RE: 2013/14 Charter School Fund Budget Message
Members of the City Commission:
In accordance with Article IV, Section 4.05 of the Charter of the City of Aventura, I hereby
submit the proposed Budget for the Charter School Fund for the fiscal year beginning July
2013, for your review and consideration. This budget document represents the 11th year of
operation of the Aventura City of Excellence School. Our goal in the development and
preparation of a realistic balanced budget was to provide the funding levels to maintain the
quality education services for our students.
Budget Format
The format of the budget is in accordance with guidelines adopted by the State and School
Board of Miami -Dade County, Florida and utilizes the school system's account codes as well.
The proposed budget was prepared with input from the school's administrative staff and
Charter Schools USA (CSUSA).
Significant Factors Affectinq Budget Preparation
The 2013/14 school year represents the 11th year of operations of the school. Our past has
shown that we can continue to operate the school at a high level and provide quality education
for our students, within the school -based revenues. We have also been fortunate to have a
strong business community and involved parents that participate in fund raising activities for
school improvements.
Based on proposals submitted at the State level the FTE revenues are expected to increase by
2 %. As approved last year, the departmentalization of the fourth grade will increase the school
enrollment by 12 more students this upcoming year. Over the next three years, as the
additional students move up in grade, this will increase each grade by 12 students. The
school's capacity enrollment will increase from 984 to 996 students for the 2013/14 school
year.
City of Aventura Page 1 Charter School Fund Budget
As the state shifts to the rigorous Common Core Standards, there are more students in need
of additional support. A new full -time position was included in the budget who will be a
Response to Intervention Specialist to monitor and provide instruction for at risk learners and
oversee instructional strategies for professional development for teachers.
Based on the new Agreement between the City and Charter Schools USA ( CSUSA), the City
will be assuming more responsibilities as it relates to technology management at the school.
These costs are included in the budget. In addition, based on the new Agreement, the fee for
CSUSA will be $47,000 less compared to last year's budget.
The following items represents other important highlights:
• Revenue in the amount of $100,000 from the Intersection Safety Camera
Program is included to assist in funding the contingency line item in the budget.
• Teacher salary increases will reflect a step increase based on the revised pay
plan. In addition returning teachers will be rewarded with a service award based
on years of service. The pay plan continues to exceed Miami -Dade County
Schools' current plan.
• A Math Specialist teacher position will be re- classified to (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM) Coordinator to oversee the school's efforts to
expand program offerings throughout the school. During the first year, initiatives
of the ACES STEM program will include a nine week course for all sixth grade
students that will provide an introduction to Computer Programing. Students in
grades K — 5 will participate in activities that teach engineering and design
concepts. In grades sixth through eighth students will experience interdisciplinary
project -based learning.
• A laptop classroom pilot program designed to increase achievement and
engagement of at risk readers in grades sixth to eighth is included.
• Funds have been budgeted to provide for computer replacements and expanding
the use of iPads in the classroom.
The overall budget increased by 3.0% or $228,513, largely due to the addition of one new
postion and employee salary increases. The budget includes funding for lease payments to the
Debt Service Fund to pay annual costs associated with the long term debt borrowed for the
construction of the elementary school wing. It is important that we continue to maximize the
school dollars as much as possible and maintain efficient use of budgeted funds
Summary of All Budgetary Funds
The total proposed budget for 2013/14, including all operating and capital outlay, is
$7,913,409. The majority of the budget is Personnel Services at $5,350,282. Operating

Summary
I am pleased to submit the detailed budget contained herein. The budget document and its
related funding levels represent the City's continued commitment to providing a school of
excellence for our community.
The budget contains funding levels to address the following key objectives:
• Hiring and retaining administrators and teachers who are well prepared for creating life-
long learners in their students as well as acting as role models in their own quest for
knowledge on the latest "best practices" in educational research to enhance their
teaching abilities.
• Putting into place a strong accountability system that will hold everyone at ACES
responsible for maximizing learning opportunities.
• Creating a school climate that enables students and teachers to feel they are cared for,
respected, and contributing members of ACES.
• A low staff -pupil ratio in order to enhance the development of the individual strengths of
each student.
• Continuing to use data to evaluate the efficacy of instructional programs.
• Developing a strong parent- teacher relationship.
• Maximizing the use of technology embedded in classroom instruction as well as in a lab
setting.
The preparation and formulation of this document could not have been accomplished without
the assistance and dedicated efforts of the School's Administration. All questions relating to
the budget should be referred to my attention.
Respectfully submitted,
Eric M. S roka
City Manager
City of Aventura Page 8 Charter School Fund Budget
BUDGET PROCESS
Budget Preparation /Development
1. January: Meetings are held with the Principal, school staff and City Manager to develop
Goals and to discuss issues that may impact the budget for the upcoming school year.
2. February: Preliminary Revenue projections and forecasts are developed by the City
Manager. The following steps are followed to project revenues:
• Forecast student enrollment
• The State's Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) per student allocation is
projected by the State and provided to the charter school.
• Capital Outlay funding is determined by the State based on available funding.
3. March: Personnel needs are developed based on input from the Principal and staff. The
following steps are utilized to forecast personnel:
• Review existing staffing requirements to ensure adequate coverage for student
needs and new programs.
• Review salary structure to ensure competitiveness with the school district.
• Benefits calculations such as Workers' Compensation, Life Insurance, Health
Insurance, and Pension are provided by CSUSA and developed for each qualifying
employee.
4. April: Individual expenditure line items are developed by the City Manager based on
input from the Principal and historical data. A draft of the budget document is prepared
by the City Manager. The draft is reviewed by the Principal and the Finance
Department.
5. April /May: The budget is reviewed by the School Advisory Committee. The City
Manager submits budget to the City Commission who act as the Board of Directors for
the School.
6. June: The budget is loaded into the accounting system.
7. July: Budget goes into effect.
Budget Adoption
The Charter School budget is approved via Ordinance at two public meetings scheduled for
May and June conducted by the City Commission. The adopted budget is integrated into the
accounting software system effective July 1st.
Budget Control /Monitoring
Funds appropriated in the Budget may be expended by and with the approval of the City
Manager in accordance with the provisions of the City Charter and applicable law. Funds of the
City shall be expended in accordance with the appropriations provided in the Budget and shall
constitute an appropriation of the amounts specified therein. Supplemental appropriations or the
reduction of appropriations, if any, shall be made in accordance with Section 4.07 of the City
Charter.
The Budget establishes a limitation on expenditures by department total. Said limitation requires
that the total sum allocated to the Charter School department for operating and capital expenses
may not be increased or decreased without specific authorization by a duly- enacted Ordinance
affecting such amendment or transfer. Therefore, the City Manager may authorize transfers from
City of Aventura Page 9 Charter School Fund Budget
one individual line item account to another, so long as the line item accounts are within the same
department and fund.
The "Personnel Allocation Summary" enumerates all authorized budgeted positions. However,
the City Manager may amend said authorized budgeted positions in order to address the
operating needs of the department so long as sufficient budgeted funds are available. The
budget is monitored on a monthly basis to track variances between actual and budgeted
amounts. Significant variances are investigated and monitored for corrective action. Quarterly
review meetings are held with the Principal and City Manager. Encumbrances do not constitute
expenditures or liabilities in the current year, but instead are defined as commitments related
to unperformed contracts for goods or services, which are only reported in governmental
funds.
Budget Amendment
Upon the passage and adoption of the Charter School Fund Budget for the City of Aventura, if the
City Manager determines that the department total will exceed its original appropriation, the City
Manager is authorized to prepare such Ordinances for consideration by the City Commission as
may be necessary and proper to modify any line item from the Budget.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of Accounting refers to the time period when revenues and expenditures are recognized in
the accounts and reported on the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing
of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accrual basis of
accounting is followed for the proprietary fund types. The modified accrual basis of accounting is
followed in the governmental fund types and the expendable trust funds type. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, that is, when
they are both measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. Expenditures are generally recognized under the
modified accrual accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to the general
rule are principal and interest on general long -term debt which is recognized when due.
The Charter School Fund Budget applies all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as the
following pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those
pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements: Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) statements and interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB)
opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs).
During June 1999, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement
No. 34. This statement established new accounting and financial reporting standards for state
and local governments. The Charter School Fund implemented the new financial reporting
requirements of GASB 34.
