposed appropriations approximately 57.9 million or

80
01:49:32.499 --> 01:49:42.041
92% of the total Special revenue funds total approximately five million, or eight percent and the death

81
01:49:42.041 --> 01:49:55.488
service is listed as zero in the proposed year. The overall. both fund total is 62.8 million. This reinforces that most of the budget supports general

82
01:49:55.488 --> 01:50:15.641
operations of the district. The curriculum provides priorities for 26-27 focused on strengthening core instruction and targeting and targeted

83
01:50:15.641 --> 01:50:26.953
supports for students. The district is piloting resources with intent to purchase and core ELA for grades K3. With a

84
01:50:26.953 --> 01:50:39.132
potential expansion to grades, four five, as well as mathematics resources for grade, six eight and high school math courses, based on a pilot. Feedback.

85
01:50:39.132 --> 01:50:44.003
The budget also supports multi-tiered systems of support including resources for tier two and tier three, math and

86
01:50:44.003 --> 01:51:00.019
reading levels. And needs an inter and multidisciplinary team training. Additional support priorities. Also expanding you fly into

87
01:51:00.019 --> 01:51:04.791
grades four, five strengthening foundation, foundational math investing and into intervention and enriching platforms. Using

88
01:51:04.791 --> 01:51:16.035
real data. I'm sorry that's really been slightly read that on, I apologize. So again, the pilot, the pilot programs are

89
01:51:16.035 --> 01:51:30.183
going to help choose the right program for the district and the multi-tiered system of support just mentioned, and while the revisions in the curricula as well,

90
01:51:32.252 --> 01:51:42.195
Special education initiatives. Revising the scope and sequence for all specialized program and district ASD. LLD MD, Expend

91
01:51:42.195 --> 01:51:51.704
ASC program into the high school. Continue all in program, it's the New Jersey Inclusion Project grant with Aldine and Sherman

92
01:51:51.704 --> 01:52:01.781
and Robert Gordon. Moved to digital-based special education. Evaluations help preschool team to develop better understanding

93
01:52:01.781 --> 01:52:11.991
of development development. Truly in appropriate, to foster preschool inclusion. Installation of century sensory hallway at Aldine as well as

94
01:52:11.991 --> 01:52:26.939
furnishing. Sensory spaces spaces in all ASD classrooms. Part of special education, collaboration and communication is, is important partnering

95
01:52:26.939 --> 01:52:37.583
with cadre. The district is in the early planning stages of working with Cadre Center for appropriate dispute resolution

96
01:52:37.583 --> 01:52:45.224
and special education to support. Professional development for staff. Focus areas are such as strengthening communications with family,

97
01:52:45.224 --> 01:52:55.468
building collaborative problem-solving practices. Supporting proactive student-centered student-centered conversations. Improving shared understanding

98
01:52:55.468 --> 01:53:10.416
of the IEP process Land of Use Funds. a portion of the districts 2627 idea funds is anticipated to support planning and implementation of this program.

99
01:53:10.416 --> 01:53:17.723
Family engagement component is part of it. The district's hopes to include a family parent component, as part of this work The goal is to strengthen partnership between special

100
01:53:17.723 --> 01:53:27.066
education, families and the district through a shared learning and improved communication. The overall goal is to foster stronger

101
01:53:27.066 --> 01:53:37.343
collability collaboration, reduce conflict and support more productive, student-centered, special, education, planning,

102
01:53:39.712 --> 01:53:46.319
some of the grants that we we have and that we're hoping to continue into the New Year. As we all know, we have title funding Title, One Title 2 Title

103
01:53:46.319 --> 01:53:58.030
3 and we did result title for funds in this school year. Hoping that we do as well in the next school year. When we budget for title

104
01:53:58.030 --> 01:54:03.803
funding, we always go 20% less than what we receive this year as a free question to make sure that we don't over budget in an

105
01:54:03.803 --> 01:54:15.314
area. Idea grant funding as well, which is really critical. And again, we estimate that at 20% less as well. Extraordinary

106
01:54:15.314 --> 01:54:28.027
aid. We're anticipating a 1.1. and the impact grant that gave us approximately a hundred thousand dollars, her professional advancement in coherent teaching, the lift

107
01:54:28.027 --> 01:54:42.742
grant was all. So part of this year hoping to continue that into the New Year $40,000 for literacy initiative for families and thriving communities.

108
01:54:44.010 --> 01:54:58.191
Try our best to take advantage of as many grants as we can. The early childhood education is our preschool program. As you know, we have a preschool full day for three and four year

109
01:54:58.191 --> 01:55:04.464
olds total of 13 classrooms projected for next year, which increases that by one classroom and we are hoping to expand

110
01:55:04.464 --> 01:55:18.544
that even further We are also adding on a second relief teacher and that's her. The grant requirements. Buildings and Grounds. These are

111
01:55:18.544 --> 01:55:29.555
some of the projects that we we're going to definitely move forward with. We're hoping to move forward with them all we're really looking into the new HVAC unit

112
01:55:29.555 --> 01:55:38.664
at the high school gym. Sherman and Robert Gordon installation of new boilers, we've met with, A company that could help us get some rebates on that. So we're

113
01:55:38.664 --> 01:55:49.475
hoping that we can move that forward this this summer or at least one of those projects. New LED lighting, district wide. Also, there are rebates and

114
01:55:49.475 --> 01:55:57.216
opportunity for reducing costs on that. Roof, repairs district-wide. We're looking to pave the rest of Sherman's

115
01:55:57.216 --> 01:56:14.267
blacktop and the Hermes field. Walkway, as we were told, We're getting quotes on that, that this will help as you're walking out to the field. The band a lot of times they have, instruments

116
01:56:14.267 --> 01:56:23.676
with wheels and this will help them move forward without with ease and not over rocks and aggressive gravel. Maintenance

117
01:56:23.676 --> 01:56:32.885
projects, we're painting district wide and that's actually taking place every day at night.

118
01:56:34.153 --> 01:56:39.692
floor replacement district-wide. Definitely doing some floors at the high school on the second floor. We have that scheduled to go. Jim Floor. We finished at the high school and the middle

119
01:56:39.692 --> 01:56:51.637
school. Prepare fencing, district-wide high school. Bathroom renovation. Installation of new sod at aldine, and plumbing, repairs and upgrades. That is an

120
01:56:51.637 --> 01:57:09.956

144
02:03:46.785 --> 02:03:55.928
Meeting McDermott Roselle Park, I'm the parent of a student receiving special education services. I'm speaking as a private citizen and not as a

145
02:03:55.928 --> 02:04:05.237
representative of the Roselle Park Cpeg. I want to acknowledge that this budget reflects it continued commitment to special education. Instructional spending is up and related

146
02:04:05.237 --> 02:04:12.211
services are increasing. These are important investments for students who depend on them. I wanted to comment on a couple of things that I think are worth

147
02:04:12.211 --> 02:04:24.222
watching as the As our mentioned. Full-time. Special Educ. Ation. It's next year, it's about 22% increase. I would

148
02:04:24.222 --> 02:04:34.433
encourage the board to confirm that staffing and support. Ing in this budget. I'd encourage

149
02:04:34.433 --> 02:04:40.205
the board to confirm that the staffing and support increases in this budget. Translate to adequate capacity on the ground.

150
02:04:40.205 --> 02:04:49.748
So particularly giving that's given the child study team line is trending slightly down despite growing enrollment. Um, I wanted to raise a

151
02:04:49.748 --> 02:04:58.524
structural issue, that affects the whole district's budget picture on New Jersey Fund, special education, using a census-based model that assumed

152
02:04:58.524 --> 02:05:04.196
directly 16% of each district students require services Roosevelt Parks projected, special education enrollment is

153
02:05:04.196 --> 02:05:13.305
closer to 19% the district receives a based on the assumed rate, not our actual population. That means roseville. Park's taxpayers are already making up

154
02:05:13.305 --> 02:05:24.750
the difference for students, the states on formula doesn't fully account for. So I would like to encourage the board to advocate loudly at the state level for a funding formula. That reflects what our

155
02:05:24.750 --> 02:05:33.158
community actually looks like. And then finally, I'd like to ask the board to make the budget easier for the public to review. The line items are

156
02:05:33.158 --> 02:05:41.065
there, but it's only available as a PDF. It's difficult to search and read easily post. the underlying data as an accessible format, like Excel would help families. And

157
02:05:41.065 --> 02:06:13.832
taxpayers have more important. Conversations. Being no one else. Magazines have emotion. That's just All in favor. The next

158
02:06:13.832 --> 02:06:26.645
schedule of good support. >> +1 610-***-**99: Night. >> Tom Dovidio: meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 19 2026 at 6 PMS. The board meeting will be held and the Roselle Park High School Auditorium.
