memorable event for our students to end the school year Alyssa special committee reports there isn't any old business there isn't any superintendent report okay thank you first topic I want to share with everyone is the teacher Union contract are the school board and teachers union have agreed on a four-year contract that will start next school year and extend their 2025 to 2026 great job to everyone involved in this process as we were able to arrive at a degree after only a small number of bargaining sessions thanks for Union leadership and school board members that were on the negotiating teams for their collaboration and efforts I'm going to turn things for the business office to provide an update we've been working our budget and there is also some very important information that we should provide related to property taxes and delays in collection I bet we expect happening here within the next number of months so I will turn it over to a combination of Kathy mohsen and Ahmad no she didn't okay song once again for if I can repeat and compliment and although this is a team effort is disproportionately Cagney's at 4 and those will be big shoes for a market for a walk so I just wanted to make sure people know what a wonderful job she's doing the only reason I'm doing the presentation is the S Voice Voice issues but the budget there are two components to the budget you need to be aware of one is known as it's over budget and when is known as the operating budget and the big difference between total budget and operating budget as you have me construction going on so if we can isolate the construction expenditures because we realize all the bond proceeds last year so if we were to look at what our operating expenditures are going to be next and what are operating income isolating the X expanded to the building we are we were targeting we are off by about $69,300 for this size it's okay because we still have massage of your numbers we are estimating the number for Nancy special education Co-op we've made an increased significantly increasing the budget because that's what is this does Yahoo create creating the database and we are meeting in terms of how we are expecting that number could come down slightly but we have the number in the budget another one that says we don't have our insurance rates get rejected because everyone is getting her higher rate increase approximately 8% I'm hoping it's going to be less and if it's more than the $69,000 but remember typically in our school district never dipping into our fund balances every three years we were exhausted 1.2 billion dollars in touch that expectation is that we will not touch. we have  recently been conservative but not very conservative so we keep the board informed in June July and when we take action and September you want to add anything or this is in the budget process the 69000 sounds large but we're talking about a 8 million dollar budget so actually there's a lot grant money and such the final numbers that aren't in so it'll be refined every every month you'll see a lawsuit to the end take a picture of a mansion. our section is a serious matter and recently won the community and the board to know about this is a revenue would not come as expected in August read in a study done by forecast 5 p.m. for all schools in Cook County River identified as the highest impact school district in the reason we were considered the highest they look at two components Reliance on property tax for the revenue but we also have a relatively High. find some property tax the next one was Chicago public school if you are itemizing taxes and deduct taxes with most people now don't because of the turn all that stuff if the text bills don't come by and December you won't be able to take the deduction and then there's a talk that it could be as late as February and in previous years before. fear leads to run out of money in November even after getting a text though or December so we have been proactively than looking at how we going to be one day of school for the second half of this year and you're already talking and then I just only School District V man the highest and back but there'll be hundreds of school district doing the same thing and the sad part is if our small school is going to be spending anywhere from fifty to seventy-five thousand the board of the money go to the movies go to the financial advisers and all that stuff a lot of schools are going to do it and that's no fault of our own I'm just keeping the phone because we've already started the process and what do the board until we really know what the schedule is sorry for the bad news okay so thank you for the budget update and thanks to Kathy mohsen and a mud for the work that has happened not related so here's some good news related to the budget we're going to save $5,000 on our new website we are transitioning from using edlio to campus
