  1. Where we have been, and where we are going Superintendent Presentation for the July 2019 Board Meeting

  2. This past year: - Strategic Planning - Begin facilities conversations with Fanning and Howey - Implemented Ohio Open Checkbook for fiscal transparency - Hired Public Records officer to handle the volume of records requests - Instituted monthly coffee talks - Reorganized administrative staff to improve efficiency and instruction - Creation of Director of Curriculum and Instruction to focus on academic growth - Creation of Dean of Students position to improve responsiveness in a more cost effective format.

  3. This past year (continued): - Named “District of Momentum” by Ohio Department of Education - Improving communication with stakeholders (newsletters, Registration Gateway, Parent Square - Added a STEM class at the JH - Managed to the plan in order to avoid deficit spending for one additional year

  4. May 2019 Levy - 6.49 mill operating levy on the May ballot. - Would have involved fiscal reductions - Allowed for 5 years of financial stability - Ballot initiative was not successful

  5. Here are the positions we have eliminated next year: 1 HS English 1 3rd grade 1 HS Math 1 4th grade 1 HS Science 1 5th grade 1 HS Business 1 6th grade 1 Nurse 1 Administrator 1 JH Music Teacher 1 Custodian/Maintenance 1 JH Physical Education teacher 1 Part-time grounds position 3 JH Teachers Added: - 3 Dean of Students positions - 2 JH elective positions to allow for some of the other reductions.

  6. Additional Reductions -Reduction to transportation -Some bus routes may be 10 minutes longer. -Will need to move the school day K-6 15 minutes later. -Reduction of DCTS (technology) contract -Decrease professional development substitutes and transportation days due to 5 waiver days. - Reductions total roughly $1 million.

  7. Teacher Negotiations - Have ratified contract with VVTA - Impacts ALL Valley View employees - Base pay freeze - Increased employee insurance contributions

  8. Increase of fees - Increase elementary and junior high class fees from $46 to $60 - Double the cost of pay to participate - High School $200 per sport - JR High $200 exploratory fee (for the year) - JR/SR High Family cap of $600 - Double preschool tuition from $100 per quarter to $100 per month - Creation of a district-wide copy fee of $40 per student to offset copy costs. - HS Advanced Placement students will pay for their own test ($82 per test) - Increase HS parking fee by $20 to offset drug testing. - These fees should generate over $100k in additional revenue

  9. Where are we going? - We continue to “band-aid” facilities without addressing the root issues: - HVAC - Safety/Security - ADA compliance - 21st century learning spaces - Our financial operational needs have not been solved despite all of the actions mentioned on previous slides. - Therefore, I propose that we continue to look for ways to continue to improve our operational efficiencies while exploring how to address our facility issues. - Would result in a combined operating levy/facility issue on the March 2020 ballot. - Allows time to gather additional feedback and determine a viable plan to move our district forward.
