2 PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Board Member Mr. Corby led the Board and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS Superintendent Healy discussed the Toms River Regional Schools District State School Aid cut of $2,357,955 for the School Budget. Superintendent Healy stated after reviewing the July 13, 2018 guidance presented by the NJ Department of Education regarding the State Aid cut of $2,357,955 for our budget, our district has 5 options: 1. we can utilize fund balance/surplus, 2. use emergency reserve, 3. use maintenance reserve, 4. we can reduce appropriations, 5. or a combination of any of the above. Given that we received notification on July 13, 2018, and given the NJ Department of Education approval of our final budget on April 30, 2018, we have already hired our staff for 18-19, have already purchased textbooks, have purchased the 15 buses we budgeted for, have renewed all insurances, etc, and given that we have continued to tighten all budget areas over the past several budgets, we must recommend that we utilize fund balance and maintenance reserve funds to address the State Aid reduction as follows: 1. We recommend utilizing $1,157,955 MORE of unreserved fund balance. This will bring our fund balance utilized in up to $2,957,955 (DOE Revenue Budget Line #580) and will leave our unreserved fund balance well below 2% (prior to closing out ) 2. We recommend utilizing $1,200,000 MORE of our maintenance reserve funds. This will bring our maintenance reserve utilized in up to $2,600,000 (DOE Revenue Budget Line #625), which will leave our maintenance reserve balance at approximately $2.1 million (prior to closing out ) In combination, the above approach adjusts our school budget for the $2,357,955 State Aid reduction as required. Unfortunately, this reduction creates another multi-million dollar revenue hole and puts us even further behind as we look towards the budget. With the proposed State Aid cuts for , we project that several million dollars (likely in excess of $5 million) will be required to be cut in developing the budget. COMMITTEE REPORTS/BOARD COMMENTS Budget & Finance Committee Mr. Horgan The Budget and Finance Committee of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools met on July 11, 2018 at 1144 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, New Jersey in Conference Room A at 6:30 P.M. Committee Chair, Mike Horgan, read the following opening statement: 2

3 Good evening, welcome to the Budget and Finance Committee Meeting of the Board of Education of the Toms River Regional Schools. Notice of this meeting was published in the Asbury Park Press on July 7, 2018 which constituted at least 48 hours notice as required by law under the Open Public Meetings Act. In addition to the Committee Chair, in attendance were Board members- Janet Bell, Russ Corby, Gigi Esparza, Dan Leonard, Joe Nardini, Ginny Rhine, Michele Williams, Superintendent- Dave Healy, Assistant Superintendents- Debra McKenna and Jim Ricotta, Business Administrator- Bill Doering and Board Secretary- Wendy Saxton. The meeting was open to the public and an opportunity for public comment was provided. As we do every month, the committee reviewed the expenditures listed in the Purchasing Agenda, which was posted in the Board s Google Docs folder prior to the Budget and Finance Committee meeting. The Purchasing Agenda also included items of zero value, bids and resolutions. Questions were asked by various individual board members, which were answered by Mr. Doering and other members of the administration. The Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount of $3,068, for the school year and $50,953, for the year. The Budget & Finance Committee is recommending the approval of the Purchasing Agenda by the full Board. The committee then reviewed the District lease, sponsorship and other rental agreements and these are also being recommended for board approval. Given the timing for booking and selling tickets for shows, a process was discussed and agreed to whereby the Superintendent and Business Administrator could give preliminary approval for shows with subsequent formal approval by the Board. We are currently awaiting final amounts and guidance from the NJ Department of Education regarding the school aid reductions we are expecting based on the final State budget. Given the serious financial and operational implications, the district continues to work closely with local legislators regarding proposed legislation to mitigate or eliminate these aid reductions. The committee then discussed the possibility of a Board resolution to support such legislation. The Committee was informed that based on the price equity set-point calculations, school lunch and breakfast prices will see a slight increase for , including high school lunch and breakfast going up by 25 cents and elementary lunch and breakfast going up by 10 cents. It was noted that the district meal prices are still 22% to 33% below the maximum prices allowed by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. Finally, the committee was informed that for the fourth consecutive year, we have received the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for , from the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO). Our Comprehensive Annual Financial Report went through a rigorous review and evaluation process in receiving this award, as our financial report must adhere to a 36-page checklist of required financial statement reporting requirements and indicators. It was noted by ASBO that such an award demonstrates great transparency and credibility in the financial 3
