From: Teresa Welty Food Service Director

Re: 2016‐2017 School Year Meal Prices

It is my recommendation that we increase the lunch and breakfast meals prices by $0.10 for the

school year 2016‐2017. With the compliance of section 205 of the Healthy, Hunger‐Free Kids

Act of 2010 we are required to make an increase in our prices we are charging for our meals.

This along with increases in our product costs this is a fair yet conservative increase.

Findlay City Schools Meals Prices

Current Price Proposed Price Elementary / Intermediate $2.50 $2.60

Secondary $2.65 $2.75

Breakfast $1.55 $1.65

Milk $0.50 $0.50

Adult Lunch $2.95 $3.10

Adult Breakfast $1.55 $1.65

Reduced Breakfast $0.30 $0.30

Reduced Lunch $0.40 $0.40

A la carte prices for 2016‐2017 school year would range from $0.25 to $3.00

with principles set forth above and the amount of payment does not exceed the estimated cost shown on the approved or ratified purchase order by 10% for all orders over $1,000.00.


The District has received a clean audit for the 2014-15 school year, as has the Findlay Digital Academy. The District received the Auditor of State Award with Distinction for its 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which is available on the District website at www.findlaycityschools.org/financial.htm along with other financial reports. The District’s current and past audits may be obtained from the Auditor of State’s website at https://ohioauditor.gov/auditsearch/Search.aspx The third quarter brought $13,973,735 in general fund real estate property taxes, which puts the fiscal year total at $25,275,862 and slightly less than last year’s total at this time. Expenditures are up nearly $3 million from this point last year, but are still within budgeted expectations. This primarily includes the Plug Smart energy efficiency plan to replace outdated equipment as well as the budgeted costs for additional staff to reduce class size ratios in the elementary buildings. The District has negotiated a two-year agreement with the teachers union which provides a 2.5% increase to the base in addition to scheduled step increases. Year 2 provides a $1,000 increase to each full-time teacher along with expected step increases. Year 2 also provides potential for a larger raise if the District’s forecast meets particular target balances. Negotiations are scheduled with custodial and maintenance staff this spring. The bus drivers’ contract expires December 2016.

(f) No delay or failure of FinalForms or Customer in exercising any right herein, and no partial or single exercise thereof shall be deemed of itself to constitute a waiver of such right or any other rights herein. Any waiver by FinalForms or Customer of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent or other breach.

AP European History

Class Description This class introduces students to the political, economic, religious, social, intellectual, and artistic trends that shaped Europe from 1450 to the present. Students should acquire knowledge of the basic chronology of events and movements from this period as well as develop the ability to analyze historical documents and express historical understanding in writing. As part of the Advanced Placement program, the course prepares students for the AP European History exam. All students are expected to take the exam.

Outline of Course Materials and Resources J. Spielvogel. Western Civilization, 9th ed. (2015) [CR1a]

1. Divides the material into four sections, which we will tackle in two parts accordingly: 1450–1648 (1450–1556, 1556–1648) 1648–1815 (1648–1750, 1750–1815) 1815–1914 (1815–1871, 1871–1914) 1914–Present (1914–1945, 1945–Present)

Each of the course historical periods receives explicit attention. 2. Explores Five Major Themes:

Interaction of Europe and the World (INT) Poverty and Prosperity (PP) Objective Knowledge and Subjective Visions (OS) States and Other Institutions of Power (SP) Individual and Society (IS)

3. Develops Nine Historical Thinking Skills (within four major categories):

I. Chronological Reasoning Historical Causation: Identifying the short term and long term causes and effects. Patterns of Continuity and Change over Time: Recognizing how continuity and change may both be present in any era. Periodization: Evaluating various models of periodization and recognizing relevant turning points.

II. Comparison and Contextualization

Comparison: Understanding the similarities and differences between different accounts and periods. Contextualization: Understanding the larger context of a document or individual’s actions.

III. Crafting Historical Arguments from Historical Evidence

Historical Argumentation: Assembling various explanations of an event and constructing interpretations of the event (especially as it applies to conflicting historical evidence).

Appropriate Use of Historical Evidence: Extracting useful evidence from sources and evaluating the features of the evidence (including point of view, format, purpose, limitations, context).

IV. Historical Interpretation and Synthesis

Interpretation: Analyzing diverse historical interpretations and understanding how historian’s interpretations change over time.

Synthesis: Creating an understanding of the past from a wide variety of evidence, while applying insights about the past to other contexts and circumstances.

Exhibit Q

FINDLAY CITY SCHOOLS FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS – April 11, 2016 REVENUES: 1.010-1.020 Property Tax - Property tax revenues are based on historical growth patterns, including scheduled updates and reappraisals. District voters passed a renewal of a 5.9 mill levy in May 2014 and changed it from a 5-year term to a continuous levy. A countywide update occurred in 2013 on which collections began in calendar year 2014. A full appraisal begins in 2016. The District’s property values are slightly increasing. Any additional tax revenue collections are due to new growth, expired tax abatements and increased delinquency collections. The District renewed a 4.9 mill operating levy for 5 years on the March 2012 ballot (TY2012-2016) with collections continuing through the end of calendar year 2017. Effective tax year 2006, the tangible personal property tax began a four-year phase out and reimbursement for the schools was promised as is noted below in line 1.050. Those are now completely phased out and any revenue in this line is due to collections from delinquent accounts. The tangible personal property tax was replaced by the new commercial activity tax (CAT), which is being phased in over a five-year period. Once fully phased in, the CAT will be a 0.26% tax on any business’ gross receipts in excess of $1 million. Businesses with gross receipts between $150,000 and $1 million will pay a minimum of $150, while businesses with receipts of less than $150,000 will not be subject to the CAT. Prior to 2004, taxpayers with less than $10,000 in personal property filed a tax return, even though they would not owe any taxes. The state would use the form to reimburse school districts for personal property tax revenues that were not collected based on the filings. The District used to receive 300K for this but now receives $0. The amounts in 1.010 and 1.020 do not anticipate the automatic passage of replacement or renewal levies. That means that when a levy is scheduled to expire, the estimated property tax revenue has a corresponding decline (e.g. FY18). Although new levies may be proposed during this time period, no new levies are anticipated. Revenues from anticipated replacement/renewal levies are on line 11.020. 1.030 Income Tax - The District has no income tax collections. 1.035-1.040 Grants-in-Aid – The HB64 biennial budget projects Findlay’s final core aid to be about 700K more in FY16 than received in FY15; and similarly $1.18 million more in FY17 than FY16. HB64 also adds costs to the district by granting additional revenue to charter and private schools. FY16 formula says FCS should get $22.41 million in basic aid but we are capped at $21.74 million and thus denied 670K in formula funding. The FY15 formula denied FCS $2.62 million due to the cap provision. Per AOS bulletin 2012-08 casino revenue is reflected in line 1.035 (277K in FY14, 275K in FY15, 270K in FY16).

1.045 State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) – The 2009 American Reinvestment & Recovery Act included money to be distributed by the State. The State used that money to help fill its gap in formula funding available to school districts. In Findlay’s case it was $1,122,641 in FY10, which when added to other state funding gets us at 99% of the FY09 funding state funding level. This money was tracked in fund #532 and was within this forecast. It replaced funding that was previously provided by the State and was built into the biennial state budget. There were no restrictions on this funding at the local level. The amount for FY11 was $1,400,997. This funding disappeared in FY12 where the Feds & State had hoped that the economy would bounce back by then so that the State could resume past levels of funding, but that did not happen. There was also $906,404 in FY12 which was one-time EdJobs federal funding that was used to retain jobs. 1.050 Property Tax Allocation – These are taxes paid by the State on behalf of taxpayers (aka rollbacks and homestead credits). Property tax allocation revenues are based on historical growth patterns, including scheduled updates and reappraisals. Passage of a 5-year 4.9 mill renewal levy in March 2012 (TY2012-2016) with collection starting calendar year 2013 and ending calendar year 2017 has been built into the projection. The amounts in 1.010 and 1.020 do not anticipate the automatic passage of a replacement or renewal levy. That means that when a levy is scheduled to expire, the estimated property tax revenue has a corresponding decline (e.g. FY18). Although new levies may be proposed during this time period, no new levies are anticipated. Revenues from anticipated replacement/renewal levies are in line 11.020. Effective tax year 2006, the tangible personal property tax began a four-year phase out. School districts were promised full replacement of this lost tax over the next few years via the school funding formula and direct payments from the State (excluding the inventory taxes that were already scheduled to be eliminated and the first half-mill on bond and emergency levies). In Findlay’s case, the direct payments from the State were to be phased out over six (6) years from 2012 through 2017 with a $1 million reduction each year and are part of line 1.050. That phase out was paused in FY14 and FY15, but the present biennial budget resumed it at 759K per year in beginning with FY16. 1.060 All Other Revenues – FY2016-2020 anticipate lower investment income due to dismal rates and a declining cash balance. However, the biggest concern is to increase our incoming open enrollment from other districts which is part of this line at about $5,900 per student. Similarly, the district needs to decrease outgoing open enrollment which sends about $5,900 per student to other districts and is reflected in line 3.03. 2.010 Proceeds from Sale of Notes - The District does not anticipate any sale of notes. 2.050 Advances-In – Revenues received by a fund as a result of a transfer or advance from another fund in anticipation of future revenue. These are monies that were advanced out in previous year(s) and returned back to general fund. Line 2.050 should match the previous year’s line 5.020.

EXPENDITURES: 3.010 Personnel Services – The amounts for salaries and benefits are based on existing negotiated agreements, which include a 2.5% base salary increase for FY17 followed by an average base increase of 1.7% in FY18. No base salary increases have been assumed for fiscal years beyond FY18. In addition to the base increases, personnel services are projected at 1.2% increases for FY16 and each year beyond to cover experience and education changes. For FY14 there was a 2.25% increase on the base followed by a 1.5% increase in FY15. FY16 includes a 1% raise for OAPSE agreements and 1.5% for teacher and non-union base increases. FY07 went down 30-35 certified positions from FY2006 and 12-15 classified positions through a combination of non-renewals, reductions-in-force (RIF’s) and attrition. FY09 reflects a gain of 6 teaching positions primarily due to the implementation of all day every day kindergarten throughout the district. FY10 includes reductions of 13 positions through a combination of attrition and RIFs, while FY11 includes reductions of 14.5 positions through attrition and 0.5 through RIF. FY12 reflects nearly 40 fewer positions (20.6 instructional, 6.5 administrative/central office, and 12.5 classified). Some were possible as a result of the middle school transition while many others were necessary due to declining enrollment. FY13 reflects 2 more transitional reductions along with 6 other reductions, while FY14 completes the personnel reductions from the new buildings with 8 fewer positions. It is the district’s goal to continue to reduce positions if it makes sense in certain situations such as declining enrollment or lack of interest in a particular course. FY16 reflects a net increase of 9 new certified positions to reduce class size while also dealing with increasing elementary enrollment. 3.020 Employees’ Retirement/Insurance Benefits – FY16 is based on July 2015 total renewal quote of $6.3 million from Anthem, and 10.0%, 9.5%, 9.0%, and 8.5% increases respectively in the next four years. There is also 523K assumed for Dental/Vision costs and 17K for life insurance. Line 3.020 also includes approximately $178,000 for professional dues reimbursements, $67,000 for tuition reimbursements, and $90,000 for STRS/SERS 14% contributions for Renhill employees. The remaining benefits (e.g. retirement, Medicare, workers compensation, and unemployment) in line 3.020 are based on 16% of salaries in line 3.010. Line 3.020 reflects a larger employee share of 20% since mid-FY12 which is covered by higher employee premiums and/or higher deductibles depending on which plan the employee chooses. Starting in FY12 spouses were required to move off of the FCS plan if their employer provided affordable coverage. 3.030-3.040 Purchased Service and Supplies and Materials – Purchased services, which include contracted substitutes, utilities, repairs, leases, and tuition payments, are forecast to increase by an overall 5% per year in FY16 through FY19. FY15 and FY16 show larger increases due to HB264 energy efficiency purchases via Plug Smart. Savings from expiring freshman wing lease began in FY15. This line includes tuition paid to charter schools for which the Findlay Learning Center is helping to reduce since FY16. Supplies are forecast to remain the same. 3.050 Capital Outlay – FY16 and FY17 split 600K for dark fiber technology project. Fiscal years FY18 and beyond presumes fewer general fund district projects than in the past.

4.020 Principal Notes – The District had one remaining interest free asbestos loan from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Tax revenues posted in the Debt Service Fund cover the scheduled loan payments. The remaining requirement to amortize asbestos loan debt outstanding as of 6/30/12 was $30,698 in 2013 which is now completely paid. 4.300 Other Objects – This line is based on historical patterns and county auditor fees, which increase as collections increase. 5.010 Operating Transfer-Out –$75,000 per year has been transferred to fund 432 to cover EMIS costs until that grew to $80,000 in FY15 and then stopped in FY16. Another $10,000 is budgeted for miscellaneous transfers. 5.020 Advances-Out – Advances are transactions, which withdraw money from one fund to another, in anticipation of future revenue. At most, for the fiscal years 2016-2020, the District anticipates a need to annually advance funds to the Food Service Fund, 006-9060, in the amount of $50,000; the Permanent Improvement fund, 003-9030, in the amount of $90,000 and to miscellaneous state and federal funds in the amount of $150,000 to cover cash flow needs. 15K was advanced to fund 506 in FY15 and returned in FY16. RESERVATION OF FUND BALANCE: 9.010 Textbooks and Instructional Materials – The District meets the annual spending requirement for SB345 set-asides. If the District spends monies in the textbook and instructional material set-aside in excess of the required amount for that year, the Board may deduct the excess amount of money from the required deposit in future fiscal years. This requirement was repealed by HB 30 in 2011. 9.020 Capital Improvements - The district budget meets the annual spending requirement for SB345 set-asides. If the District spends monies in the Capital Improvements set-aside in excess of the required amount for that year, the Board may NOT deduct the excess amount of money from the required deposit in future fiscal years. 9.070 Bus Purchases - The District annually spends the allocations provided in these funds. While such subsidies used to be received every year, they stopped many years ago, and there is no expectation that such subsidies will be received in the future based on the current state budget. 11.020 Property Tax Renewal – The District will ask the voters to renew or replace a 5-year 4.9 mill levy that previously passed in March 2012 (TY2012-2016) with collection starting calendar year 2013 and ending calendar year 2017. It will need voter approval by the end of calendar year 2017. FLOOD NOTES: Hancock County sustained major flood damage from large rainfalls at the end of August 2007. The Findlay City Schools had 8 properties that were affected: Central, Washington, Lincoln, Wilson Vance, Northview, and Findlay High School, as well as the Transportation garage and offices, and the softball shed at FHS. Repair and restoration and mitigation exceeded $3.5 million. The bulk of the damage (over $3.3 million) occurred at Central Middle School where the district’s central offices and records were located in the basement. On August 27, 2007, the Board appropriated $1.8 million for immediate needs to help clean up and replace what was damaged in the flood. The District qualified for public assistance from FEMA. FEMA covered 75% of the costs, while the State covered about 12.5% and the District covered the remainder.
