9 *Expansion request requires $12 per pupil increase in current per pupil FY2018 Continuation/Expansion • Continuation costs: $4,077,255 - $4,273 per pupil ($405 p/p increase) • Expansion (Supplement Dental Premium) $ 104,760 --$12 p/p increase • Total Additional Funds Requested: $4,182,015 • $4,285 per pupil ($417 p/p increase) (NOTE: Through continual review and efforts to ensure appropriate staff alignment with the allotment formula, the preliminary number of positions needed for compliance with HB13, as currently written, has been reduced from 12 to 3.5, consequently reducing the needed funding from $780,000 to $180,500. The impact of this modification would reduce the per pupil increase required from the original request of$405 to $322.)

Rhonda Rath said the continuation is $3.4 million, and the expansion is $104,000, which totals $3.5 million. Commissioner Jacobs asked if a copy of the revised PowerPoint presentation could be provided to post on the County website. Commissioner Jacobs asked if the total amount spent on elementary School Resource Officers (SROs) could be identified. Rhonda Rath said $180,000, which is included in their continuation budget. Commissioner McKee asked Todd LoFrese if the CHCCS plan is to use part of its fund balance. Todd LoFrese said CHCCS BOE is recommending retaining its fund balance to address capital projects. Commissioner McKee said he never understood why the two school systems carry different fund balances, and noted that CHCCS is holding $3 million over its targeted policy amount. Todd LoFrese said the CHCCS policy states that any fund balance should ideally be used for one-time expenses, and the capital construction projects are critical, while rising construction costs are very real. He said the additional fund balance will be needed to help complete the capital construction projects.
