MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission/Governing Board
Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
FROM: David McKnight, Principal, Don Soffer Aventura High School
Jonmark Williams, Sr. Financial Analyst, Charter Schools USA
DATE: April 8, 2021
SUBJECT: Proposed 2021/2022 Don Soffer Aventura High School Budget
Attached is the proposed 2021/2022 Don Soffer Aventura High School ("DSAHS") Fund
Budget (Fund 191) which will be effective from July 1, 2021 —June 30, 2022. This represents
DSAHS' 3rd full year of operations. The budget was designed to meet the educational
requirements that accommodate 9t", 10t", and 11t" grade students, while continuing to employ
staff that possess the leadership qualities that will help DSAHS achieve full enrollment over
the next year.
Budget Implications Resulting from the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic
At the time this budget was prepared, we were and continue to be in the middle of the
Coronavirus ("COVID-19") global pandemic crisis. For more than a year, COVID-19 has
caused major disruption in international and U.S. economies and markets. Due to the fear of
further spread of the virus, many of our societal norms have been sidelined due to
quarantines, the cancellation of events and the overall reduction in business and economic
activity.
As we have seen, the impacts and responses to COVID-19 on a global, national, state and
local level continue to evolve. The situation is compounded by the fact that we have yet to
realize the short and long-term financial and societal impacts resulting from COVID-19 and
how that will ultimately affect future operating and capital budgets. Since the full financial
impact is unknown at this time and cannot be reasonably estimated as these events are still
developing, the Administration has prepared a very conservative budget by holding most
operating revenues and expenditures relatively flat year-over-year with increases to teacher
compensation where needed to maintain, attract, and retain highly qualified teachers at
competitive salary levels.
In addition, Charter Schools USA, the City Administration and City Commission continue to
aggressively evaluate and monitor the potential adverse effects that this event may have on
the School's financial position, operations, and its cash flows and will make any and all
necessary budget adjustments to both our revenues and expenditures. It is important to note
that it is unknown how long the pandemic and its effects will last. It is quite possible that as
more "actual" economic data becomes available, and if the economic outlook appears worse
than originally anticipated, additional reserve funds may need to be utilized to provide
temporary stabilization funds until affected revenues have had time to recover to their pre-
COVID-19 levels.
i
It is hopeful that as the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine continues and with the infusion
of various Federal funding programs (i.e., CARES, GEER and ESSER), School operations
will begin to stabilize and slowly return to a more "traditional" environment in the coming year.
The budget was prepared in a collaborative effort by CSUSA, including their Sr. Financial
Analyst, staff members from several different divisions, and the DSAHS Principal. In addition,
the budget has also been reviewed by the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager —
Finance and Administration. The budget will appear on first and second reading on April 15th
and May 4th, 2021, respectively.
The following are the major highlights of the 2021/2022 budget:
• The school budget is based on a projected enrollment of 620 9th, 10th and 11th grade
students.
• A City subsidy of $477,628 (consistent with the prior year estimate) from the City's
General Fund was required to balance the budget in order to maintain the following:
o Adopt a Pay Plan that allows DSAHS to maintain, attract and retain highly-
qualified teachers at competitive salary levels; and to
o Continue to meet the educational and technology/digital priorities established
by the City Commission.
• CSUSA has once again agreed to provide a subsidy to DSAHS in an effort to assist
the City in balancing the budget. In the coming year, CSUSA will increase their subsidy
from the current year amount of$154,498 to $217,521 by reducing their management
fee and by not charging DSAHS for services normally provided and charged to other
schools that they manage.
• Includes 47 full-time equivalent employees at a projected cost of $3,726,622 and is
summarized by class and category below:

• Vendor Services includes contracted pupil transportation for two (2) buses to transport
students that live two (2) miles or more from the School at a cost of $123,785.
• In order to continue implementation of the flexible digital learning environment
designed to prepare the students for the future, more than $250,000 has been
budgeted for textbooks and reference books and instructional licenses under
Instructional Expenditures.

Organization and Operations
The School is a special revenue fund found within the City's financial statements. The School
commenced operations in the City in August 2019 and for the 2021/2022 school year will offer
classes for 91h, loth, and 111h grades with a projected enrollment of 620 students. The School is
funded from public funds based on enrollment and may be eligible for grants in accordance with
state and federal guidelines, including food service and capital outlay. The School can accept
private donations and the City can incur debt for its operations.
Reporting Entity
The School operates under a charter granted by the sponsoring school district, the Miami-Dade
County Public School District (the "District"). The current charter is effective until June 30, 2034
but provides for a renewal of up to 15 years by mutual agreement of both parties. In August 2019,
the School opened its doors to 200 91h graders and in August 2020 expanded its enrollment to
415 students to include 101h grade. Grades 11 and 12 will be added with approximately 200
additional students for each grade level, in August 2021 and 2022, respectively.
The School is owned by the City and is operated through a management agreement as described
below. The School is part of the City's government and is not a separate legal entity or otherwise
organized apart from the City. The City was incorporated in November 1995 and operates under
a Commission-Manager form of government.
Management Agreement
The City previously entered into a management agreement with Charter Schools USA, Inc.
("CSUSA") to provide those services necessary to organize, manage, staff, operate and maintain
the School. The agreement expires on June 30, 2024, with a five-year renewal option by mutual
agreement of both parties and provided that the District extends the charter granted to the City.
Total management fees projected to be paid to the management company for fiscal year
2021/2022 are $279,000. The other expenditures that are reimbursed to CSUSA from the City
relate to teachers' salaries, benefits and all related operational costs.
*** The FY 2021/2022 and the FY 2020/2021 Don Soffer Aventura High School budgets include subsidies from CSUSA for Finance and Accounting
Services and Personnel Management in the amounts of$217,521 and $154,498, respectively. Should the School generate a surplus, net of
financial support from the City,then the CSUSA subsidies for both FY 2020/2021 and FY 2021/2022 shall be recouped provided the School's
budget may reasonably accommodate recoupment within a mutually agreed upon timeframe,between the City and CSUSA.

Revenue Projection Rationale
FISCAL YEAR 2021/2022
Revenues
The total revenues available for allocation in the 2021/2022 proposed budget are anticipated to
be $5,915,678. This is a net increase of $1,456,601 or 32.67% compared to the prior year's
budget primarily resulting from increasing the enrollment at DSAHS from 415 to 620 students for
the addition of the 111" grade.
Operating Revenue
FTE—totals $4,341,271 and is based on an average of$7,002/student, in line with the prior year-
end forecast. This revenue category includes the transportation reimbursement component. Net
of enrollment driven increases for the addition of the 11t" grade, this revenue category is
anticipated to remain level in comparison to the prior year-end forecast.
Capital Outlay — totals $312,347 and is projected to remain relatively level in comparison to the
year-end forecast at $503.79/student.
NSLP Revenue — totals $46,075 and represents an estimate for reimbursement by the National
School Lunch Program ("NSLP") for low-cost or free meals that are provided to students who
qualify for the federally assisted meal program. This revenue category is projected based on prior
year reimbursement rates and assumes consistent eligibility year-over-year in the student
population.
Food Services —totals $163,357 and represents an estimate for un-subsidized meals purchased
by students. This revenue category increased year-over-year in line with enrollment on a per
capita basis using the prior year student participation rate.
Transfers In from the City's General Fund — is consistent with the prior year's budget amount of
$150,000 from the City's General Fund for revenues generated from the City's Intersection Safety
Camera Program.
Grants —Although it is quite possible that the School will receive additional Grant Funding as
the Federal and State governments continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, no
impact from Grants was included in the 2021/2022 proposed operating budget. If such funding
is made available, the School may utilize such funds to further our investment in technology
and other programs that are intended to enhance the students' total learning experience and
social well-being.
Other Program Revenue — totals $425,000 in additional FTE Revenue that may be awarded to
the DSAHS from students passing the Cambridge and Advanced Placement Exams.
Other Non-Revenue
City Subsidy ** (Advance from the City's General Fund) —the 2021/2022 budget includes a City
subsidy of$477,628 which will be advanced from the City's General Fund.

A. CSUSA PAY PRACTICES
CSUSA salaries are competitive with the surrounding area schools but structured differently, with a greater emphasis on
performance-based pay. For base salaries, pay bands have been established to a minimum, midpoint, and maximum scale by
which job families can grow with merit increases.CSUSA will budget criteria, incentives,and other motivating factors to attract,
reward and retain the best employees.A salary worksheet will be used to calculate starting salaries in a fair&consistent manner.
Below are the basic criteria utilized to determine starting salaries.
Base Salary for Teachers in their initial year(10 Month)
• Positive Adjustments to initial base for Experience, Previous Outcomes,Critical Shortage Areas/Special Consideration,
if applicable and based on Budget
• Positive Adjustments to base for Education Credentials

B. PERFORMANCE BASED COMPENSATION
Research supports the notion that people are motivated through achievement,recognition,and growth opportunities.Moreover,
studies indicate that not only does this contribute to the retention of high quality staff, but also positively impacts student
achievement.Consequently,the School will adopt a performance-based compensation plan that includes:
• Merit increases for faculty and staff are determined by a robust evaluation tool based on the research of Robert
Marzano, in alignment with statutory requirements
• A"Cost of Living"adjustment"option may be included in the schedule
• Participation in various programs to provide incentive bonuses for teachers
• Performance bonuses for Administration based on Academic Performance,Enrollment/Growth and Culture metrics
• School wide performance incentive goal—provided to faculty and staff at schools that achieve predetermined school
wide academic improvement goals
• Stipends(supplements)are offered separately from base pay for Additional Academic Responsibilities,Title 1 Schools,
Critical Teacher Shortage Areas,Bottom 2 School improvement categories,etc.
C. MERIT INCREASE SCHEDULE
Final Level Instructional staff member scores are calculated by combining the Instructional Practice and Student Performance
components of the final evaluation. Please see the school's approved evaluation plan. Budget will determine the Effective
teacher's percent increase.This percent increase will fall between 50%-75%of the percent increase that Highly Effective teachers
receive per statutory requirements.
