MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission/Governing Board
Ron J. Wasson, City Manager
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, CIVICS Consultingervice
DATE: April 23, 2019
SUBJECT: Proposed 2019/20 Don Soffer Aventura High School Budget
Attached is the proposed 2019/20 Budget, effective July 1, 2019 for the Don Soffer
Charter High School Fund Budget (Fund 191). This represents the first full year of
operations for the new school. The budget was built around the educational requirements
to accommodate the 9t" grade with 200 students as well as to begin to employ the
leadership staff necessary to meet the full capacity of the school as it grows. The budget
was prepared based on information and input provided by Charter Schools USA
("CSUSA") staff members from several divisions as well as the Principal. The budget has
also been reviewed by the City Manager and Finance Director. The budget amount is
$2,489,413. Since the time of the first reading of the budget, an additional $25,000 was
added to fund a part-time CAP Advisor position as requested by the City Commission at
the April Workshop Meeting. The enclosed budget has been updated to include this cost.
The following are the major highlights of the budget:
• As previously discussed, due to starting the school with 200 students and
addressing the teacher salary levels and educational, technology/digital priorities
established by the City Commission, the budget required a City subsidy of
$551,492 ($400,000 from the Granite Aventura LLC Donation and $176,492 from
the City's General Fund) to balance the budget.
• CSUSA agreed to subsidized the budget in the amount of$65,000 by not charging
the school for services normally provided and charged to their other schools. This
was done to assist in balancing the budget and further emphasized CSUSA's
partnership with the City.
• The total number of employees is 22.5 (20 full-time and 3 part-time) at a projected
cost of $1,508,293. Included in the full-time positions are 14.5 instructional staff
members.
• To implement the flexible digital learning environment designed to prepare the
students for the future, $130,000 has been budgeted for instructional licenses and
textbooks.
• Includes contracting services for 2 buses to transport students that live 2 miles or
more from the school at cost of$108,000.
2
• Capital costs associated with FF & E and computers/technology are not included
as these costs were included in the Construction Fund.
The total proposed budget for 2019/20, is $2,489,413 and is broken down into the
following categories:
• Compensation - $1,508,293 or 59.0%
• Professional Services - $282,550 or 11.1%
• Vendor Services - $261,329 or 10.2%
• Administrative Expenses - $10,310 or 0.4%
• Instructional Expenses - $183,450 or 7.2%
