SINCE HALTOM HIGH SCHOOL PLACED FIFTH IN THE 1992 STATE MARCHING COMPETITION, BIRDVILLE ISD SCHOOLS HAVE HAD A REGULAR PRESENCE AT THE PRESTIGIOUS EVENT, WITH THE LAST PERFORMANCE BY THE BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL IN 2019.
IN A PHENOMENAL SHOW OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, ALL THREE BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BANDS ADVANCED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE STATE MARCHING CONTESTS THIS YEAR, WITH A LITTLE OVER 200 6A BANDS COMPETING AT AN AREA LEVEL COMPETITION, ONLY 43 ADVANCED TO THE 6A STATE COMPETITION. LIKEWISE, WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 205 BANDS PLACING COMPETING AT AN AREA COMPETITION, 36 BANDS ADVANCED TO THE 5A STATE COMPETITION.
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE GUIDANCE OF OUR HIGHLY TALENTED AND DEDICATED BAND STAFF, AND WE ARE ALSO DEEPLY APPRECIATIVE OF SO MUCH TANGIBLE SUPPORT GIVEN BY OUR PARENTS, OUR CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIONS, OUR CABINET, AND YOU, THE BOARD MEMBERS.

BUT ON THE WAY OVER HERE, HENRY SCHRAUB CALLED ME AND HE SAID HOW INCREDIBLY PROUD HE WAS OF YOU ALL, AND HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD WAS RECOGNIZING THE BANDS.

[H. PRESENTATIONS TO THE BOARD]

GOOD EVENING. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE HAVE HKS WITH US TONIGHT.
I THINK WAYNE WAS HERE, BUT I THINK HE MAY HAVE HELPED MR. SMITH TAKE EVERYTHING OUT TO THE CAR.
SO DOUG KOEHNE, HE'S THE WITH HKS AND REALLY THE LEAD ON THE DAVID E.
SO, DOUG, WOULD YOU INTRODUCE YOUR TEAM THAT YOU HAVE HERE TONIGHT? PATRICK SO AND ALSO PART OF THE TEAM WITH LEE LEWIS, AND PATRICK [INAUDIBLE] BACK HERE AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO AS PART OF THIS IS JUST GO THROUGH THE DAVID E.
SMITH PRESENTATION, GO OVER THE BUDGET AND GMP AND THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL HAVE THAT IN ONE OF YOUR AGENDA ITEMS. SO I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DOUG FIRST.
GREAT. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT DAVIS.
THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT IT HAS A CANOPY EXTENDING OUT, KIND OF THE PICK UP AND DROP OFF LINE.
THE MAJORITY OF THE BUILDING IS BRICK, KIND OF ON THE TWO WINGS, THE CLASSROOM WING AND KIND OF MORE OF THE PUBLIC PART OF THE BUILDING WING, AND THEN KIND OF RIGHT THERE TO THE RIGHT, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE FRONT ADMINISTRATION AREA THAT HAS THE DAVID E.
SMITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON IT.
THIS IS THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL.
[00:25:01]
THE KIND OF THE BIG MIDDLE PART OF THE BUILDING THERE THAT'S THE LIBRARY BACK IN THE BACK.AND THEN YOU HAVE THE PLAY AREAS.
YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PLAY AREAS FOR THE KIDS TO BE OUTSIDE FOR RECESS OR PE.
AND YOU'VE GOT THE FLOOR PLAN HERE TO THE LEFT OF THE FLOOR PLAN THOSE ARE MORE OF YOUR PUBLIC PARTS OF THE BUILDING, LIKE THE GYMNASIUM TO THE BOTTOM LEFT, THE CAFETORIUM, AND THEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE LIBRARY.
THOSE ARE ALL TO THE LEFT OF THE PROJECT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT OF THE PROJECT IT'S A TWO STORY BUILDING, AND THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE ALL THE CLASSROOMS AND THE KIND OF THE COLLABORATIVE AREAS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF EACH CLASSROOM BANK FOR EACH GRADE LEVEL.
THIS IS AN IMAGE OF THE CAFETORIUM.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE STAGE TO THE RIGHT, THE KITCHEN TO THE LEFT.
YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF ACCESS THIS AS WELL, KIND OF DURING AN EVENING EVENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THAT'S KIND OF THAT DOOR IN THE BACK.
BUT DURING THE DAY OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE LOCKED.
AND THIS IS THE LIBRARY RIGHT HERE.
YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY GOT AREAS FOR THE BOOKS, THE STACK AREA AND THE CURRICULUM DESKS AS WELL.
SO EACH KIND OF GRADE HAS KIND OF A POD THAT THEY'VE GOT THEIR CLASSROOMS, THEY'VE GOT KIND OF AN OPEN AREA RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOMS THAT THEY CAN GO OUT THERE AND GROUPS OR SMALL GROUPS TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL EDUCATION OUT THERE.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET AND THE PROCESS.
THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN ONE OF THE BEST TEAM EFFORTS I'VE EVER BEEN A PART OF IN DEVELOPING THE DESIGN THROUGH THE BUDGETING AND ALL THE PROCESS TO BRING US TO BID DAY. I THINK THIS HAS REALLY BEEN A MODEL OF HOW THE ARCHITECT, THE CMAR, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, LEE LEWIS IN THE DISTRICT AND THE PERSONNEL OF THE DISTRICT REALLY CAN WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH AN OUTSTANDING MODEL.
SO THE THING I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT BEFORE WE GET INTO THE BUDGET IS THIS WAS DONE EXACTLY AS DESIGNED, AND WE WENT THROUGH PIECE BY PIECE AND LOOKED AT AREAS FOR VALUE, LOOKED AT AREAS FOR HOW CAN WE DO THIS DIFFERENTLY AND SAVE MONEY AND GET THE SAME RESULT.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE WAS ACTUALLY THERE WAS ZERO THAT WAS CUT OUT OF THIS BUILDING.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE BASE PRICE AND EVERYTHING THAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD HOPED FOR, INCLUDING ALL THE MONEY THAT WE SPENT WITH THE TRANSITION TO THE FRANCISCO CAMPUS.
AND WE BROUGHT ALL THIS IN UNDER BUDGET.
SO THIS BUILDING CAME IN AT $399 A SQUARE FOOT.
AND THAT WAS A I THINK THAT WAS JUST AN IMPRESSIVE RESULT WITH THE TEAM EFFORT, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT HEARING ANYTHING UNDER $400 A SQUARE FOOT THIS DAY, THIS DAY AND TIME, IT'S MORE LIKE $425.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BUDGET, WE HAVE THE 47.3 MILLION AS THE BUDGET.
OUR GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, WHICH INCLUDES UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE, WAS 41 197.
THE EXISTING BUILDING DEMOLITION THAT WE APPROVED EARLIER WAS 563.
SO WHEN YOU PUT ALL THAT TOGETHER, YOU'RE UNDER BUDGET BY 2.399 MILLION.
SO AS I SAID, IT'S BEEN AN IMPRESSIVE TEAM EFFORT AND I ENJOYED BEING A PART OF IT.
SO ANYWAY, CAN WE ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS WAY.
AND THANKS TO YOUR LEADERSHIP, DR.
WE'RE GETTING A GOOD PRODUCT, BETTER PRODUCT.
AND WE'RE STAYING NOT JUST ON BUDGET, BUT UNDER AND GREAT THINGS AHEAD FOR US.
MR. SMITH SAID HE WANTS TO BE AT THE OPENING OF IT.
OKAY. OH, [INAUDIBLE] POPPED IN THE BACK.
HE'S KIND OF THAT KIND OF GUY.
[00:30:06]
SMITH OUT? DIDN'T REALIZE WE'D GET TO THEIR PRESENTATION SO QUICK.YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD HIM, WAYNE. IT WAS AMAZING.
[I.1. 2022-23 Annual Financial Report [Katie Bowman, Associate Superintendent]]
ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS. OUR VERY FIRST ITEM IS THE 2022-23 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT.WELL, WE'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF TO YOU.
THANKS TO THE LEADERSHIP AGAIN OF DR.
OUR AUDIT WAS PERFORMED BY WEAVER AND TIDWELL, OUR FIRM.
AND STEPHANIE WILSON, WHO'S HERE IN THE AUDIENCE, WAS THE DIRECTOR OF OUR AUDIT.
GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.
AS SHE MENTIONED, I'LL GO THROUGH KIND OF THE RESULTS OF OUR AUDIT.
OF COURSE, ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, YOU CAN ASK THROUGHOUT OR AT THE END.
I'M JACKIE GONZALEZ, I SERVE AS YOUR ENGAGEMENT PARTNER.
AND AS SHE MENTIONED, STEPHANIE WILSON IS A DIRECTOR IN OUR GOVERNMENT PRACTICE AS WELL.
IN ADDITION TO THE TWO OF US, WE ALSO HAVE MELISSA KIRKLAND SERVING AS THE SENIOR ASSOCIATE WITH US.
WE AT WEAVER, WE HAVE SERVED AS YOUR AUDITORS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT WE CONTINUE TO GROW OUR GOVERNMENT PRACTICE, AND IT IS A MAJOR INDUSTRY GROUP WITHIN THE FIRM, ONE OF OUR TOP THREE INDUSTRY GROUPS.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE SERVE OVER 50 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR AUDIT PROCESS.
AND THEN, IN ADDITION TO THE SINGLE AUDIT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT, WE ALSO REVIEW COMPLIANCE THINGS LIKE THE PFIA PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT AND OTHER COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THE TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY.
OUR AUDIT TIMELINE, WE REALLY LOOK AT IT AS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS.
WE START EARLY ON WITH OUR INITIAL PLANNING, BUT REALLY STAY IN TOUCH THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR.
SO IF THERE'S QUESTIONS THAT COME UP, WE'RE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE AS WE GO.
AND THEN WHEN WE COME OUT FOR INTERIM FIELDWORK IN JUNE, WE'RE REALLY ABLE TO START WITH OUR INTERNAL CONTROLS TESTING, START ON THAT SINGLE AUDIT AND MOVE FORWARD INTO OUR FINAL FIELD WORK THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN SEPTEMBER.
I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK. TIME MOVES BY SO FAST.
AND THEN TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY AND ISSUE THIS AUDIT.
WE DO PERFORM A RISK BASED AUDIT.
SO THROUGHOUT THAT PLANNING PROCESS WE GO THROUGH AND IDENTIFY NOT THAT WE THINK ANYTHING HAS OCCURRED, BUT WHERE THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR EITHER FRAUD OR ERROR OR JUST MISSTATEMENT WITHIN YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THEN REALLY GUIDE OUR PROCEDURES AROUND THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS.
OF COURSE, YOUR STATE FOUNDATION SCHOOL PROGRAM REVENUE AND THOSE RELATED ESTIMATES, PAYROLL AND PAYROLL RELATED LIABILITIES, AS WELL AS YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS. WE THEN DESIGNED RESPONSES TO MISAPPROPRIATION OF ASSETS MANAGEMENT, OVERRIDE OF CONTROLS, AND THE WHOLE REVENUE RECOGNITION PROCESS.
WITHIN ANY SET OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF THOSE ESTIMATES ARE LISTED HERE, INCLUDING STATE FOUNDATION REVENUE, THE PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE NET PENSION LIABILITY, YOUR PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE OPEB LIABILITY, DEPRECIABLE LIVES OF CAPITAL ASSETS, THE PROPERTY TAX ALLOWANCE AS WELL AS THE LEASE LIABILITY AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS, AS WELL AS THE SUBSCRIPTION BASED LIABILITIES AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS.
I'LL MENTION THIS IN A MINUTE AGAIN.
[00:35:06]
TO THE LEASES, BUT RELATES TO SUBSCRIPTION BASED IT ARRANGEMENTS.NO DIFFICULTIES OR DISAGREEMENTS.
WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY ADDITIONAL REQUESTS FOR SECOND OPINIONS OR OTHER CONSULTATIONS, AND WE HAD NO MATERIAL ADJUSTING JOURNAL ENTRIES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF OUR AUDIT, WHICH MEANS THAT THE NUMBERS THAT WE WERE PROVIDED BY MANAGEMENT ARE THE ONES THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIALS.
HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RESULTS.
WE HAVE ISSUED AN UNMODIFIED OR A CLEAN OPINION.
AGAIN, THAT'S THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ASSURANCE THAT WE AS YOUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS CAN PROVIDE.
WE HAD NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES, NO SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES AND NO INSTANCES OF NONCOMPLIANCE.
AT THE TOP I MENTIONED THAT WE TEST IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TEA REQUIREMENTS PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT ACT, AND THIS IS WHERE THAT SHOWS UP THAT THERE IS NO COMPLIANCE ISSUES RELATED TO THOSE TESTS.
HERE ARE THE RESULTS OVER YOUR AUDIT OF FEDERAL AWARDS OR THAT SINGLE AUDIT.
AGAIN, WE HAVE ISSUED AN UNMODIFIED OR CLEAN OPINION OVER YOUR COMPLIANCE.
THE DISTRICT DOES QUALIFY AS A LOW RISK AUDITEE.
SO ESSER 2 ESSER THREE AND ARP.
I MENTIONED THAT WE DO DESIGN RESPONSES TO THOSE IDENTIFIED RISKS.
SO FOR THE PAYROLL ANALYSIS WE OBTAIN THE ENTIRE PAYROLL REGISTER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND WE HAD NO EXCEPTIONS IN THAT TESTING.
WE ALSO REVIEWED JOURNAL ENTRIES.
WE ANALYZE THE JOURNAL ENTRIES IN TOTAL, AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANYTHING THAT'S IRREGULAR, EITHER IN TIME OF POSTING, PERSON POSTING, AMOUNT OF POSTING, OR THE ACCOUNT IN WHICH THAT JOURNAL ENTRY IS POSTED.
I MEAN, WE HAD NO EXCEPTIONS IN OUR TESTING THERE EITHER.
WHEN WE PERFORM THAT MAJOR PROGRAM ANALYSIS OR THAT SINGLE AUDIT WE DO A LOT OF DETAIL TESTING, BUT WE ALSO STEP BACK AND TAKE A LOOK OVERALL AT WHAT WE EXPECT TO SEE IN THAT PROGRAM AND PERFORM AN ANALYSIS OF THE COMPOSITION OF COSTS THAT GO INTO THAT PROGRAM.
AND SO ALL OF THE COSTS THAT WE SAW WERE IN THE ESSER PROGRAM WERE JUST AS WE EXPECTED THEM TO SEE.
AS I MENTIONED, WE DID IMPLEMENT GASB 96 THIS YEAR IN THAT.
OVER THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS.
THIS JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS THE GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES BY FUNCTION.
AND YOU CAN SEE FOR 2023, 56.5% OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES WITHIN THAT GENERAL FUND WERE OVER 56% AS COMPARED TO 2022, WHEN THEY WERE JUST OVER 58%.
THIS IS A GENERAL FUND REVENUE BY SOURCE.
AND SO YOU CAN SEE FOR 2023 56% OF TOTAL REVENUE IN THE GENERAL FUND RELATED TO TOTAL LOCAL AND INTERMEDIATE SOURCES, MOSTLY COMPRISED OF PROPERTY TAXES, AS COMPARED TO 53% IN 2022.
THAT'S FOLLOWED BY 39% AND 43%, RESPECTIVELY, RELATED TO THE STATE PROGRAM REVENUES.
AGAIN, HAVING A VERY CLEAN, SUCCESSFUL AUDIT.
AS I MENTIONED, THERE WERE NO MATERIAL ADJUSTING JOURNAL ENTRIES.
AGAIN, NO FINDINGS OVER COMPLIANCE OR WITHIN THE SINGLE AUDIT AND THAT MAJOR PROGRAM.
AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND THINK ABOUT WHAT CAN BE FOCUSED ON, AGAIN, NOT THAT WE IDENTIFIED ANY ISSUES, BUT WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD, JUST CONTINUING TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE PROCESSES AND LEVELS OF RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STAFF MEMBER, THE LEVELS OF ACCESS THEY'RE GRANTED AS YOU HAVE NEW POSITIONS OR CHANGE POSITIONS TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S AN APPROPRIATE SEGREGATION OF DUTY WITHIN THOSE POSITIONS.
AS YOU KNOW, THE MORE CAPITAL ASSET PROJECTS, YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S AN EYE ON THOSE RECORDING THE TRANSITION BETWEEN WHETHER THEY'RE IN SERVICE OR STILL IN PROGRESS, AND THEN MAKING SURE ALL OF THAT IS RECONCILED AND RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPROPRIATELY.
AND THEN LASTLY, RELATED TO FOOD SERVICE, JUST CONTINUING TO REFINE THOSE PROCESSES TO ENSURE ANY YEAR END ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY TO THE INVENTORY AND COMMODITIES, AS WE KNOW, THOSE ARE ADJUSTED THERE AT THE YEAR END.
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO SERVE AS YOUR AUDITORS.
CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL AUDIT, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS? MR. TOLBERT? I'D SAY IT'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION, BUT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.
[00:40:01]
I THINK WHEN THERE'S SUCCESS, YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, WE TEND TO KIND OF JUST YAWN AND MOVE ON.BUT WE DO NEED TO MARVEL AT THE FACT THAT KATIE AND HER TEAM EVERY YEAR COME UP WITH AN UNMODIFIED AND THAT THERE WAS FULL COOPERATION AND THAT THERE'S NO MATERIAL WEAKNESSES.
AND TO DO THAT EVERY YEAR IS AMAZING.
THE SECOND PART I WANT TO MAKE IS, IS THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE.
AND AS A TAXPAYER, WITH MY MONEY GOES TO A SCHOOL, I WANT TO KNOW IF THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT WHO'S ACCEPTING MY TAXPAYER MONEY IS HANDLING IT IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY. AND WE GET AUDITS AND THAT I GET TO SEE THAT.
IT'S ODD THAT THERE ARE FOLKS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT WANT TO SEND MONEY TO PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT AND WILL NOT HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY OR ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE TAXPAYERS.
SO I'M PROUD WE HAVE TO DO IT BY LAW, BUT I WOULD INSIST ON IT EVEN IF IT WASN'T A LAW.
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DON'T WANT TO SEE TAXPAYER MONEY BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
SOMEONE ELSE? DOWN THIS WAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
