July Financial Statements
Beginning balances It is important to note we are starting this year $ 3.9 million less dollars available than the prior year. The state department of education has notified me that the district will be considered once again in fiscal caution. This means we are showing a deficit not this year but the following year, Fiscal 2004. They will expect the board to adopt a management plan showing a course of action to eliminate the deficit which will be required for the five year forecast.

Revenue Real Estate revenue will be reduced slightly this year as there is no new taxable new construction for the district. Tangible taxes are down due to the public utility reduction which will be reimbursed by the state in September and March.

Expenditures Salaries are lower due to severance being paid out of a different fund now. This will help reflect true salary cost for the district. Severance paid this July was $ 246,445. Fringe benefit cost is lower since July 2001 we paid both June and July’s payments. This year June was paid on a timely basis. All other costs are higher due to start up costs of the new buildings. We have additional operating costs and materials necessary to start up these schools.
