Presentation of School Legal Counsel Request for Proposal information. I have included the original RFP and a brief one page comparison based upon the RFP questions.

The proposals contain more information than can be condensed into a single page and each firm put together some very
informative attorney and firm considerations for your review. These materials will be distributed Wednesday evening for your consideration over the next month. Formal action would be anticipated during the October board meeting after the Board has had an opportunity see these proposals. |

|
| Subject: |
IX.A. Fiscal Year 2018 Budget
|
|
| Presenter: |
Mr. Ganson
|
|
|
Description:
This is a revised budget from the tentative budget approved in August. It reflects changes in revenues and expenditures due to updated information that result in an overall deficit of
$395,263, which is $84,247 less than the $436,396 August projection. Each operating fund will incur projected deficits (see page 19 of the ISBE Budget Plan) but due to fund balances a debt reduction plan is not necessary at this time. The district is anticipated to have a total fund balance of $3,564,883 on June 30, 2018 Please refer to page 2 and page 3, lines 21, 22, and 81 for specific fund information. The Estimated Limitation of Administrative Costs is showing a decrease of 35% against last year’s information (page 27). Given the late nature of information from the state this year and revenue estimates based on last year’s numbers, it may become necessary to amend the budget in May 2018 to reflect changes occurring over the course of the year. Recommendation: Approve the revised Fiscal Year 2018 budget as presented. |

Description:
First Midstate Presentation
– Please see the attached letter from First Midstate. A representative is scheduled to be present during our meeting to address the Board on the consideration of Working Cash Bonds. The amount budgeted for this was $1.5 million but the end amount will likely vary upon Board discussion and Bond information presented. Please have any questions ready for Wednesday evening’s presentation. No action; presentation of information and question and answer format. |

| Subject: |
IX.C. Discussion of Options for District and Community Goal Setting Meetings with IASB or Other Entity
|
|
| Presenter: |
Mr. Ganson
|
|
|
Description:
I have enclosed a short brochure from IASB for discussion of Board Goal Setting activities. Other possible alternatives might include State Education consultants or University Education Department individuals to conduct such sessions. The goal would be to begin strategic planning discussions about the future needs of the District given uncertain funding and student needs.
