Recommendation to Adopt the FY19 Annual Budget TO: NCSD Board of Trustees FROM: NCSD Board Budget Committee DATE: July 11, 2018 RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the Board of Trustees adopt the proposed Fiscal Year 2018-19 Annual Budget. RATIONALE: Development of the budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19 has been accomplished through the budget process established by the Board of Trustees. As required by Wyoming State Statute, a Public Hearing will be held July 11, 2018 at 7:30 p.m., concerning the budget. The hearing will be held in the Board Room at 970 North Glenn Road, Casper, Wyoming. Following the hearing, we will recommend that the budget resolution, along with the revenue and expenditure plans presented in the budget, be approved. The Board of Trustees oversees the annual budget development process through the Board Budget Committee. The FY19 budget development process began in September 2017 and was accomplished in four phases:

• Phase I - Preparation (September 2017- April 2018) – During this phase the BBC and staff prepare for the development of the Conceptual Budget Plan. This includes monitoring state action that will impact funding and analysis of district plans with budgetary impact.

• Phase II – Conceptual Budget Plan (Tentative Budget) (March 2018 – May 2018) - During this phase Conceptual Budget Plan is developed, reviewed and revised by the BBC. The plan will include a three-year budget reduction component.

• Phase III – Implementation (May 2018 – June 2018) - During this phase the Conceptual Budget Plan is implemented resulting in a detail budget for the next fiscal year.

• Phase IV – Adoption (June 2018 – July 2018) - During this phase the final draft of the fiscal budget is reviewed, revised and adopted.

The FY19 budget has been developed in alignment to the following priorities:

• Maintain a focus on student learning and the District’s strategic goals, funding essential functions and services • Create budget reduction strategies through a comprehensive study of the District budget • Reduce positions through attrition and reassignment • Achieve operational efficiencies that create opportunities for budget reductions • Maintain a competitive compensation package • Maintain the improved District facilities – prioritize funding to avoid the effects of deferred maintenance • Complete construction projects within the budgets and funding available

The development process was designed to consider the following major components:

• Action of the Wyoming State Legislature – 2017 and 2018 Sessions • Revenue Projections for Fiscal Year 2018-19 • Student Enrollment for Fiscal Year 2018-19 • Staffing for Fiscal Year 2018-19 • Budget Reduction Strategies • Compact Issues Committee – Compensation/Salary & Benefits • School & Division Budget Allocations • District Budgets • Grants and Operations Other than General Fund

Budget Message The Natrona County School District #1(NCSD) is pleased to present to the Board of Trustees, the 2018-19 budget. The budget sets the financial framework for the district to meet its strategic goals. The district is required by state statute to adopt an annual budget that balances estimated expenditures with estimated funds available. The budget is required to be prepared on the cash basis of accounting, under which revenues are recognized when received and expenditures are recognized when paid. This budget has been prepared in accordance with these requirements.

Fiscal Year 2018-19 Budget Approach Since 2015, the State of Wyoming has been faced with a significant shortfall to K-12 education funding due to economic downturn. As a result, the State Legislature has begun to implement reductions in funding. In addition to reduced state funding, NCSD is in a period of declining enrollment, which results in a decrease in revenue. Over the past several years, NCSD has proactively taken steps towards reducing the operating budget to accommodate known and anticipated reduced funding. The plan has been to stay ahead of anticipated revenue reductions in an effort to lessen the impact on students, families and employees. To guide our efforts, the following priorities have been established:

1. Maintain a focus on student learning and the District’s strategic goals, funding essential functions and services 2. Create budget reduction strategies through a comprehensive study of the District budget 3. Reduce positions through attrition and reassignment 4. Achieve operational efficiencies that create opportunities for budget reductions 5. Maintain a competitive compensation package 6. Maintain the improved District facilities – prioritize funding to avoid the effects of deferred maintenance 7. Complete construction projects within the budgets and funding available

The FY19 Budget has been created in alignment with these priorities.

Budget Development Process The annual budget development process is governed by Board Policy 3100 which requires an open and inclusive process. This process is facilitated by the Board Budget Committee (BBC) which is made up of members of the Board of Trustees and employee and parent stakeholders. The annual budget development process contains 4 major phases.

• Phase I - Preparation (September 2017- April 2018) – During this phase the BBC and staff prepare for the development of the Conceptual Budget Plan. This includes monitoring state action that will impact funding and analysis of district plans with budgetary impact.

• Phase II – Conceptual Budget Plan (Tentative Budget) (March 2018 – May 2018) - During this phase Conceptual Budget Plan is developed, reviewed and revised by the BBC. The plan will include a three-year budget reduction component.

• Phase III – Implementation (May 2018 – June 2018) - During this phase the Conceptual Budget Plan is implemented resulting in a detail budget for the next fiscal year.

• Phase IV – Adoption (June 2018 – July 2018) - During this phase the final draft of the fiscal budget is reviewed, revised and adopted.

Budget Development Activities 1. Project and Monitor Student enrollment and average daily membership (ADM) 2. Revenue projections – Each year, the WDE releases a budget version of the Wyoming K-12 Funding Model which

includes any legislative modification and updates to the cost drivers of the model (i.e. health insurance rate increase). NCSD uses this budget version to project state revenue for the coming fiscal year.

3. Develop General Fund Personnel Budgets/Staffing Plan 4. Develop General Fund Non-Personnel Budgets

a. GF - School Allocations b. GF - Division Allocations c. GF - District Programs d. GF - District Budgets e. GF - Board Reserves and Priorities

5. Develop Budgets for Other Funds a. Special Revenue b. Capital Construction c. Food Service

6. Prepare Final Budget Document for Review and Adoption

State Funding Changes for FY19 The Wyoming State Legislature concluded the 2018 Budget Session having passed laws that affect K-12 school finance. Reductions were made in the following areas:

• Average Daily Membership (ADM) adjustment of the 3-year rolling average for declining ADM from the school level to the district level. This would result in a reduction in funding.

• Reduction to the funding level for groundskeepers in the model. • ADM and Groundskeeper reductions were spread over 3 years (⅓ reduction each year). • Limiting total statewide special education reimbursements for school years 2019-20 and 2020-21 to not exceed

the amount to be reimbursed in school year 2018-19. • Limiting transportation funding to the average of expenditures from FY’s 2013-14, 2014-15, & 2015-16. • Repealed student assessment funding ($25/student).

In addition, in continuation of laws passed during the 2017 General Session, funding for Instructional Facilitators will decrease by 50% for fiscal year 2019. Since the reductions were made to the funding model, the reductions to funding are ongoing. Estimated impact of the funding changes are profiled in the table below:

Projected Known Funding Reductions for FY19, FY20, FY21 Reduction Item FY19 FY20 FY21

50% IF reduction from 2017 legislation $ 1,205,875 $ 1,205,875 $ 1,205,875 Transportation Decrease 136,283 136,283 136,283 Assessment Funding Decrease 318,990 318,990 318,990 ADM Change/Groundskeeper Reduction 457,238 914,477 1,371,715 Total Reduction $ 2,118,386 $ 2,575,624 $ 3,032,863 *FY20 and FY21 are known reductions only. Future additional reductions are anticipated.

In addition to funding revisions, the legislature passed a bill that increases Wyoming Retirement contributions for both the employee and employer by 1% over 4 years (.25% per year). Employees will see the increased deduction from their paychecks beginning September 2018. The employer increase will be funded by the State via monthly reimbursement. The funding model itself was left unchanged. Therefore, NCSD still receives increased funding for health insurance increases. For FY19, NCSD will receive $16,763.93 per model driven FTE. Up from $15,105.07 in FY18. This generates about $1.8 million additional revenue for FY19. It’s important to note that the budget will realize a corresponding increase in health insurance expense that will offset the increase to revenue.

Student Average Daily Membership The State of Wyoming Funding Model is based primarily on Student Average Daily Membership (ADM). ADM is a measurement of student attendance. The mathematical calculation for ADM is described in the WDE’s Administrative Rules, Chapter 8. Increased ADM results in increased funding. Conversely, a decline in ADM results in decreased in state funding. NCSD continues to experience declining ADM and the decline is projected to continue.

Significant Budget Changes and Remarks Ongoing Reductions and One-Time Savings Reductions to funding due to state actions or declining enrollment are ongoing in nature. In other words, there is no expectation for the funding to return to the district in the near future. Therefore, reductions to district budgets must also be ongoing in nature. Due to proactive measures taken to reduce operating budgets in anticipation of reduced state funding, NCSD has been able to stay ahead of legislative funding reductions. Since NCSD started reducing expenses well in advance of the reduced state funding and continues to reduce in an ongoing capacity, savings have been realized in the current fiscal budget. These savings will be evident in a larger ending fund balance than historically seen. These savings will be budgeted in the Board Priority and Reserves Budget profiled for Board Contingencies. The budget savings are one-time dollars that may be used in a one-time capacity. Reductions in Positions Since 2015, over 100 positions have been eliminated. Theses vacancies were created through resignations and retirements and the district has been able to avoid involuntary reductions in force. Proactive diligence to review positions as they are vacated has allowed the district to remain ahead of funding reductions. In FY18, NCSD offered a one-time enhanced early retirement notification incentive to assist with the planning and reduction of positions through FY20. The knowledge of future retirements allows us to remain confident that we will achieve reduction goals as planned through FY20 in order to remain ahead of future funding reductions. School Closures In FY18, NCSD’s Board of Trustees elected to close 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The decision was made based on facility planning guidelines established in 2004, excess capacity, building conditions, and anticipated reduced state funding. NCSD anticipates an overall budget savings of approximately $2.5 million as a result of these closures. Increased School Security NCSD is committed to providing safe and secure learning environments for students. Included in the FY19 budget is funding for additional School Response Officers (SRO’s). Under the current agreement, the City of Casper provides 2 SRO’s, the enhanced agreement will increase that number to 6 officers. Health Insurance Increase In FY18, the State Employee Group Insurance premium rates increase by about 10.8%. For FY19, the budget for health insurance has been raised to accommodate this increased cost.

General Fund The general fund is the main operating fund of the district. It contains all of the financial resources of the district, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The general fund budget must balance anticipated revenues with appropriations.

General Fund Revenue The General Fund receives revenue primarily from the State of Wyoming and Local property taxes.

State Revenue The State of Wyoming provides the largest source of revenue to the district through the Wyoming School Foundation Block Grant Model (Attachment A). This model was developed by the Wyoming Legislature and is periodically reviewed and revised through what’s referred to as recalibration. The model is an evidence-based or cost-based model. The model determines a guaranteed level of funding for each school district. The revenues collected locally are subtracted from the guarantee to establish the state provided foundation entitlement. If the district collects less than the estimated local taxes in a given fiscal year, the state will make up the difference in what’s called the Tax Shortfall Grant. If the district collects more than estimated, the difference is returned to the state through an adjustment to subsequent funding. The basic functioning of the model can be explained by the following chart provided by the Legislative Service Office:

In addition to the model-driven funding, the district is reimbursed for actual costs of employer-paid increases to the Wyoming Retirement System contribution rates.

Local Revenue The majority of local revenue received by the district is based on the assessed property values and levied taxes in the county. The school district is authorized by state statute to levy a 25 mill tax on the property within the boundaries of the school district and its share of a 6 mill tax on the properties in within the boundaries of the county. For Natrona County School district, the boundaries of the school district and the county are the same. NCSD receives the following types of local revenue that are counted as local resources in the block grant funding model:

• 25 Mill School District Levy: Revenue generated from 25 mill tax on properties within the boundaries of the school district.

• 6 Mill Countywide Levy: Revenue generated from 6 mill tax on property within the boundaries of the county. • Railroad Car Company Taxes: The district's share of railroad car company taxes, distributed in the same manner

as property taxes. • Motor Vehicle Taxes: Revenue generated from motor vehicle licensing and registration, distributed in the same

manner as property taxes. • Delinquent Tax Penalty and Interest: The district's share of interest and penalties on delinquent taxes, distributed

in the same manner as property taxes. • Taylor Grazing Act Funds: The district's share of Taylor Grazing Act funds. • Fines and Forfeitures: The district's share of fines and forfeitures.

NCSD also receives the following types of local revenue not counted as local resources for purposes of the funding model entitlement calculation:

• Interest Income • Indirect Costs – Cost of managing federal funds that may be reimbursed to General Fund as an expense to a grant. • Facility Rents – Community building usage fees and Employee Housing Rents • Private Donations • Student Fees or Summer School Tuition • Sale of Assets acquired prior to 1997

General Fund Revenue Analysis In 2017, the State funding model was modified to include the state categorical grant for Instructional Facilitators and the Wyoming Bridges (Summer School/Extended Day) in the block grant. The funding change was effective in FY18. This change increases the General Fund Revenue for FY18 as compared to previous fiscal years, where this funding was accounted for in the Special Revenue Fund. In addition, NCSD received a Tax Shortfall Grant in FY18 for approximately $2.1 million for a shortage of taxes collected in FY17. In addition, NCSD collected $1.3 million more in taxes than anticipated in FY18 (the excess tax collected will be recovered by the State of Wyoming as an adjustment to FY19 funding). The total effect of these factors appears as if NCSD received a $6 million increase in General Fund Revenue. In actuality, NCSD realized a loss in revenue of $4.5 million for FY18 after adjusting for taxes and the changes in IF and Wyoming Bridges Funding. The table and charts below illustrates this:

General Fund Revenue Projections NCSD projects revenue 3 years beyond the current fiscal year in an effort to remain ahead of any funding reductions. Revenue is projected to decrease by approximately $5.6 million from FY18 to FY19. The reductions can be broken down as follows (approximated):

• $4.4 million in tax adjustments for FY18 ($2.1 million tax shortfall and $1.3 tax excess) • $300,000 in State funding reductions due to legislative action and declining ADM • $900,000 less local revenue anticipated in FY19

In FY20 and FY21, projections include known legislative reductions and a decrease of 90 ADM per year.

(a) These funds are earmarked for future use, as approved by the Board of Trustees, for educational needs, as a contingency for known and anticipated future reductions in revenues, unfunded facility improvements, or significant increases in expenditures in District operations and/or capital construction. One-Time dollars represent the unspent, unobligated funds at the end of the most recent fiscal year. One-time funds can only be spent once. On-going dollars represent a portion of on-going revenue that is expected to continue into future fiscal years. For the FY19 budget, Ongoing board priority funds are reduced by the $1.3 million reduction for excess taxes received in FY18. One-time dollars are increased by this same $1.3 million. The $1.3 million reduction to revenue is a one-time reduction so it is expected to reverse after FY19.

Special Revenue Funds The District’s Special Revenue Funds are utilized to account for revenues derived from earmarked sources and the related expenditures. Included are revenues from program grants with the corresponding program expenditures, the state major maintenance grant and the Recreational Mill Levy and corresponding expenditures.

Federal Program Grants The Federal government provides support for specific programs in the District. Examples of Federal funds the district receives are as follows:

• Title I – Funds are awarded to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.

• Title ID (Neglected and Delinquent) – Funds are awarded to LEAs with high proportions of youths in local correctional facilities to support dropout prevention programs for at-risk youths.

• Title IIA Improving Teacher Quality – Funds are awarded to LEA’s to increase academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. Funds are used to recruit and retain highly qualified teachers and principals and provide professional development opportunities.

• Title III-English Language Learners & Immigrant – Funds are provided to LEA’s to help ensure that students with Limited English Proficiency meet the same high standards that all children are expected to achieve

• Title VI-B (IDEA) – Funds are awarded to LEAs to help them ensure that children with disabilities, including children aged three through five, have access to a free appropriate public education to meet each child’s unique needs and prepare each child for further education, employment, and independent living.

• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) - Funds are awarded to provide preschool programs for economically disadvantaged students.

• Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Ed Grant – Funds are awarded to LEAs to support high-quality career and technical education programs.

• McKinney Vento (Homeless) – Funds are awarded to LEA’s to help ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children and youth.

State Program Grants The State of Wyoming grants NCSD certain resources for specific purposes.

• National Board Certified Teacher Grant – Wyoming school districts are required to pay a $4,000 bonus salary payment to each full-time nationally board certified teacher that holds a certificate from the national board for professional teaching standards. The Wyoming Department of Education reimburses each school district for these payments.

• Distance Education Grant – Provides funding to develop and maintain virtual education programs in Wyoming. • Career and Technical Ed Demonstration Grant – Provides funding for expenses associated with the planning,

development and implementation of a new or expansion of existing high school CTE programs. • Instructional Facilitator and Wyoming Bridges Grants – as noted for General Fund, IF and Bridges funding were

included in the state funding model and is included in the general fund beginning in FY18.

Recreational Mill Levy By state statute, Natrona County levies a 1 mill tax on the assessed property valuation for recreational facilities and systems of public recreation. The levied taxes are managed by the Natrona County Recreation Joint Powers Board. 70% of the levied taxes are assigned to the school district for recreational purposes and 30% are managed by the Board to bestow grants on community organizations for recreational services, facilities and activities.

State Major Maintenance Grant Major Maintenance is defined as the repair or replacement of complete or major portions of school building and facility systems at irregular intervals which is required to continue the use of the building or facility at its original capacity for its original intended use. The funding cannot be used for new construction or a project that increases facility square footage. The district prepares an annual major maintenance plan through the Board Infrastructure Committee. Each project in the annual plan is proposed to the Wyoming School Facilities Department (SFD). The SFD must approve each project before proceeding. School districts receive annual funding from the state for major maintenance. The amount is derived from a formula that is partially based on the replacement value of school facilities in each district, as well as each district's ADM (Average Daily Membership). FY 2019 major maintenance funding is projected to be $8,704,000.

Capital Projects Fund This fund is used to account for capital construction projects funded by the State of Wyoming Capital Construction Grant and transfers from General Fund.

Beginning in 2011-12 NCSD started to realize significant growth in student ADM. At this time, the State of Wyoming recognized NCSD’s need to increase school capacity to accommodate the increased ADM. During this time, the State of Wyoming funded and approved the new construction and/or major remodel of 4 elementary schools and 4 high school campuses. Over the past 8 fiscal years, NCSD has facilitated over $350 million in capital projects. The below charts show the relationship between Capital Construction dollars spent against Funding ADM:

No new capital projects are recommended in the FY19 budget. Recommendation and funding of new capital projects have been intentionally slowed in light of economic downturn, decline in student enrollment and the corresponding reduction in operational funding. Should circumstances warrant it, the reserves in this fund are available, at Board direction, to meet future operational needs.

The Board Infrastructure Committee continues to analyze the district capital needs and funding available. They are studying the establishment of a special capital reserve to fund ongoing infrastructure maintenance, repair, and replacement.

Food Service Fund The Food Service fund is a type of proprietary or “enterprise” fund which is used to account for programs in which a fee is charged for goods and services. This fund accounts for our district Breakfast and Lunch program.

Revenue Analysis The Food Service Fund received revenue from 3 main sources:

• Local Revenue – Meal Sales • Federal Revenue – National School Lunch Program Grant which provides funds to help provide meals to children

who qualify for Free or Reduced lunch prices. • Transfer from General Fund – The revenue received from meal sales and the Federal grant are not sufficient to

cover all expenses. Thus, General Fund Subsidizes the Food Service Fund. In 2016-17, NCSD implemented a food charging policy which limited the amount which students could charge to their NCSD lunch account. In addition, efforts were undertaken to collect on overdue accounts. This reduced the amount of outstanding debt owed to the Food Service program and increased revenue. Moving forward, NCSD has seen a decrease in lunch participation due primarily to decreased enrollment. As a result, revenues have decreased and are projected to continue to decrease.
