Savannah Chatham Public Schools FY 21 211 Adopted Budget Revenue Source Overview The SavannahChatham Public School System is supported by revenue derived from four major sources ad valorem (property) taxes, other local receipts, and the Federal and State governments. Each of these categories consists of two or more revenue items that are accounted for separately in the school system's financial management records. The dominant sources of fiscal support for SavannahChatham are ad valorem taxes and State funds. Each source differs in funding characteristics, complexity and types. This section describes the revenue budgeted by source for FY 211. Ad Valorem Tax LOCAL TAXES This source represents the revenues derived from the application of the locally approved millage rate on the assessed valuation of total properties, less exemptions, within the school system's boundaries. The base level used in this calculation is 4 percent of full valuation, as determined each year by the 's Board of Tax Assessors on the official Tax Digest. The tax digest and millage rate are on a calendar year basis. Ad Valorem taxes are collected by the 's Tax Commissioner and existing State law permits the Tax Commissioner to retain up to 2.5 percent of the funds earmarked for the schools as reimbursement for the cost of collecting school taxes. The current rate being charged for this purpose (as established by legislative action) is 1.75 percent. For Calendar Year 21 (FY 211), the school district millage rates are at 14.131 for Maintenance and Operations (M & O). Real Estate Transfer Tax The school system receives a portion of the transfer taxes processed by the Superior Court on all real estate transactions within Chatham that occur during each calendar year. The tax rate is $1. for each $1, of transactions. The Court System retains 1. percent of collections as a collection fee. The formula used to allocate these taxes is based on current millage rates. When the millage rate is higher, a larger portion of total transfer tax revenues goes to the jurisdiction affected. The revenues received are based on transactions occurring in the previous calendar year. Page 13
Compensation for Loss of Assets OTHER LOCAL SOURCES Each year the school system receives some funds that represent restitution by various students and their parents for acts of vandalism on school properties. Also, any insurance reimbursements received by the school system from its carriers due to a property loss are posted to this revenue account. Lost/Damaged Textbooks Each year the school system receives payment from parents and students for lost and damaged textbooks since the Board's policy stipulates that such costs are a personal responsibility. Revenues received for such purposes are posted to this account. Sale of School Assets Each year the school disposes of outdated computer equipment, school furnishings, and other types of equipment. Proceeds from these transactions are recorded to this account. Tuition from Other Georgia LEAs On occasion, the school system receives a payment from another local educational agency (LEA) or public school system for tuition charges incurred on behalf of a nonresident student. When such instances occur, the school system needs an appropriate account where such funds can be posted so their purpose is segregated clearly for accounting and reporting requirements. Tuition from NonLEAs As in the case of the revenue account described above, there are occasions that occur where payment is received from governmental units or private sources located within or outside the State of Georgia. These organizations are not considered to be local educational agencies (LEAs) or public school systems. The payments represent tuition charges for services rendered on behalf of a nonresident student. When such instances occur, the school system needs an appropriate account where such funds can be posted so their purpose is segregated clearly for accounting and reporting requirements. Interest Earned The school system monitors its actual receipts and planned disbursements on a routine basis to determine its cash flow requirements. Any balances that represent excess funds on a temporary basis are considered available for investment purposes. Any interest earned on these investments is recorded to this revenue account. Page 14
Building/Transportation Rentals The board has a policy on community use of school facilities and various guidelines/fees that determine how these facilities may be used. This account captures the level of fees collected from various communityrelated users of school facilities. The amount can vary from one fiscal year to another, depending on the extent of requests received for such purposes. As in the case of school facilities, occasions may develop where communitybased groups or agencies request the use of the Board's school buses. In such instances, a contract is established and the resultant fees are posted to this revenue account. Federal Indirect Cost Reimbursement Currently, the school system receives from the various federal grants an appropriation recognized as indirect costs. Indirect costs are expenditures incurred for such important support activities as personnel recruitment, payroll preparation, vendor payments and general administrative assistance. School systems are allowed to recoup some of these expenses by applying the Stateapproved indirect cost rate to Federal grants. For FY 211, the approved Federal Indirect Cost rate is 2.56 percent (down 9.86 percent from FY 21). These charges are recorded as expenditures to the respective Special Revenue Fund and as revenues to the General Fund. Jury Duty Refunds/Other Local Income The Board recognizes jury duty by its employees as an important civic responsibility. Employees with such assignments receive their regular pay from the Board but they are obligated to relinquish any compensation for jury duty to the school system. These monies are recognized as revenues and posted to this account. Additionally, occasions may occur during any fiscal year where miscellaneous receipts may materialize for reasons that cannot be identified clearly when the general fund budget is being developed. The existence of this account, with a small appropriation, allows the staff to segregate these funds clearly for accounting and reporting requirements. Quality Basic Education (QBE) Allotment STATE REVENUE State funding is provided by the General Assembly based on student enrollment counts, expressed as fulltime equivalents, at two specific points in time. The weightedaverage of these two counts represents the basis for projecting state aid for the next school year. Additional funds are also provided by the State based on teachers' training and experience. These funds are subject to a multitude of usage restrictions and expenditure tests established in Title 2, Georgia Code. Page 15
MidTerm Adjustment Since the state funding formula used to project state aid is based on fulltime equivalent student counts that are taken in previous school years, the Georgia Department of Education (DOE) will adjust the total state aid earned as more recent counts become available. If the more recent counts result in an increase in funds needed, the DOE will request the additional funds from the General Assembly. If the student count is less than was originally calculated, the amount of state aid is currently heldharmless for the duration of the fiscal year. Equalization Grant Funding State law recognizes that there is great variation among school systems in the amount of money they can raise per student for each additional mill levied. The more additional mills levied, the more unequal becomes the educational opportunity among school systems. The state aid formula provides a method to partially deal with this problem. For each mill levied beyond the five mill local fair share up to fifteen mills, the State will provide the funds needed to make the amount raised per student equal to the amount raised per student in the 75th percentile system. As Chatham is above the 75 th percentile system, it is not eligible for equalization grant funding. Other State Grants The district receives other State grants from the Georgia Department of Education on a formula basis and may receive other grants on a competitive application basis. Examples of these types of grants outside the State QBE Allotment process include the nursing services grant, various Technical/Career Education program grants, adult education grants, food service program grants, national board certified teacher grant, pay for performance grant, reading and math program grants, various exceptional children grants, and the prekindergarten program grant. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of FEDERAL REVENUE The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 29 (ARRA) provided approximately $1 billion for education, creating a historic opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of jobs, support states and school districts, and advance reforms and improvements that will create longlasting results for our students and our nation including early learning, K12, and postsecondary education. Georgia will receive a total of about $2 billion in stimulus funds for education at all levels. Georgia s K12 public schools will receive the vast majority of that money. Entitlement Grants Page 16
The district receives a multitude of federal entitlement program grants as authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 21 (NCLB) through the Georgia Department of Education. Examples include Title I (Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged), Title II (Preparing, Training, and Recruiting High Quality Teachers and Principals), Title III (Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students), Title IV (21 st Century Schools), and Title V (Promoting Informed Parental Choice and Innovative Programs). Each Title under NCLB may include one or more separate grant programs. Accounting for each of these Title grants is done in separate special revenue funds. Federal Impact Aid This program, authorized under Title VII of the NCLB, is recognition by the Federal government that taxexempt military installations and other Federal activities located within the geographic area served by a local school system represent costs to that system since schoolaged dependents must be educated. These students either reside in Federally subsidized low rent housing properties or have one or more parents either is employed on Federal property or serving in one of the uniformed services. Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps The Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (J.R.O.T.C.) is a Federal program that exists in selected high schools as an alternate instructional program for some students. Much like similar R.O.T.C. programs found on college and university campuses, this approach offers students a view of military professions as a possible career choice. The funds contributed by the Federal government as partial financial support for this program are posted to this revenue account. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Each year the school system receives from the Federal government through Chatham a financial subsidy in recognition of its taxexempt status and the implications this has for the school system as lost revenues related to taxes on property assessments throughout the county. School Nutrition Program The district receives federal assistance to operate the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program. The district receives cash subsidies and donated commodities from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each meal served. In return, meals must meet Federal requirements, and free or reduced price meals must be offered to eligible children. Page 17
REVENUE FORECASTING Local Revenues Property Tax revenue is forecast based on trend data for collection rates which are then applied to the certified tax digests using the approved millage rates for the budget year. Regression analysis is used to project the tax digest by component in advance of receiving the certified tax digest from the Board of Assessors. Interest income is forecast based on prevailing interest rates and projected cash balances for the year by fund. Other local sources are estimated based on previous year actual receipts. State Revenues QBE Allotment earnings are projected based on actual FTE student counts using the State formulas as adjusted by the Georgia legislature for the coming fiscal year. Other state grants are forecast based on trend data and program manager estimates (when available). Federal Revenues Federal grants are based on trend data and program manager estimates (where available). Page 18
