A Message from Mr. Colbert:

Going forward in fiscal year 2023-2024

We need to sharpen our expectations to continue to provide exemplary services while increasing the value of services and relationships with our school districts and stakeholder community at large. It is important to keep in mind the business formula that we have undertaken and the administrator’s code that we value in our organization.

Our stakeholders, our board, our community, and our client expect:
Value, Trust, Integrity, Focus, Excellent Performance Expectations Every Day

To achieve this, we must continue to develop a prudent balanced budget that ensures positive budget model while delivering quality services. New initiatives will be entertained, and we need to make sure that we have sound fiscal projections for both estimated revenues and appropriations. New initiatives and or growth areas in the budget must be tied to revenue growth or use of planned resources. One of the first steps is to review fees schedules and revenue projections, thus a meeting will be scheduled with you early this month with the business office to make sure that our fee structure is feasible and reflective of the target market.

For fiscal year 2024-2025

A list of new priorities will be provided in late February to assist you in the development of your budget. As a start, we need to continue our current initiatives and be ready to justify your budget and its impact to the overall budget. Additional instructions will be provided during the budget meetings. I challenge you be flexible to adjust projections based on organization projected initiatives. 

We also ask that you keep reviewing the FY 2024 trends and identify possible new revenue streams or what I call the “new water” of the Department. Also, it is essential that we identify those expenditure areas that need to be adjusted and reprioritized. During the budget process, additional direction will be given to develop various alternative plans to meet a balanced budget.

Our FY 2024-2025 budget goals include to develop a performance-based budget that meets the following budget goals:

1.            Develop a balanced budget,
2.            Be Ready to develop, if necessary, Contingency Projections
3.            Maintain a positive business model 
4.            Establish competitive and sustainable fee structures,
5.            Continue implementing efficiencies – proprietary divisions to be self-supporting and support divisions to operate efficiently,
6.            Identify the “new water’’ new revenue possibilities inclusive of forecast models.
