9.D. Auditor Selection for FY19
Rationale

BACKGROUND:  White and Associates, PSC has been our auditing firm for the past 2 years.  Mr. White has proposed the cost of $13,500 to complete the FY19 audit which is another increase of $500. 

 

I do not feel that our records are being scrutinized as thoroughly as in the past and many more manpower hours are spent facilitating the audit.  I have solicited the following from two other firms:

 

            Stiles, Carter & Associates                           $15,500

            Wise, Buckner, Sprowles & Associates          $14,850


Recommended Motion

Due to my previous experience with Stiles, Carter & Associates, I recommend that we use the firm for the FY19 audit at the cost of $15,500.

9.F. New Skills For Youth Participation for 2019-2020
Rationale

The NSFY presentation includes the background information for this action item. The commitment for NSFY in 2018-2019 includes $5000 towards the program coordinator salary and benefits and $10,000 for materials. In addition, our school district will need to cover the cost of transporting students to the Nelson County Area Technology Center, anticipated to be $40,000. A portion of the transportation cost can be reimbursed by state career & technical education transportation funds. Further details about the services we will receive for this cost are included in the "NSFY Update" presentation. 

There is an additional offer to consider adding Project Lead The Way participation, however, we are holding that decision until the March meeting to provide enough time to study and evaluate this additional option. Details about the PLTW option are included in the presentation.

702 KAR 3:246. School council allocation formula: KETS District Administrative System Chart of Accounts.

 

      RELATES TO: KRS 160.345(8)

      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 156.070(4), 160.345(8)

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 160.345(8) requires that the Kentucky Board of Education promulgate an administrative regulation which establishes a formula by which school district funds shall be allocated to each school council. This administrative regulation establishes the school council allocation formula for use by local school districts utilizing the Kentucky Education Technology System (KETS) District Administrative System Chart of Accounts per 702 KAR 3:120.

 

      Section 1. Definitions. (1) "Categorical programs" means programs under which funding and uses for the funding are specifically set by the funding authority and are not in the general fund.

      (2) "District average certified teacher’s salary" means the dollar value determined by dividing paragraph (a) of this subsection by paragraph (b) of this subsection, with:

      (a) Equal to the total of all salaries paid to certified personnel working noncategorical programs in the district for 185 days or a different number of days as required by the General Assembly; and

      (b) Equal to the total number of certified personnel working in non-categorical programs in the district.

 

      Section 2. (1) The local school district shall provide notice to school councils of a tentative allocation by March 1 and notice of an updated allocation by May 1 of each year for the funds and positions identified in Sections 4, 5, 6, and 8 of this administrative regulation for the next budget year in accordance with this administrative regulation.

      (2) The local school district shall provide to school councils an allocation pursuant to Section 7 of this administrative regulation for the next budget year by May 30 of each year in accordance with this administrative regulation.

      Section 4. Allocation for Certified Staff. (1) A board staffing policy or guidelines shall be established to determine the number of allocated positions for certified staff for each school. To determine the allocation to school councils for certified staff, the district shall provide sufficient funds:

      (a) To meet class size caps and pupil contact hours established in KRS 157.360 based on the projected full-time equivalent enrollment for the upcoming school year; and

      (b) To meet other classroom teaching and certified staff positions not included in paragraph (a) of this subsection that are generated by the local board certified staffing policy.

      (2) Any revisions of staffing policy or guidelines for the next school year shall be adopted by the local board and submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education by May 1 of each year.

      (3) Funds for positions allocated in subsection (1) of this section shall be based on the previous year's actual 185 day certified salary or the number of contract days as otherwise required by the Kentucky General Assembly within a biennial budget adjusted by changes in rank, additional years of experience, and changes in the district's salary schedule for each existing staff member.

      (4) Funds for new and vacant certified staff positions shall be based on a minimum of ninety-five (95) percent of the district's average 185 day certified salary adjusted for changes in the district's salary schedule for noncategorical staff paid in the previous year.

      (5) If the actual salary of new certified personnel is less than ninety-five (95) percent of the district average certified teacher’s salary, the difference shall revert to the district budget for possible reallocation under Section 7 of this administrative regulation.

      (6) Any adjustments to the allocation due to increases in salary schedules, salary adjustments, or increases or decreases in enrollment shall be made by September 15. A council shall be notified of an adjustment if the adjustment represents a change in staffing due to enrollment increases or decreases.

      (2) The amount generated in subsection (1) of this section shall be adjusted at the end of the second school month for changes in average daily attendance and projected funding for SEEK.

      (3) Allocations for operating expenses, including utilities, or for health and safety requirements of schools shall not be included in the allocations required by Sections 4, 5, 7, or 8 of this administrative regulation or this section. If funds are given to a school for these purposes, the funds shall be distributed in a separate allocation.

 

      Section 7. Distribution of the Balance. (1) The balance between the amount generated in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of this administrative regulation and the amount available for distribution to school councils from Section 3 of this administrative regulation shall be distributed by the local board in one (1) of the following manners:

      (a) An amount per prior year final average daily attendance;

      (b) Based on pupil needs identified by school councils in their adopted school improvement plans and designated by the local school board. Money provided under this paragraph shall be used only for the needs identified by the council from its adopted school improvement plan and designated by the board;

      (c) For specific instructional purposes based on student needs identified by the board from disaggregated student achievement data. Money provided under this paragraph shall be used by the council to address only the identified needs; or

      (d) A combination of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this subsection.

      (2) An adjustment may be made to allocations under subsection (1) of this section at the end of the second school month for changes in average daily attendance and projected funding for SEEK, and changes in the projections for prior year, end-of-year balances.

      (3) If the allocations in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of this administrative regulation generate more funds than are available in Section 3 of this administrative regulation for distribution to school councils, the local board shall make every reasonable effort to make up the deficit.

 

      Section 8. (1) A tentative amount for professional development shall be allocated within thirty (30) days of notification from the Kentucky Department of Education, pursuant to KRS 160.345(8).

      (2) The amount allocated shall be equal to at least the minimum requirement multiplied by the average daily attendance from the prior school year.

      (3) The amount of professional development allocation shall be amended by September 15 to reflect the most recent annual average daily attendance.

      Section 11. A district shall not be prohibited from passing on to school councils any reduction in state and local revenues.

 

      Section 12. (1) The Kentucky Board of Education may approve requests from local school districts annually to use an alternative formula to allocate funds to schools.

      (2) A local school district requesting approval to use an alternative process shall submit written documentation that the formula would generate funding equal to or greater than the amount provided to school councils under Section 3 of this administrative regulation.

      (3) All requests shall be received by the Kentucky Department of Education by October 1 preceding the allocation year.

      (4) Any alternative process approved by the Kentucky Board of Education shall be subject to subsequent review.

 

      Section 13.

School Staffing (SBDM)

Board Allocation Notices

In accordance with 702 KAR 003:246, the Board shall provide each council with both a tentative and a final/updated allocation for school staffing for the next fiscal year. The notifications shall include the Board-approved guidelines used in determining the allocations and the formulas utilized in calculating numbers of positions. Allocations, at a minimum, shall budget funds sufficient for the council to meet the following staffing needs of the school:

    1. Certified Staff:

      1. Statutory class size caps based on projected student enrollment to the nearest one-tenth position minus all state enrollment deductions;

      2. Pupil contact hours as required by law; and

      3. All other certified staff positions generated by District guidelines approved annually by the Board, excluding fringe benefits, categorical programs, exceptional children services, itinerant, extra duty and extended employment positions, and positions allocated that are not required by statutory cap size requirements.

    2. Classified Staff:

      1. All school-based positions approved annually by the Board in non-categorical programs.

    3. All Positions:

      1. To provide salaries including adjustments for any salary changes made by the Board; and

      2. To budget for vacant positions at 95% of the average District salary for the job classification.

        Any revisions made to the District’s policy/guidelines (whichever contains specific formula information) for the next school year shall be forwarded to the Kentucky Department of Education by May 1 of each year.

        Council Authority

        After receiving notification of the final financial allocation for the school from the Board, the council shall determine, within the funds allocated, the number of persons to be employed at the school in each school level job classification. The council shall not have the authority to recommend transfers or dismissals. The council shall not alter the staffing of District instructional services provided to all schools, including exceptional children teachers and itinerant teachers.

        For existing school level vacancies, the council may choose to reassign funds from one Board approved school level job classification to another, or to use these funds for other purposes consistent with its responsibilities. Funds remaining from the school's staffing allocation at the end of the year shall revert to the District's general fund, unless the council receives Board approval to escrow the funds to be used at a future date for an approved project.

        Council to Report

        By the date specified by the Superintendent/designee, the council shall report to the Board the number of persons to be employed at the school in each job classification.

        Adjustments

        Adjustments to the final staffing allocation may be made due to increases in salary schedules, salary adjustments or changes in enrollment. However, any such adjustments shall be made by September 15 and the council notified if the adjustment represents a change.

        Impact on District Budget

        The funding allocation to a school in future District budgets shall not be altered by council action.

        In assigning funding of vacant positions to alternate Board-approved job classifications, a council may choose to spend more than the amount allocated by the Board and provide the difference from discretionary council funds. However, the Board shall not be obligated to increase allocations in future District budgets to cover this increased expenditure.

        If the salary of new certified personnel is less than 95% of the District average certified teacher’s salary or if the actual salary of new classified personnel is less than 95% of the District’s average classified salary for the personnel job classification, the difference shall revert to the District budget for possible reallocation to schools under Section 7 of 702 KAR 003:246.

9.O. Intent to Apply KECSAC Mini Grant
Rationale

During fiscal years where there is an availability in SAC funds, KECSAC initiates a special mini-grant Request for Proposal (RFP) process to help programs fund various projects designed to meet the significant academic achievement needs of the state agency children they serve. Last year this process was not offered due to anticipated state budget cuts, but this year KECSAC is offering the competitive RFP process again for currently-funded programs. Grants are limited to $10,000 per application.

 

The Life Connection would like additional funds to pay for an interactive online reading library that is computer adaptive to fit their students needs along with additional technology support.  Reading is a critical skill that many students with special needs require assistance with throughout their lives.  Every student at The Life Connection (approximately 40 students) has an IEP and all are below grade level in reading.  It is our goal to concentrate on providing students the opportunity to improve their reading skills.  The grant will provide access to a digital library where students can find books to read for information and fun on their level.  It will also include two inter-active TV’s for our classrooms to enhance leaning activities, communication skill, presentation skills, and motivate students to have fun while learning.  The budget plans for the Scholastic interactive library approximately $4300 and two interactive monitors totaling $5400.

 

Respectfully,

Christina Boone & DW Cruse
