Seattle Schools, Week of July 9-14, 2018

Monday, July 9th
First meeting of the Facilities Master Plan Taskforce from 2-5 pm at JSCEE.  Agenda.

Wednesday, July 11th
School Board meeting, starting at 4:15 pm.  Agenda

This Board meeting heralds the arrival of the new superintendent, Denise Juneau. 

The agenda finds a lengthy list of Consent items as well as Action items.  There are no intro items.  Given most of it looks most facilities-based or pro forma, I would think you could speak to the Superintendent and the Board on most any topic.  I know that members of the Native American community will be asking for an explanation to the unilateral decision by the principal at RESMS to end allowing 2 evenings of space for programming that directly supports those students. 

The one notable item is this:

Resolution 2017/18-18, Fixing and Adopting the 2018-19 Budget opens a pdf file opens a pdf file  (A&F, June 11, for consideration) Approval of this item would adopt Resolution 2017/18-18, to fix and adopt the 2018-2019 Budget, the four-year budget plan summary, and the four-year enrollment projections.

Highlights:

- The School Board is being asked to adopt the 2018-2019 Recommended Budget. This adoption includes approval of operating transfers from the Capital Projects Fund to the Debt Service Fund up to the amount of $2,688,325 and transfers up to the amount of $20,696,877 to the General Fund. 

 

Then this:

 

The 2018-2019 General Fund Budget is recommended at $955,448,694. General Fund resources are comprised of $ 860,243,231 in non-grant resources and $ 95,205,463 in grant funds. Included in these amounts are capacity reserves of $ 18,139,758 in non-grant capacity and $8,000,000 in grant capacity. The capacity reserves are placeholders for potential spending in the event that new revenues are received or unspent funds from 2017-18 are transferred to 2018-19. 

They seem to have the money they need for the General Fund already-  $955,448,694.   It would appear the district is transferring the money from Capital Projects to hold....for something? 

 

As well,

 

The 2018-2019 Capital Fund is recommended at $303,424,622 The Capital Fund revenue is comprised of: $194,058,167 of Building Technology Academics IV and Building Excellence IV levy collections; $12,575,249 of State Assistance Funding; $4,200,000 of E-Rate; $671,923 of investment earnings from Building Technology Academics/ Athletics IV, Building Excellence IV, Building Technology Academics III, Building Excellence III, Building Technology Academics II, and Capital Eligible Projects;$1,410,356 in rentals and leases; $7,616,638 in Capital Grants and $60,000,000 in a cash flow bond, less $2,688,325 million in funding transfers to the Debt Service, and $20,696,877 million in funding transfers to the General Fund. 

I'm confused. Because when I voted for those highlighted items, I didn't realize the district would be holding some part of each to use for investments.  I thought it would be going to those items named in the levy.   I don't care if the "investment" goes to Facilities; I want it to go to what was named in the levy.  What might be helpful is if the district actually put out a very detailed accounting of all the projects and the dollars.  The district damages its credibility to voters on school levies when they do this. 

And take a look at page 2 of the BAR - the chart labelled Four-Year Forecast.  Look at the General Fund.  Total resources for 2018-2019 of over $1B but the next year it drops to $927M.  Meanwhile they show a growth of between 500-1000 kids a year for the district and so expenditures rise.

Friday, July 13th
BEX/BTA Oversight Committee, JSCEE, 8:30-10:30 am. No agenda yet available.
