Westlake Academy Item # 2 – Review of Consent Agenda Items Town of Westlake Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen From: Mark Rosevear, Head of School Subject: Board of Trustees Workshop, April 6, 2009 Date: March 26, 2009 ITEM Hear and discuss presentation of the three IB Programmes. BACKGROUND Head of Primary, Jamie Schmitz will give a presentation on the Primary Years Programme. Head of Secondary, Robert Kai will give a presentation on the Secondary Years Programme.

FUNDING This action has no impact on the budget. Westlake Academy Memo To: President and Board of Trustees From: Debbie Piper, Finance Director Mark Rosevear, Head of School Subject: Workshop for April 6, 2009 Date: March 31, 2009 ITEM Discussion of the Quarterly Financial “Dashboard” report for the quarter ended February 28, 2009. BACKGROUND The 2nd quarter “Dashboard” report for the FY 2008-2009 is attached. Per the Board’s request, the same quarterly report format used by the Town is being implemented for the Academy. This financial report is a work in progress and as we prepare it quarterly, there will be continual tweaking. Our goal is to have a concise and easy to understand document regarding the financials of our Academy operating fund-General Fund. The remaining funds are grant funds related to federal and state funds with specific requirements as to the expenditures. They are fully funded and expensed by year-end. The Academy’s “Dashboard” is slightly different from the Town’s report. Because of the reduction in state funding, addition and re-classing of personnel, etc., an “Estimated Budget” has been included. The “Estimated Budget” has been updated with the most recent numbers available for revenues and expenditures and presents an up-to-date estimate of the FY 2008-2009 budget. The same columns presented for the “Adopted Budget” are also included on the report for the “Estimated Budget”. These columns, as well as the “Dashboard” column, have a blue column heading to help distinguish between the different budgets. A summary is presented at the bottom of the page indicating the net revenues over (under) expenditures along with the projected ending fund balance for the Adopted Budget, Estimated Budget and the Actual YTD. The operating days remaining in Fund Balance have been calculated using operating expenditures. Please note the “Analysis” is color coded and corresponds to the specific line-item on the “Dashboard” report. All “cautionary” and “critical” items are detailed with explanations of the variances. Beside each major category or function on the analysis report, you will find a number that reflects the exact variance in that function/line-item that corresponds to the percentage on the “Dashboard”. A “Program Summary” with detail of the variances between the Adopted and Estimated budgets is also attached. As can be seen from the report, the major reason for the reduction in revenues is based on our most current information related to state funds. FUNDING N/A RECOMMENDATION No action required.

Please note the “Other Local Revenue” account already has $7,482 in revenue and only $4,200 was budgeted. . WAF SALARY REIMBURSEMENT – ($2,301) • Original budget included TMRS On-Behalf payment which is a “Paper” entry only. This amount represents the “match” amount paid by the state. Total on-behalf expenditure line items are offset by a revenue on-behalf line-item. There is no affect to the bottom line. This amount should not have been included in the total reimbursement of the Foundation Director. SCRIP REVENUE - ($3,500) • No scrip program for current year FOOD/BEVERAGE - ($4,643) • The only revenue in this account will be from milk. In prior year’s we were responsible for some billing, etc. Currently, all billing is performed by a third-party. See ‘Estimated Budget” for proposed reduction of this revenue account. FOUNDATION STATE FUNDS - ($83,766) • Payments are based on 6-week records; therefore, the payments fluctuate based on the student counts. The first six payments averaged $223,101. If the State estimation of funds remains the same as was calculated on the 3-13-09 Summary of Finances, the remaining payments will be approximately $214,785 each. • The original 08-09 budget was based on 420 students at $7,003/student. A settle-up was received in November that reduced the actual 07-08 funding by $105,979. This decrease was based on the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) information received from all Districts for actual property taxes received in 07-08 based on their annual audits. This reduced the per student amount by approximately $290/student. The $105,979 will be taken from the FY 08-09 funding even though it represents 07-08 settle-up. • An additional ($116,542) adjustment was made based on the tax information received from the Districts when their PEIMS was submitted with budgeted tax revenues.
