Regular Meeting – September 13, 2004 – Held at Logan Elm High School
Superintendent’s Report A. Ohio Department of Education-School Finance and Management Service – Janet Smalley OHIO’S SCHOOL
DISTRICT FISCAL Section 3316.01 of the Ohio Revised Code requires school districts to maintain “fiscal integrity”. As a district’s financial condition deteriorates the state places the district in fiscal caution or watch. Logan Elm based on its current financial projections qualifies as a fiscal watch district. If a district becomes financially insolvent (cannot pay its bills) the district must be placed in fiscal emergency. If the November 2nd operating levy fails, Logan Elm could be placed in this classification. DISTRICTS PLACED IN FISCAL EMERGENCY: 1. receive financial assistance in the form of a two year advance on the district’s future state revenues and, 2. are governed by a five member oversight commission comprised of State Superintendent, Director of the Office of Budget and Management, two (2) business leaders who live or work in the district, and a parent with a child in the district. The commission: · Is charged with developing a financial recovery plan, which includes expenditure reductions that eliminate future year deficits and repay the solvency advance. · May assume any powers of the board of education it deems necessary to implement the recovery plan. · Can impose a reduction in force despite any language to the contrary in employee contracts. · Will not “throw out” the current union contract. · Cannot impose taxes without the approval of the community. · Cannot remove locally elected school board members. · Does not run the day-to-day operations of the school district.
