Our Agenda

▰ Academic, Financial, & Operations Update

June Five Year Forecast Update

Revenue Overview

- FY20 Real Estate Revenue increased over the previous year due to higher delinquency tax collections and higher collections rates.

- The FY20 and FY21 projected reductions in state funding will offset a portion of budget equalization reductions the district is putting into place next year.

Expenditure Overview

- Purchased services and salaries, the district’s largest expenditures, continue to grow year-over-year.

- For the current fiscal year, higher repair costs were the main driver of the increase in purchased services.

- One-time cost increases associated with the LED project increased capital outlay by $2,500,000 between FY20 and FY21.

Declining Cash Balance
