We were sent 5195,632 for FY 2016 and 5224,7 22 f or FY 20L4. t Eligibility for 7007(al funds comes as a result of our receipt of 7003(b)(2) aid impacted status. a Congress appropriates approximately 40% of all7007 funds for these payments. The other 60% - our heavily of 7OA7 funds goes toward competitive grants. However, the decisíon to appropriate funds toward 7OA7 at all is made by Congress on an annual basis. Some years they allocate and some years they do not. a The receipt of the FY2016 funds {$195,632) led us to wonder why we have never received funds for this in the past, since we have held the heavily impacted status since 2013. When I asked this question of the lmpact Aid office, I learned that in fiscal years 20L2,2073 and 20L5 Congress directed funds to a program other than 7007 , so we would not receive funds for those fiscal years. However, we learned that we should have been paid for fiscal year 2014. Following this realization, the lmpact Aid office immediately sent us the tY201.4 voucher, resulting in another 5224,722 in unexpected funds! a These funds have very strict restrictions as to how they may be used. They include: o o o Paying off bonds through the use ofthe Debt Service Fund Putting it in the Capital Fund to reduce necessary borrowing Putting it in a Capital Reserve Fund Comet PrÍde Embrace the Power af Working Together Sch oo I - F a m i I y-Co m m u n i ty o them. We spent a lot of time analyzing this and called upon a number of consultants (State Aid Planning, Fiscal Advisors, our External Auditor and the Dept. of Education - lmpact Aid Office) for their input into this decision. Our goal is to ensure that our recommendation allows us the greatest benefit from the dollars a without resulting in a loss of state aid and without dramatically impact our tax cap, increasing our unassigned fund balance percentage or jeopardizing aidability of future projects. Based on all of these factors, our recommendation ¡s to put the funds in our Debt Service a Each of these options has pros and cons associated with Fund, which is used to pay down future debt. We make this recommendation for the following reasons: o This will not reduce potential building aid. o This will only slightly impact our tax cap calculations, but not enough to cause concern. o This recommendation ís supported and approved by our auditors. o This is an appropriate use of the funds according to the impact aid legislation o ln the event of future budget concerns, this becomes another funding area that we could look toward, as needed. o Doing so will not increase our unassigned fund balance. I recommend that the Board of Education approve a resolution to amend the 2016-2017 budget. Our intention is increase revenue code 44107 by S¿Z0,gSq and transfer to the Debt Service Fund from code A9901.960.DO.000. Thank you.

The French Club and members will pay for the cost of this trip. The students are raising money to pay for their trip through fundraisers. The cost of the trip is approximately $385.00 per student, which includes bus transportation to Montreal and back to Carthage, meals, lodging, night supervision and all activities mentioned in the attached itinerary. For every 10 students on our trip, we will bring a chaperone. I am in the process of organizing a list of chaperones. Several parents have also expressed an interest in participating.
