MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission/Governing Board
Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
FROM: Ana Melhuish, Principal, Aventura City of Excellence School
Ayanna Jeffrey, Sr. Accounting Analyst, Charter Schools USA
DATE: June 7, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed 2024/2025 Aventura City of Excellence School Budget Revised
In accordance with Article IV, Section 4.05 of the City of Aventura (the "City") Charter, I
hereby submit the proposed Budget for the Charter School Fund for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2024, for your review and consideration. This budget document
represents the Aventura City of Excellence School's (the "School") 22nd year of operations.
The preparation and formulation of this document was prepared in collaborative effort by
CSUSA, including their Sr. Accounting Analyst, staff members from several different
divisions, and the ACES Principal. In addition, the budget has been reviewed by the City
Manager, Finance Director and Budget Manager.
A Governing Board Meeting was held on April 18, 2024 and another Governing Board
Meeting will be held on June 13, 2024 to review the proposed budget document in detail.
For presentation purposes,the Consolidated Financial Report is presented,followed by the
ACES budget submitted on April 18th on 1st reading. The Consolidated Financial Report
represents the Proposed FY 2024/2025 ACES budget for 2nd reading however, it differs from
the original document as it's a more condensed view of the original ACES budget
document. This report displays the proposed budget vs. the budget presented at 1st
reading and provides consistency with the format of the DSAHS budget document.
Budget Implications Resulting from the Coronavirus("COVID-19") Pandemic
For the last four years, COVID-19 has caused major disruption in international and U.S.
economies and markets. School operations have returned to a "traditional" environment;
however, the pandemic had a significant impact on learning worldwide. In response to
this, the US Department of Education awarded funding to states and school districts
through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund to help
schools address the negative impact caused by the pandemic. The School utilized this
funding to invest in technology, pay additional teachers and staff to ensure students have
the resources necessary to help bridge the gap through tutoring, summer learning and
after-school programs. ESSER grant related revenue and expenditures are not included in
i
the FY 2024/25 budget as the funds have been spent in prior fiscal years and are pending
final reimbursement from Miami-Dade County. The School expects to receive a portion of
ESSER III funds reimbursements beginning in FY 2023/24 with the remainder expected to be
received in FY 2024/25.
Charter School Fund
This fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures specifically earmarked for the
City's Charter School (i.e.,operating and capital revenues and expenditures).
The total proposed budget for FY 2024/25 is $13,715,262.
The following are the major highlights of the 2024/2025 Budget:
Revenues
- The school budget is based on a projected enrollment of 1,032 students.
- FTE revenue is projected to total $9,030,082 and is based on an average of
$8,750/student and includes the transportation reimbursement component.
- Miami-Dade County Referendum funds are budgeted at $1,495,740.
- Florida School Recognition Program Awards (A+ Revenues) are budgeted totaling
$180,500.
- The Transfers in from the City include $300,000 of revenue generated from the City's
Intersection Safety Camera Program and the remainder of $808,552 is included to
balance the budget.
Expenditures
Personnel Services
- Total Compensation is budgeted at$8,856,600 or 64.6%of the budget and includes
100 Full-time and 5 Part-time employees as shown in the charts below.
Teacher compensation has been increased by 2.5% to reflect the performance pay plan
instituted five (5) years ago in accordance with Florida Statute 1012.22, rewarding teachers
who are rated developing, effective and highly effective. In addition, teacher
compensation includes additional stipends of $1,113,182. A five percent (5%) increase
in health insurance costs is budgeted as rate increases are unknown at the time of this
letter.
