IV. Work Session
IV.A. Current Revenue Landscape and Revenue Generating Options
Rationale

CFO Cordelia Hardin will provide an overview of local tax options, revenue trend data, changes in state appropriations, and retirement expense as compared to 2008.

Chay Ritter, a KSBA approved trainer from KDE’s Office of Finance and Operations, will present options for generating additional revenue with a particular focus on facilities funding.

This work session addresses action steps within the final Corrective Action Plan (CAP) under the Settlement Agreement with KDE. The Agreement states “KDE recommends that the Board members consider any and all additional revenue sources (e.g. nickel equivalent tax, utility tax) to address critical facility needs.”

This work session will directly implement four action steps found in the final CAP:

Finance A1.        Facilitate an organization session for Board members using KSBA training on revenue sources

Finance A2.        Train Board members on revenue sources

Finance A5.        Conduct work sessions providing overview to determine if additional revenue sources need to be explored

Finance A6.         Report Board member training hours.
