17. Teachers Salaries and Benefits

18. Proposed Expenditures About Debt Service (Debt is Going Down!) No new debt since 2005 $61,905,199.70 in principal paid off since 2005 to date We expect to refinance the 2005 bond issues in 2015, which will be nearly 60% of all debt then, for a significant savings This budget continues our ongoing debt reduction

19. No New Construction Debt? No New Construction Debt? Zionsville Community Schools Projected enrollments through 2022-2023 school year do not exceed current capacities at the elementary and middle schools (but some rebalancing may be required in the future) The capacity of ZCHS is projected to be exceeded in 2018. The use of 2005 bond proceeds for ZCHS should add sufficient capacity for the next several years

20. Zionsville Community Schools Total Debt drops below $200 million by year-end As of 12/31/2014, debt will be just under $185 million For 2015, the 2005 Bonds outstanding to refinance will be $103,560,054.40 Summary of the immediate future:

21. Recommendation: No New Construction Debt Window The goal of the Board and Superintendent is achievable for the next several years and should be acted upon. Appropriate parameters, including a delineation of the length and termination plan for the No New Debt declaration, must be formulated. An acknowledgement of variables/caveats and unknowns that could impact our situation must be incorporated and communicated well.

33. 2014 BUDGET PRESENTATION SUMMARY: The five questions about the proposed budget: 1.How much would we actually spend and what will we spend it on? An estimated $67.6 million will be expended. 2.What revenues and resources will we have to support the needed expenditures? All combined, revenues should be about $67.8 million, which will be made up of approximately 49% State Funding, 47% Property Taxes, and 4% Other Sources. 3.Will our budget be balanced? We expect the General Fund to be balanced. CPF may need to use some reserves for phase II of the high school roof project. All other funds will be balanced. 4.What does all this mean to the taxpayer? The total property tax bill for 2014 should be the same as 2013 for nearly all homeowners and rental and agricultural property, with commercial property likely seeing a small increase. 5.What is our long-term outlook? With the operating referendum in place, our outlook is stable through 2015. However, the state funding formula is already set by law. A continuation of the current statutes will cause steady decline for ZCS at least through FY2018. Left unchanged, this will produce higher class sizes and financial instability adversely impacting our core educational mission. Our foremost financial challenge is to avert this danger to ZCS through effecting fundamental legislative change.
