David Pistorius – First Midstate, Inc: Explained the Working Cash Fund Bond issuance procedure. After questions and discussion the matter was tabled until the September 15,
2008 Board meeting.
There were not questions regarding Principal Hettmansberger’s written report.
Superintendent Lewis: With the creation of the tort fund account (fund 80) we will have moved over $200,000 from the education fund and placed it in the tort fund. Feels we should look at moving money from the working cash fund into the education fund and building fund. .
In looking at the State Aid formula, we will not be taking the hit originally anticipated.
School started today for the teachers. Heard many positive comments on the painting the summer crew did – they did a great job. Lost some quality staff over the summer but gained some new quality people to replace them.
Will begin a new program designed to help with teacher retention.
Has worked with a financial planner regarding the 403B Plan as the IRS has come up with new regulations. This program is no cost to the district but will be of benefit to staff that chose to participate.
