FY2025 62% Teacher Compensation

Indiana Code 20-28-9-28 requires school corporations to expend an amount for teacher compensation that is not less than an amount equal to 62% of the state tuition support distributed to the school corporation during the state fiscal year 2025. This flowchart shows the object codes and subcategories included in the calculation. The table below reflects the teacher compensation percentage for your school corporation:

1. FY 2025 State Tuition Support $16,677,569.00

2. FY 2025 Teacher Compensation (July 2024 to June 2025) $11,402,484.76

3. FY 2025 Teacher Compensation Percentage 68.37%

Health care costs will rise 13.6% in January 2026.

We have entered audit season.  The audit of SGSC by the State Board of Accounts has started.  This is the normal schedule every two years.  We have the risk assessment for the IDOE state review for cafeteria operations currently.  This audit is also normal.

The cafeteria fund finished August with a negative fund balance of -116,780.07.  Negative student balances are down to $3,169 as of 10 September.

Transportation

A new interpretation by the State Police is making it necessary for SGSC to pay substitute drivers directly unless the contractor has their own drug pool.  Board members will begin seeing vendor payments to substitute drivers.  This money will be deducted from the contractor's pay in the same amount that we pay the substitute driver.
