Background: 2019-2020 The 2019-2020 fiscal year ended on June 30, 2020, and the majority of expenses and revenues have been posted. Final audit field work will occur the week of September 28, 2020, which will allow us to meet our deadline for the November audit presentation to the board. 2020-2021 We have just completed our first two months of the 2020-2021 fiscal year, so there is not much to report in terms of revenues and expenses at this point. The general fund expenses consist mostly of administrative, custodial, and salary expenses to date. Much of our attention is focused on COVID-19 related costs as reported last month. We continue to monitor enrollment as we approach the October 1st count. We will be meeting with the Finance Advisory Committee on September 23, 2020, for a regularly scheduled meeting.

Agenda Item: 7a

Agenda Topic: Review Learning Model Meeting Date: September 22, 2020 Contact Person: Superintendent Sicoli

Background: Josh Collins, director of communications, will provide an overview of the superintendent’s recommendation for a staged transition from distance learning to blended learning. The proposed first stage transitions students who opt-in to the blended learning scenario in kindergarten and first grade on October 12, 2020. The proposed second stage includes ECSE, pre-K, second and third grade transitioning on October 26, 2020, and grades 4-6 on November 9. The final stage would transition students in the secondary grades beginning the first day of the second trimester, December 7. Families who do not want their students to transition to blended learning will have the option to register for the Roseville Area Schools Distance Learning Academy, our 100% distance learning option. The proposed staged transition plan assumes and is contingent upon favorable health and safety conditions, such as a decrease or sustained low-levels of positive COVID-19 cases in Ramsey County, and an absence of other unforeseen negative circumstances. Should conditions improve significantly and a return to fully in-person learning becomes possible, these stages could be combined or accelerated. Mr. Collins will also provide an update on elementary registrations for blended learning and the Distance Learning Academy.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the board approve the proposed staged transition plan. XX Action Required Informational – No Board Action Requested

Agenda Item: 7d

Agenda Topic: Certification of Preliminary Levy for 2020 Pay 2021 Meeting Date: September 22, 2020 Contact Person: Shari Thompson

Background: Minnesota law requires school districts to certify their proposed property tax levy payable in 2021 to the county auditor on or before September 30, 2020. This allows the county time to calculate taxes on individual properties and to prepare the Proposed Property Tax Statements that will be mailed to property owners in November. School district levies are not discretionary; they must either be authorized by MN Statute or authorized by local voter approval. There is a lot of data and many complicated formulas used in calculating the annual levy. We are continuing to work with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and Ehlers, the district’s public financial adviser, to finalize the preliminary data. At the time of this writing, the proposed levy has yet to be finalized, specifically the Long-Term Facility Maintenance and debt service calculations. We anticipate that this will be finalized prior to the board meeting. A summary of the proposed levy calculation will be reviewed at the meeting. While most components of the levy will be materially accurate and complete, the administration will be recommending that the board levy the maximum allowed. Minnesota Statutes 275.065 allows the preliminary property tax certification for school districts to be certified as either a specific dollar amount or the maximum amount calculated by the Minnesota Department of Education. If a dollar amount is specified, the final levy approved in December can be no greater than the specific dollar amount certified in September.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the school board approve the preliminary levy payable in 2021 for fiscal year 2021-2022 at the maximum. XX Action Required Informational – No Board Action Requested
