liy and justice for all this is to advise those present at this March 12th 2024 regular board Workshop Action meeting of the Board of Education of the city of Pleasantville in the county of Atlantic that notice was given on January the 20th 2024 of the revised annual designation of the regular monthly board meetings as required by the provisions of chapter 231 of the laws of 197 75 notice thereof has been distributed for publication in the Press posted in the administration building and forwarded to the city clerk of the city of Pleasantville within the time required by set act roll call Miss White Miss Alberto Miss Clemens Miss King here miss melow I just want to put it on record that Miss mow um is absent Miss Morgan Miss silver present Miss gray uh I just want to put it on a record also that Miss gray won't be here today she's not F Well M roell present good yes next 1.5 public comments agenda items only when you come could you just please St your name and please be courteous and respectful next we first we have Mrs Priscilla Noel good [Music] evening [Music] I had a question about um item for educational support services and wondering was this going to be a temporary behavioral number 3.20 behavioral academic and health support services is this just a temporary fix or is this going to be a continual service provided to our students to um retain them in the district or is this um and where are these funds coming from that is one concern I have um in addition to that I see that there is under human resources Malachi Timberlake a recruitment Committee Member I think that we when we do these things and we appoint people who are helping the community and helping our student athletes that we have mechanisms in place to support them like having a website specifically for High School athletics to highlight our athletes so that those who are recruiting them do not have to go through a Labyrinth of our district website to access the information to contact those people that are in charge of managing recruitment which leads me into from the board minutes uh item 2.1 as far as when y'all voted in a transportation to hire a transportation person I hope moving forward that our student athletes do not have to worry about transportation to a away gains to a away competitions because it impedes the process of them being able to just focus on their compe ition like when our boys had their basketball game and for some reason nobody seems to have uh for our district enough care to have for the students so that they can be transport instead they do late callouts and all that how can we Implement things so that that is avoided or that that doesn't happen and that people care enough that they will come to work and report and feel incentivized to do the right thing like instead of my father-in-law having to step up and be the village person and take not only my child his grandchild but other students but that's what a community mindset is and I want to applaud my father-in-law for doing that thank you thank you Mrs [Applause] no anyone else next the superintendent can everyone just come down for we can um she has a

know where they go after this does anyone have any any um questions on the superintendent report or the presentation thank you Dr Martinez next uh 1.7 the presentation of the audit by Ford Scott good evening uh I hope it wasn't me that they saw on the agenda that pushed the rush out the door but I'm here to present your 2023 St so happy rep first off that you had no audit findings in either the acfr or the AMR which is the smaller report you would have gotten uh that's not so much financially related it's more management how things are run and that would be where we'd have any small comments for the year ended June 30th 2023 you had an increase of just under $5 million in your general fund balance primary drivers to this were your some participated miscellaneous revenue and over $700,000 of U extraordinary aid over and above the 300 that you had budgeted so you were actually able to bring in over a million dollars in what's called extraordinary special education Aid so that supplements the cost for your students uh for your special education students and the rest of it was in savings within the budget so you spent less than you had anticipated spending uh primarily through controls and monitoring over the expenditures your fund balance as of June 30th 2023 which on the budgetary basis which is your day-to-day operations was just over $25 million this is broken up into about seven different components the two largest being your EXs Surplus so these two together totaled just under $16.2 million what these amounts represent are the state does make you do a calculation annually any fund balance in excess of uh in this year 2% in Prior years 4% is required to be returned to the taxpayers in the form of surplus anticipated in your budget so fund balance anticipated out of the 16.1 million 7.7 million has been included in the budget you're operating in currently and the balance of just under $8.5 million will be in year 2425 budget uh the increase of approximately $800,000 to this number was a result of the decrease in the percentage the state allows you to keep during Co they allowed you to keep 4% now they're back to the 2% that we were previous to co I'm also happy to uh tell you that your fund balance in the Food Service fund increased just under $170,000 last year so again um as many of you know for many many years that had run in a deficit position and it has been brought back around so uh that is good and keeps you guys running with liquidity in there and I don't know whether you know it or not but last month you made the last payment on this building and across the street so you have no more bonded debt as of February 2024 uh does not happen very often in larger districts uh but you are debt free in your in the big book that you had received if you would like to see if you start on page 92 through Page 109 these are called the D3 schedules and what these are are the expenses by each individual school so you can see what each individual school has spent on office supplies uh principal's office Health all those types of things they all roll back up in the front uh it's just some unique schedules that you have in your audit that many other local districts won't have because of the school-based budgeting requirement and if you would enjoy some light reading uh you have J schedules in the back year audit report starting on page 118 these schedules provide uh various Trend analysis uh whether it is 10year periods so each year listed for 10 or it is a current year and nine-year look back these give you the ability to see how the district is doing over time uh and it's nice and include your enrollment information uh full-time equivalent employees various debt calculations which as I mentioned earlier now out of debt so that schedule's going to turn to zero but those were the uh highlights that I had from the report did anyone have any questions I'm happy to hear how good we are doing in the food service because like you had mentioned that we were in deficit which brought us State monitors because of that and this may be what like our second year without having it for us to continue to not be in debt that is an excellent that's we're doing real Qui on so I want to thank you for that report and the public can hear that as well thank you looks good any more other questions thank you thank you thank you thank you may I have a motion to accept the audit report motion motion by Mrs Alberto second by who's second second by Mrs Clemens any questions no questions V Miss White Miss Alberto
