Rainy Day History (Operating Balance)
Interpreting the Financial Data (con’t.)
The Not so Good News:
• The General Fund Operating Balance has increased dramatically due in part to:• Frozen wages for teachers and administrators since 2008• Increased medical costs for teachers and administrators• Full-day Kindergarten monies found by the General Assembly and
distributed in December (we hope this funding will continue?)
• Rainy Day Balance has increased dramatically over the past couple of years due to the impending Circuit Breaker loss. This has required frozen CPF spending, and now Bus Replacement spending is frozen as well.
• We are upside down for our June, 2013 Debt Service payment by $2,322,000 due to our Circuit Breaker loss. This will be replicated in December, 2013. We will have depleted our current Rainy Day dollars by the end of 2013.

Interpreting the Financial Data (con’t.)
The Not so Good News:
• A 24 year analysis of our enrollment by grade leads us to the conclusion that our enrollment will drop 121.64 students in 2013-14. With a fairly aggressive 1% growth in enrollment for the subsequent school years our new dollars in our current Basic Grant environment would be as follows:
• 2011: $29,016,494.00• 2012: $29,734,909.00 +$718,415.00• 2013: $30,163,119.19 +$428,210.19• 2014: $29,939,026.00 -$224,093.19• 2015: $30,021,714.00 +$82,688.00• 2016: $30,281,947.00 +$260,233.00• 2017: $30,515,362.00 +$233,415.00

Give it to me plainly and simply
Circuit Breaker Loss
• I anticipate a $2,600,000 to $2,800,000 loss (on the average) annually from 2013 to 2023. There will be a slight decrease from 2024-2026 and then Life is Good.
If we:
• Freeze CPF spending by at least $1,000,000 annually• Freeze Bus Replacement spending by $400,000 annually
Then we are:
• Still short of making our Debt Service payment by $1,200,00 - $1,400,000 annually
• This shortage would not include any raises or operational increases (utilities, etc.)
With that in mind…
1. We cannot operate in an environment where pay increases are forever on hold.
2. We must develop a financially sound strategy for addressing our 2013-2014 teacher contract and administrators pay range to complement our non-certified increases of 2012.
3. We must strike a reasonable balance for medical increases.
4. We must adhere (legally) to a balanced budget (Deficit Financing)
How do we decide what to do?
1. Building visits to discuss options with our employees
2. Take the next steps to collaborate, and research options completely (Our New Normal)
1. Six Sigma partnership with Cummins (Andy Lamm)1. General Fund Optimization analysis
2. Efficiency analysis in the following areas:1. Debt Service (Bond refunding and GO Bonds)2. Banking3. Procurement cards (credit cards with a rebate attached)4. Energy cost containment (Goal of 6% - $110,000)5. Workplace safety (Workers Compensation)6. Maintenance, Grounds, Custodial, Transportation7. Core functions in academics (culture)
So what are our options?
1. General Fund Operating Referendum 1. Would buy us 7 years2. Who is with me?
2. Refund Bond and/or Restructuring our Debt with the Distressed Unit Appeals Board1. Refund our 2004 Bond2. Limited assistance and limited chances of success
3. General Obligation Bonds1. Issue a GO Bond in 2013, and then every two years or as needed
4. Hybrid approach:1. Limit CPF and Bus Replacement spending2. Create a “New Normal” relative to spending in Franklin Schools3. Refund our 2004 Bond4. Wrap in periodic General Obligation Bonds
Refunding Bonds, GO Bonds, etc.
