OSBA released policy updates in August. 

The board will meet for its PLC on November 17 at 5 p.m. We will be meeting at Talmadge Middle School.

The next regular board meeting is December 1 at 6:30 p.m.

Attached is the detail report for the General Fund (Fund 100) through Sept 30, the first quarter (25%) of the fiscal year. 

   REVENUE:  Property Tax Revenue (R1111) is primarily received in November and reports from the three counties (Polk, Marion, Benton) where the district  is located show projected taxes up slightly from budget - mostly due to increased assessed value on the tax rolls. Page 2 shows the assessed values and growth rate over the years, along with the total tax imposed. The General Fund Permanent Tax Rate is 4.8834 per $1,000 of Real Market Value. The Effective Permanent Rate takes into account properties that are exempt, or partially exempt, from taxes. 

     State School Fund Revenue (R3101) shows at greater than 25% because two payments are made in July - and none in June. Common School Fund (R3103) is revenue derived from the sale of land given to the state by the Congress in 1859, where the proceeds are held in trust. Unrestricted Grants in Aid (R31xx) is where the High Cost Disability Grant is recorded when it is received in May. 

     The Beginning Fund Balance (R5400) will be recorded when the audit is complete; the unaudited carry forward is about $7,000 short of budget.

   EXPENSE:  Overall Salaries (111 to 130) & Benefits (210 to 240) are slightly under 25% of budget due to the hiring cycle. Open positions are budgeted at 12 months, but new hires only have 10 months of pay reflected in the actuals. Other expenses are as-anticipated. Insurance (650 on page 4) is prepaid at the beginning of the year. Available Contingencies (811 to 817)  are down from prior years, but they will not be spent unless there are emergent issues that require unanticipated transfers to the expenditure budget.
