RE: 2014/15 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
2014, for your review and consideration. This budget document represents the 12th 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 Affecting Budget Preparation
The 2014/15 school year represents the 12th year of operations of the school. Our past has
shown that we can continue to operate a high performing school providing 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 conservatively
expected to increase by 2%. The school will continue to increase enrollment by 12 students
this upcoming year. The school's capacity enrollment will increase from 996 to 1,008 students
for the 2014/15 school year.
City of Aventura Page 1 Charter School Fund Budget
The following items represents important highlights:
• Teacher salary increases will reflect a step increase based on the revised pay
plan. In addition, it continues the policy of rewarding returning teachers with a
service award based on years of service. The pay plan continues to exceed
Miami-Dade County Schools' current plan.
• An Instructional Technology Teacher has been added to oversee the account
management of all web- based instructional tools, all mobile laptop and IPad
carts. This position will provide support to teachers related to the effective use of
technology in the classroom. This support would include modeling teaching
strategies and integrated unit planning. The staff member will be responsible for
developing and implementing a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and
Math (STEAM) elective course for middle school students.
• Funds have been budgeted to provide for computer replacements and expanding
the use of laptops in the classroom.
• 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.
The overall budget increased by 3.2% or $252,274, largely due to the addition of one new
position, health insurance 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 2014/15, including all operating and capital outlay, is
$8,165,683. The majority of the budget is Personnel Services at $5,548,296. Operating
expenditures total $1,939,387. Other Uses expenditures, which primarily represent lease
payments to the Debt Service Fund to cover school construction debt payments and a
contingency, account total $536,000. Capital Outlay expenditures are $142,000. The following
chart shows a comparison of the department's budgets for the past two years. Total costs

knowledge on the latest "best practices" in educ.tional research to enhance their
teaching abilities.
• Putting into place a strong accountability system hat will hold everyone at ACES
responsible for maximizing learning opportunities.
• Creating a school climate that enables students and leachers to feel they are cared for,
respected, and contributing members of ACES.
• A low staff-pupil ratio in order to enhance the develo•ment of the individual strengths of
each student.
• Continuing to use data to evaluate the efficacy of inst uctional programs.
• Developing a strong parent-teacher relationship.
• Maximizing the use of technology embedded in class oom 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 Admi istration. All questions relating to
the budget should be referred to my attention.

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.
