E.  Superintendent Report

·  FY15 Revenues and Expenditures – Overall, we had a pretty good financial year. Revenue was less than we expected. Expenditures were also less than expected. We deficit spent in the education fund. Transportation spending was low because we didn’t buy two buses that we had planned to buy. We will be looking to buy those this school year.

·  Unaudited Fund Balances – See Attached.

·  State Budget – Approved for the entire year for education. Will receive $325,000 more than last year in state aid.

·  Finance Committee Meeting – We may want to schedule a finance committee meeting prior to approving the final budget in September.

·  Trenton Elementary - Construction is continuing to go well at Trenton Elementary. We continue to be on time with no major surprises during construction.

·  IDOT Letter - IDOT will be resurfacing Route 160 from IL 161 in New Baden to 4th Street in Trenton. This project is scheduled to happen sometime during the next five years (2017-2022).

·  Retreat – Looking for a date convenient for everyone before the September board meeting.

·  1st Grade Class Size - 1st grade class at New Baden Elementary has 58 students tentatively enrolled. (It is not official until registration on August 3 and August 4.) Considering offering voluntary bussing to alleviate large class sizes. There are no aides assigned to those classrooms to assist with the large number of students. Trenton Elementary has 45 students projected for their 1st grade enrollment.

·  PARCC – No more PARCC testing for high school students. We will be giving the SAT exam to juniors and this will be funded by the state. PARCC testing will be from students K-8.
