FINANCIAL REPORT
Minutes
Treasurer Schumacher informed the Board that the unusual balance in Huntington Bank is due to the transfer of monies to pay the COPS payment on December 1. The monies are transferred on November 30 and the payment is made on December 1.
Grady Benefits is on board and already very active. They have met with Union Representatives to explain their role in assisting and educating staff at Pioneer, and have provided a 12-month schedule of educational events.
The two CDARS that came due in December have been rolled over into 13-week and 26-week CDARS at 2.24 and 2.29, respectively. Star Ohio is now at 2.34 and should Star Ohio remain above the CDAR interest, the January CDAR will be deposited into Star Ohio for the time being.
All real estate taxes have been received for the second payment in 2018. The last to be received were the homestead and rollback for Richland County. This was just received in November.
Treasurer Schumacher explained that the State Foundation payment for December is low due to ODE making a change in EMIS and not notifying any school districts of the reporting change. It looks as though everything has been corrected now, but not in time for the December payment.
The supplies and materials expenditure line item will be watched as it is ahead of budget at this time. Teachers have been spending more ed supply monies at the beginning of the year the normal.
Pioneer once again received the Ohio Auditor of State Award for their clean audit.
