Dr. Susan Legutko, Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs, presented the tentative budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal year and explained how the roll-back rate is calculated.  She reported the total millage rate to be levied exceeds the roll-back rate by 2.53%, so the district will be required to advertise a tax increase.  The first public hearing on the millage rates and the tentative budget will be held on July 28, 2020.  The proposed annual budget for all funds for the 2020-2021 school year is $465,641,696.  The unassigned General Fund balance on June 30, 2020, is estimated at 5.00% with an estimated 5.00% at June 30, 2021.

Mrs. Kerekes requested addressing a plan to transition the police department expenditures to the General Fund, in order to permanently fund and maintain the police department, independent of current one mill funding being approved again in future years.
