17. Fund Balance Historical/Projected

18. Fund Balance Coverage Historical/Projected

19. Financial Forecast: Fiscal Year 2014 • ALSDE Foundation Funding: • Education Trust Fund appropriations (~$50M) diverted to fund private school transfer credits (Alabama Accountability Act). • While HCS saw a modest increase in pupil enrollment, there is a decrease in the number funded teaching units (5.7 units, loss of $355,000 in funding). • Although Foundation revenues allocated for fringe benefits and other current expenses increased by $1.5M, so did the required 10 Mill Foundation match (paid from local funds).

20. Financial Forecast: Fiscal Year 2014 (cont’d) • ALSDE Foundation Funding (continued): • Meaning…the cost burden for the Foundation units’ salary increase, which will take effect in October 2012, and the 1.73% increase in TRSA match will fall on the District. Total estimated cost of the changes in the Foundation Program to Huntsville City Schools in Fiscal Year 2014 is approximately $2M.

21. Financial Forecast: Fiscal Year 2014 (cont’d) • USDE Federal Funding: • Reduction(s) in 2014 Federal Funding for HCS • Title I, Part A $ 380,000 • Title I, Part D $ 127,000 • Title I, School Improvement $ 350,000 • Title II, Part A $ 553,000 • IDEA, Special Education $ 180,000 • Total Reduction(s) $ 1,590,000

22. Financial Forecast: Fiscal Year 2014 (cont’d) • Huntsville City/Madison County Funding: • Based on current projections, we anticipate sustaining a General Fund balance between 105% and 110% of the required balance through fiscal year 2015 (barring proration or unanticipated decline in the local economy). • No solid projection beyond 2015 at this point. • Requires that we exercise caution when considering new/future recurring expenditures not otherwise included in this budget. • Regarding Capital Projects : • Anticipate that long term rates on municipal debt are likely to increase in the near term. • Will recommend selling of final increment of debt to complete the capital plan this Fall. • At current rates, HCS has sufficient capacity to service the cost of additional capital.
