4.2.6 RETIREMENTS

These prices were presented in the May 2025 meeting.  The prices are in line with other districts.

On June 18, 2025, an Ed Flex Waiver will be filed with the Indiana Department of Education.  This waiver is requesting approval for our district to carry over an additional $1884.15 above the normal allowability of 15% of unspent Title I funds to the next school.  The additional funds will be applied to salaries or supplies to directly support Title 1 students in our district.

Policy Analytics will undertake an analysis of factors influencing the assessed valuation [AV] for the
South Gibson taxing districts. This analysis will include a review of historical AV trends by property
class.

Policy Analytics will develop a tax base forecast for the South Gibson taxing districts, informed by past tax base growth and current development trends. These projections will include district, unit, and fund-level analysis reporting.

Using its proprietary parcel-based property tax model, Policy Analytics will estimate the circuit breaker
implications and provide circuit breaker projections under reasonable levy and assessed value growth scenarios for South Gibson and overlapping taxing districts through 2035.

Using its calculated circuit breaker estimates, Policy Analytics will provide “net property tax revenue” projections for South Gibson for relevant years.

Policy Analytics will provide representative taxpayer analysis and illustrations for the requested
scenarios.

Policy Analytics will summarize the outcomes of the analysis into a report format and present the findings, at the requested intervals, to the school administrative leadership.

With the early Board meeting dates in June and July, as well as vacations, processing bills is challenging.  I ask permission from the Board to write checks and have them approved in the next Board meeting this summer.

Under IC 20-26-7, before a school corporation finances more than $1,000,000 to build, repair, or alter a school building, it must hold a public hearing at which explanations of the potential value of the project to the School Corporation and community are given. The hearing is open to the public to comment.

This project encompasses the construction of a multi-purpose facility, site improvements throughout the School Corporation, and the purchase of equipment and technology (collectively, the "Project").

We are required by statute to screen all K-2 students for dyslexia using an approved screener.  The IDOE provides a list of approved screeners.  We are recommending Amplify mClass with Dibels after consultation with selected district teachers.  The cost will 6,416.72 for the year.  The formative assessment grant will be released in July and we intend to offset or cover the cost of the required material from the grant.

The legislature in SEA 287 requires a resolution on board member salary.  The new statute creates a maximum salary of 10% of the lowest salaried full time teacher.  The lowest salary for a teacher will be $45,000 as set by the legislature this spring.
