May 19, 2020

Members of the Board Kyrstin Delagardelle, Chair Dwana Bradley, Vice Chair Heather Anderson Kalyn Cody Kelli Soyer Rob X. Barron Teree Caldwell-Johnson

I present to you the adopted 2020-2021 budget for Des Moines Public Schools.

So much of the world has changed since the preliminary budget was presented in early March. When students left for Spring Break, we were learning new phrases like corona virus and COVID-19. Those phrases have become the new reality for our students, families, and staff. A planned extended Spring Break turned into ending the 2020 school year virtually. The adoption of the FY 2021 budget will also occur virtually. Students, families, and staff have worked tirelessly to pivot to a new form of education, and we are proud of the efforts of all. Des Moines Public Schools will continue to support and educate students, while keeping student and staff safety at the forefront of decisions.

The budget for FY 2021 is balanced and meets the needs of our students. After making significant reductions in the FY 2020 budget, the district is projecting Spending Authority Ratio will begin to change course and increase in FY 2020 and beyond. The district is projected to end FY 2020 with a Spending Authority Ratio of 3.3% and is forecasting the FY 2021 Spending Authority Ratio to be 6.2% In evaluating the district’s financial outlook, several factors occurred that will enable the district to reduce its planned expenditure reductions for FY 2021 and moving forward. While this is a positive move in the right direction, the district is still facing t multiple years of reductions, given the significant underfunding from the State. As in previous years, the district has worked tirelessly to identify areas where these reductions can be made with the least impact on students. The budget takes these conditions into consideration and presents a plan that will maintain the financial health of the district, while continuing to support the Board’s priorities in our efforts to improve the education students receive and the opportunities available to them in Des Moines.

Sincerely,

Thomas M. Ahart, Ed.D. Superintendent

DISTRICT MISSION & GOALS

DMPS developed its Student Expectations and Board Beliefs with public input through a series of community conversations. Student Expectations are deliverables that address educational goals and specific desired outcomes for students. Board Beliefs emphasize the governance of school operations and focus of the district’s work on behalf of Des Moines students.

Mission The Des Moines Public Schools exists so that graduates possess the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be successful at the next stage of their lives.

Vision To be the model for urban education in the United States.

Student Expectations 1. Students demonstrate proficiency and understanding of a rigorous core curriculum: A. They demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. B. They demonstrate proficiency in mathematics, including algebra and geometry. C. They demonstrate financial and economic literacy. D. They demonstrate an understanding of the value of fine and performing arts in society. E. They demonstrate proficiency in technological and information literacy. F. They demonstrate proficiency in science, including life, earth, and physical science. 2. Students possess the knowledge and skills to be self-directed and autonomous: A. They demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving skills. B. They exercise sound reasoning in making complex choices. C. They exhibit creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial thinking. D. They understand the attributes of physical and mental well-being. 3. Students have world awareness: A. They learn from and work with individuals representing diverse cultures and religions in a spirit of mutual respect in school, work, and community. B. They understand the rights and obligations of citizenship at local, state, national, and global levels. C. They are actively engaged in community life. D. They are exposed to languages and cultures of the world.

page 7 Board Beliefs 1. We believe in every child and, no matter their circumstance, will support them in achieving at their highest level. • DMPS will work to ensure our students are career and post-secondary education ready, that they possess the knowledge and skills to be self-directed and autonomous, and they have world awareness with exposure to languages and cultures of the world. 2. We believe all students will have the best staff working to provide and support their education. • DMPS will be a best place to work, committed to recruiting, developing, retaining, and recognizing high quality staff in a climate and culture where people are able to do their best work. 3. We believe in the full engagement of our parents and community in the support of our students’ education. • DMPS will commit to the support, training, and tools needed to maximize engagement opportunities with our parents and the entire community. 4. We believe, as a community, in providing the resources necessary to offer PK-12 education of the highest quality. • DMPS will work, proactively and creatively, with the community to assure the proper investment in our commitment to our children. 5. We believe first-rate facilities are essential to quality education. • DMPS is committed to facilities, as centers of our community and neighborhoods, which offer safe, healthy, well-run, and creative learning environments. 6. We believe in a school district that operates with transparency, accountability, and efficiency at every level. • DMPS is committed to operating in an atmosphere of full-disclosure to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency.

Board SMART Goals In Des Moines Public Schools, we expect every student to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. However, the opportunity gaps, which often result in achievement gaps, for several student populations persist. While many factors contribute to these disproportionate outcomes, we simply cannot regard these outcomes as outside our locus of control. To serve all students, we must intentionally focus on student populations experiencing the biggest disparities in opportunity and outcomes.

During the 2018-19 school year, the Des Moines School Board facilitated a number of public sessions that engaged parents, community members/partners, district staff, and students to collect information around two critical questions:

• What is the impact you want our school system to make on our students? • What do you want students to know and be able to do?

Participants were then asked to list three student outcomes representative of their answers, which were collected, categorized, and prioritized.

page 8 All the information gathered from those sessions, as well as a host of district data, was collaboratively reviewed and analyzed by the Board, the Superintendent, and district staff. In addition, our data revealed black males have the lowest rates of achievement in the district. It does not mean that black males are low achievers, rather that our system’s performance in creating success for black males is critically low and it needs to be named and addressed. It recognizes the need for change within the system to evolve into one that does not continue to marginalize various student populations — doing things the same way and expecting different results has proven to be ineffective. As a result, the three priority areas that were determined will be analyzed through the focus lens of black male achievement.

As a result, the Board’s community engagement efforts produced specific, measurable, time-targeted goals around three priority areas.

EARLY LITERACY • Goal 1: The percent of all third grade students on track in reading will increase from 52% to 72% by June 2023, as measured by FAST.

• Goal 2: The percent of black male third grade students on track in reading will increase from 35% to 72% by June 2023, as measured by FAST.

ALGEBRA • Goal 3: The percent of black male students earning a ‘B’ or higher in Algebra 1 by the end of 9th grade will increase from 17% to 35% by August 2023.

Much of the work of the district over the next few years will focus on meeting these goals, and DMPS staff will report to the Board on progress towards meeting each of these goals four times per year. In addition, a goal will be developed once a baseline measure for social emotional learning is determined.

The Board revisits and revises management limitations annually.

page 10 Critical Financial Assumptions As required by Board adopted Management Limitation 2.6(4), financial assumptions were used to develop the budget and ensure that revenues and expenditure projections are credible. This budget document also follows sound budgeting principles including: Presentation of a balanced budget; Limited use of one-time funding to cover one-time costs as authorized by the board; Use of ongoing funding to cover ongoing costs; Determination of revenues and expenditures; Alignment of expenditures incurred and related revenues earned in the same fiscal year; Incorporation of board management limitations; Integration of reasonable financial assumptions.

Generally Accepted Budget will be in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Accounting Principles Principles. State Supplemental Aid 2.3%. Certified Enrollment 32,606.7 Estimates indicate general taxable property valuations will increase Property valuations 3.39% and total valuations will increase 4.1%; final valuations not available until June 2020. Will continue to receive increased state aid to replace property taxes State property tax relief and thereby reduce property taxes applicable to the district, per state law. Cash Reserve Levy Recommend increasing the levy to the prior period amounts. Will parallel modeling and Department of Revenue projections. The Statewide Penny district is monitoring closely proposed changes to the law. Short-term investment rates Forecasted to be .75% to 1.96% in FY21. Based on receipt of full funding of each student at a district cost per State Aid - Certified Budget student Funding is based on weighting factors as defined by law for Home Weighted funding School, ELL, SPED, At Risk programming, and Regional programming. It does not include Preschool. Certain State grants Funding for state grants is same as the current year. Negotiations are currently underway with bargained groups. The district costed out multiple compensation scenarios in anticipation of Compensation settlement with groups. It is assumed that all parties will work collaboratively to maintain a financially healthy workplace while continuing to offer employees a competitive workplace package. Energy conservation efforts will continue to offset increased utility Utilities costs costs; however, cannot allow for unknown weather factors. Balanced budget Resources will cover expenditures, as required by law.

page 11 Key Financial Measures The district monitors key finical indicators, forecasts, and issues that have a major impact on district finances, including the district’s spending authority and solvency ratios, Supplemental State Aid, the property tax rate, property valuations, and the General Fund forecast. In addition, the district is facing some significant financial issues that must be addressed to maintain the long-term financial health of the district, while continuing to take steps to improve student outcomes. One of the priorities of the school district is to maintain a vital, fiscally sound organization so that students continue receive education in a robust, supportive environment that is conducive to teaching and learning. The district strives to make student-centered decisions in all areas of operation.

To maintain long-term financial health, current expenditures cannot exceed current revenues. The district must avoid dipping into “savings” to manage the year-to-year budget. Consequently, the district must make strategic decisions to align expenditures with revenues in the most effective and efficient way possible. There are two, associated dynamics spurring these efforts: the district’s spending authority and the amount of Supplemental State Aid received from the state.

Supplemental State Aid The General Fund is the largest fund in the district and accounts for 78.3% of all revenues received by the district. The sources General Fund of revenue are state funds, local funds (including property tax), federal funds, and intermediary sources. Collectively, 92.4% of General Revenue funds come from state or local sources (60.6% and 31.8%, respectively). The vast majority of those dollars are allocated by the State Foundation Formula, which is driven by Supplemental State Aid. Supplemental State Aid is the annual percent of growth that is calculated into the foundation formula.

The district is budgeting for FY 2021 with the final Supplemental State Aid of 2.3%.

Final State Foundation Aid will not be determined until the Iowa Department of Education releases the final Aid & Levy in June. When State Aid is finalized, the district may amend the budget.

Supplemental State Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth) is vital as costs paid for with funding from the General Fund — such as health care, other compensation components, fuel costs, and cost of goods and services — continue to rise. Supplemental State Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth) has been abysmal over the past several years.

Supplemental State Aid is vital as costs paid for with funding from the General Fund — such as health care, other compensation components, fuel costs, and cost of goods and services — continue to rise. Supplemental State Aid has been abysmal over the past several years.

In recent years, the amount of Supplemental State Aid allocated by the state has not covered the compensation settlements with employee groups. This gap has caused the district to use unspent spending dollars to cover the costs of operations.

DMEA Settlement State Allowable Growth

The real fear is that 0-2% Supplemental State Aid is the “new normal” school districts are facing, and the years of regular 4% increases to Supplemental State Aid are a thing of the past. School districts have also experienced increased state categorical funding (such as TLC funding) that can only be spent on certain programs, not for general education purposes.

page 13 Spending Authority The state controls the maximum amount each district can spend each year through the spending authority function. Under the spending authority control, it is illegal for a school district to exceed its maximum authorized budget. (To reach the maximum budget authority level, the Board would have to authorize and levy additional property taxes.)

It is important to understand that the limit on spending is the amount of spending authority a district has, not the amount of cash or fund balance a district has. The district’s total spending authority includes the current-year authorized budget plus the unspent authorized budget from the prior year (e.g., the amount of money that a district was authorized to spend in a fiscal year but did not, similar to “savings”).

The unspent Spending Authority Ratio is a measure of the district’s unbudgeted authorized spending capacity (not cash reserves) and is defined as the district’s unspent spending authority divided by the district’s maximum budget authority. The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) recommends this ratio be in the target range of 10-20%. The Board adopted guidelines in FY 2012 setting the target for the district’s unspent Spending Authority Ratio at 10%; in 2015 the Board raised this target to 15%.

Spending authority is directly tied to student enrollment, and there are only three general means by which the district’s spending authority can increase: (1) increased State Supplemental Aid, (2) increased enrollment, or (3) increased miscellaneous income. The district does not anticipate significant growth is any of those three areas.

In situations where spending authority is not growing, if no adjustments are made to expenses, the unspent budget is tapped into to cover expenses. The significant predicament this creates is the decrease in the district’s maximum authorized budget, as it is illegal for a school district to exceed its maximum authorized budget.

In FY 2017, the district’s forecasting model indicated that if the district continually received 1% unrestricted Supplemental State Aid, by 2019, expenses would exceed revenues by more than $5 million (and rising) each year, if changes were not made. Consequently, the district cut expenditures for three years to stay within compliance of the spending authority function.

To develop the budget for FY 2020 and beyond, the district modeled out numerous scenarios that outlined the impact Supplemental State Aid, Inflation, Compensation, and Expenditure Reductions have on district’s Unspent Authorized budget. Thereafter, the district settled on one set of likely variables and modeled out multiple scenarios with the focus on returning the district to a Spending Authority Ratio that meets the Board’s target of 15%, if the trends for Supplemental State Aid, Student Enrollment, Negotiated Salary & Benefit Packages, Health Care Costs, and Costs of Goods & Services continued as they have done for the past several years.

Based on those models, the district determined that implementing aggressive reductions of $24 M each year for three years, for a cumulative reduction of $74 M, would reach the Board target. After

page 14 making the aggressive expenditure reduction of $24 M for FY 2020, the district is projecting the Unspent Authorized Budget and Spending Authority Ratio will begin to change course and increase in FY 2020 and beyond. The district is projected to end FY 2020 with a Spending Authority Ratio of 3.3% and is forecasting the FY 2021 Spending Authority Ratio to be 6.2%

Unspent Authorized Budget Unspent Spending Authority School Board Target

Going into budget planning for FY 2021, the district reviewed conditions to determine if things had improved, deteriorated, or remained unchanged to determine adjustments to targets and goals for the district’s budget and Spending Authority. In fact, several positive things occurred that has allowed the district to revise the reduction targets to meet the Board’s goal for Spending Authority: • The district successfully met its reduction target for FY 2020. • The district budgeted for a 1% increase in SSA for FY 2021; that estimate has been increased to 2.25%. • The district budgeted a 250 reduction in enrollment; the actual reduction was 182 students fewer.

Consequently, the district is revising the needed reductions to be $14 M each year for the next four years, for a cumulative reduction of $66 M. The district will continue to evaluate conditions and adjust accordingly. A description of the processed the district undertook to identify budget reduction targets for FY 2021 and beyond is included on the following pages in the “Budget Processes” section.

Solvency Ratio The district’s solvency ratio is a moment-in-time (June 30) measurement of the district’s General Fund financial health. The solvency ratio is measure of the district’s fund equity position and is defined as the unreserved, undesignated fund balance (commonly referred to as the cash reserves) divided by the district’s total General Fund revenues, less AEA flow-through.

page 15 The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) considers a solvency ratio of 5-10% within “Target” or “Good” and therefore “can handle the unexpected.” GFOA guidelines are 10-17%. During the 2012-13 school year, the School Board approved a minimum target of 15.0% for the district’s solvency ratio. Board guidelines state that the solvency ratio should not go below 3%, without prior knowledge of the Board. The solvency ratio for the district increase at year end 2019 to 15.1%, up from 12.7% in the prior year. The solvency ratio is for FY 2020 projected to end at 21.4%, and the solvency ratio is forecasted to be at 23.5% for FY 2021.

page 16 CERTIFIED BUDGET

The Superintendent submits an annual budget for consideration, deliberation, and approval by the Board of Directors no later than the first meeting in April. Iowa law requires the proposed budget (i.e., the certified budget) to be filed with the Polk County Auditor by April 15 of each year. The “proposed/certified budget” provides data that is the basis of the school property tax levy to begin on July 1 and run through June 30 of the following calendar year. In addition, the certified budget establishes the legal expenditure limit in each of the district’s various expenditure categories. The Superintendent and/or designated representative is authorized to administer specific expenditures only after the official adoption of the certified budget by the Board. The proposed budget for certification is included in the Appendix.

Legal Requirements for Budget Publication, Review, and Certification A public hearing is held prior to the required budget certification each year to receive public comment on the budget document. On or before April 15 of each year, Iowa Code Sections 24.9 and 24.17 require the district to accomplish the following:

1. The school district must publish a notice with the location, date, and time for the public hearing at least ten (10) days but no later than twenty (20) days prior to the public hearing. 2. The school district must hold a public hearing. 3. Upon receiving the required certification by the board, the certified budget must be filed with the county auditor no later than April 15.

In meeting the filing requirement of April 15, it is necessary to re-estimate miscellaneous incomes and expenditures for the current fiscal year as well as initially estimate miscellaneous incomes and expenditures for the next fiscal year. Because the process requires making estimates as many as fifteen months in advance, it may be necessary to amend the budget to change the legal expenditures limit in some of the various categories. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this deadline was extended for FY 2021. DMPS filed the adopted budget on May 20, 2020.

In the event the budget is amended, the legal expenditures limit can only be increased to use un- anticipated miscellaneous incomes or prior year unused funds. The current fiscal year school property tax levy is final and cannot be increased. The district is proposing the maximum tax levy. This levy can be amended to be lower amount, but it cannot be increased.

page 18 BUDGET CALENDAR

Building the district budget is a year-round process, beginning in the fall of the current fiscal year, and ending in October of the following fiscal year when the district and school budgets are revised per certified enrollment figures. All activities are influenced by variables including the state budget process, changes in employee compensation, and budget constraints. The following calendar of events more fully explains the budget development and approval process.

page 28 LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLANS

Multi-year financial planning can potentially avoid the budgetary cycle of simply putting out the next fire by providing a longer-term perspective on what problems are coming and thus preventing or minimizing them. The district has identified several key issues that can affect the budget:

Spending Authority Iowa uses a school finance formula which sets the maximum amount a district is authorized to spend and certify on a budget for a fiscal year. A district’s spending authority is the sum of the district’s combined cost and miscellaneous income for the budget year plus unspent balance from the previous year. It is illegal for a district to exceed its maximum authorized budget.

Supplemental State Aid The district is budgeting for FY 2021 with an assumption for what the final Supplemental State Aid will be. The Governor proposed 2.5% SSA; the House passed its education bill at 2.5% SSA; the Senate passed its education bill at 2.1% SSA. Currently the district is budgeting based on SSA at 2.25%. However, as Supplemental State Aid is not yet finalized, the budget is a current best estimate.

Compensation Compensation — salaries and benefits — represents 81.5% of all budgeted expenditures in the General Fund for FY 2021. The issue of compensation has several key components including cost of living for employees, rising health care costs, sustainability of the workforce, and maintaining effective programing. To address this key issue, the district has a multi-faceted approach. For example, the district conducts comprehensive negotiations with employees, conducts extensive training for staff, and is implementing a district-wide wellness program.

Cost of Goods and Services The district is focused on finding ways to do more with less and directing funds toward costs that impact students. The district has pursued multiple ways to address rising costs of goods and services including paper reduction strategies, system integration, data analysis, and energy savings.

Long-term forecasting helps the district budget for areas of operation to implement achieve Student Expectations, while staying within the annual Management Limitations set by the Board of Directors. The Business & Finance department reviews financial data on daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. If an analysis determines that an initiative is not effective, corrective steps are taken. The Business & Finance department also completes and presents quarterly monitoring reports to the Board to demonstrate the district’s fiscal condition.

page 29 General Fund Forecast

The forecast makes the following assumptions for revenues: (1) Enrollment decreases by 250 students per year. (2) The percent of growth for Supplemental State Aid is projected at a 2.3% for FY 2021 and 1.00% for FY 2022-2024. (3) Standard federal programs will decrease by 8% for FY 2021, then stabilize for the out years.

The forecast also makes the following assumptions for expenditures: (A) Historical increases for compensation (state average) will continue. (B) Modest 1% increases for goods and services (inflation). (C) Expenditure reduction $14 M in FY 2021, FY 2022, FY 2023, and FY 2024.

ENROLLMENT

For more 100 years, DMPS, accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges and the Iowa Department of Education, has educated hundreds of thousands of children in Iowa’s capital city. Peak enrollment in recent history occurred in 2001-02, followed by seven years of declining enrollment. Currently, 32,607 students are educated in DMPS, which surpasses the previous FY 2002 peak. Using a simple regression analysis, the Iowa Department of Education projects district enrollment for four years beyond the current school year.

page 35 Staffing Changes for FY 2021 As a district, there will not be large increases or decreases in staffing for FY 2021. The biggest change the district is planning for is the future of alternative education in Des Moines. The creation and expansion of new educational programs for high school students at Des Moines Public Schools has provided the school district with an opportunity to restructure and modernize its approach to alternative education.

Over the past few years, three programs have come online that greatly expand the options available to students and families facing challenges and barriers to earning high school credits and re-engage them so they can earn their diploma. Those programs are:

• FLEX ACADEMY: Flex Academy studios are non-traditional 21st century classrooms that provide students with credit recovery through personalized instructional plans. Students are served in a smaller environment at each comprehensive high school, receiving support services for their needs while working to earn the credits required for graduating high school.

• OPTIONS ACADEMY: Options Academy is a high school program for current or reengaged Des Moines Public Schools students who would like to earn their high school diploma by combining their current credits with the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET). In addition to a personalized teaching and learning plan for each student, Options Academy also provides students with career coaching and post-secondary opportunities. The program serves students 17-21 years old.

• VIRTUAL CAMPUS: Virtual Campus is an online high school – designed and taught by DMPS educators – to provide greater equity of access and opportunity for success to all students. Students from throughout Des Moines and across Iowa are able to enroll to take online high school courses. Virtual Campus provides students with chronic safety or legal violations the chance to continue their studies outside of a comprehensive high school.

These programs have seen significant growth in a short amount of time, in large part because they provide more options and greater flexibility rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to meeting alternative educational needs. For example, during its first full year, almost 400 students are enrolled in Virtual Campus while nearly a thousand students participate in the Flex Academy at one of our five comprehensive high schools.

Scavo High School as historically played an important role in our district, serving students with a variety of personal, behavioral and other needs that made attending a traditional high school a challenge. With the growth and development of new programs, this has been the right time for DMPS to look beyond brick-and-mortar solutions for alternative education. For Scavo, that means it will continue to play an important, yet different, role in alternative education at DMPS.

The School Board approved a plan to change the designation of Scavo from a comprehensive high school to an academic program. What that means is, starting with the 2020-21 school year, Scavo

page 36 Program students will be enrolled at their home high school while doing all or part of their academic work through Scavo. Students will also earn their diploma from their home high school. This arrangement is similar to how Central Academy and Central Campus operate. Scavo will be smaller – with five teachers and a counselor – as more and more students are participating in other alternative programs. Former Scavo faculty members will be offered new positions in the district.

As Iowa’s largest and diverse school district, a goal at DMPS is to recognize the different education needs of our students … and serve them. The growth and development of new options in alternative education programs in recent years is a major step in realizing that goal. This change finds the right balance between the reality of changing enrollments in alternative programs while supporting students who will benefit from what Scavo has to offer.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT & BONDING

Thanks to community support, Des Moines Public Schools has completed more than $500 million in improvements to district facilities since the turn of the 21st century, from the renovation of historic structures to the construction of brand new facilities. There has been a concentrated effort to improve and replace existing building equipment, improve energy efficiency, and provide a safe, comfortable environment for students.

In 1999, voters in Polk County approve a local one-cent sales tax for school infrastructure improvements. By 2008, voters in all 99 Iowa counties had voted for the local sales tax increase. In 2008, the Iowa legislature enacted a statewide one-cent sales tax — called the Statewide Penny, SWP — to benefit school districts across Iowa to replace the local option sales taxes, and the governor signed it into law that same year. The SWP created a dedicated source of revenue to support improvements to public schools.

One of the priorities of the district’s Revenue Purpose Statement was to introduce money-saving strategies, and one strategy enacted by the district has been the sale of revenue bonds to minimize the impact of inflation on renovation and construction budgets. The School Board approved the sale of $70 million in Sales Tax Revenue Bonds in March 2010, a second round for $71.9 million in March 2012, a third round in December 2013 for $8.8 million, and a fourth round in May 2014 for $61.9 million. The District refunded the Series 2010 revenue bonds with the Series 2016 Bonds, which saved the district $14.8 million, and restructured payments will save an additional million dollars. The district issued a final round of revenue bonds on May 15, 2018 for $56.2 million to coincide with the program sunset. The Board, district, and DMPS community were actively engaged in legislative advocacy over three legislative sessions to extend the sunset. The extension would ensure a secure, dedicated funding source for capital projects and allow future bonding for capital improvement projects. On May 24, 2019 Governor Kim Reynolds signed House File 546 into law, which extended the program through 2050.

page 39 DES MOINES: A VIBRANT & DIVERSE CITY

As Iowa’s capital city, Des Moines is a hub of government action, business activity, and cultural affairs. The Des Moines Independent Community School District, also known as Des Moines Public Schools, DMPS, serves more than 210,000 people who live in Polk and Warren Counties, approximately 25% of whom are under the age of 18. The median household income (2017) in Des Moines was $49,999, and approximately 18.1% of persons live below the poverty line.

Covering nearly 86 square miles, the school district developed in the heart of the Des Moines city center, east into Pleasant Hill, west into Windsor Heights, and south into Warren County. The district benefits from having strong and diverse neighborhoods and a citizenry deeply involved in its public education. Des Moines is the industrial, technology, commercial, financial, trade, transportation, and governmental center of Iowa. The insurance industry in Des Moines is the third largest in the world, after London and Hartford, with more than 200 insurance offices/headquarters located the city. Insurance activities are part of a strong local economy that is also based in agriculture, manufacturing, technology, education, health care, and other services.

Des Moines offers amenities usually found only in major cities: unique shopping in the East Village; dining at world-class restaurants; countless entertainment opportunities at Wells Fargo Arena and the Civic Center; educational opportunities at the , Downtown Library, and Pappajohn Sculpture Park; and professional sporting events. The city boasts unique housing options at several lofts and townhome developments, has one of the nation’s largest farmers’ markets, and is home to the top-ranked art festival. The community also has a vibrant outdoor scene. One can listen to summer concerts along the banks of the or on the steps of the state capitol building, take a leisurely stroll along the Principal Riverwalk, and the entire central Iowa region is connected by more than 500 miles of trails (including 60 within Des Moines). While there is big city bustle, the community is extremely proud of its small town atmosphere. Throughout Des Moines are dozens of neighborhoods, each with its own personality and style.

page 42 EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

With 33,000 students, Des Moines Public Schools is by far the largest school district in Iowa. While the district may be the largest provider of public education in the state, DMPS takes anything but a one-size-fits-all approach to educating students. In fact, families in Des Moines can find more educational options than anyplace in the state, including:

• Advanced Placement. Central Academy — attended by students from 39 central Iowa middle and high schools — is Iowa’s top AP program, dedicated to providing a challenging curriculum. The Belin-Blank Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development placed Central Academy “in a class by itself” as a college preparatory school. In addition, DMPS is in the midst of a significant expansion of AP course offerings throughout all five comprehensive high schools. All five comprehensive high schools are on the Belin-Blank Center’s Iowa AP Top 25 Index. • International Baccalaureate. DMPS provides opportunities for students to participate in a comprehensive IB program at four elementary schools (Hubbell, Park Avenue, Stowe, and Walnut Street), four middle schools (Brody, Goodrell, Meredith, and Merrill), and one high school (Hoover). • Montessori. Cowles Montessori School is the only public Montessori program in Iowa, serving students in grades K-8. Students learn in multi-age classrooms, and children’s natural curiosities are exploited to the fullest as they advance at their own pace. • Career & Technical Institute. Located at Central Campus, CTI offers students learning opportunities in several high-skill areas, including graphic design, broadcasting & film, culinary arts, fashion, and automotive technology. In addition, DMPS is home to one of only three high school aviation programs certified by the FAA and has the largest marine biology program of any non-coastal high school. In 2017, the district launched the Skilled Trades Academy at Central Campus, which will begin with the 2017-18 school year. The partnership with construction industry leaders and labor organizations creates a Skilled Trades Alliance, with the goal of creating a model program of work-based learning with hands-on applications for students. Students enrolled in a High Quality Pre-Apprenticeship program will be immersed in job-embedded practices and internships while learning from industry mentors. • Higher Education Partnerships. Des Moines Public Schools’ proximity to , Iowa State University, Des Moines Area Community College, and other Institutes of Higher Education have created numerous partnerships and collaborative efforts that support students, teachers, and administrators.

page 43 OUTSTANDING WORKFORCE

Des Moines Public Schools is proud to be home to thousands of educators and other professionals who work hard each and every day to help the students of Des Moines succeed. The good work performed by DMPS teachers and staff has earned awards, honors, and recognition at the state and national level. Highlights of some recent honors include:

It is the third time DMPS has been presented with the honor and is only one of two districts recognized in Iowa. The Meritorious Budget Awards program promotes and recognizes excellence in school budget presentation and enhances school business officials’ skills in developing, analyzing, and presenting a school system budget. After a rigorous review by professional auditors, the award is conferred only on school districts that have met or exceeded the program’s stringent criteria.

The Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) International awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting to the district for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. DMPS has been recognized by ASBO for this honor since 2007. This award represents the highest recognition for school district operations offered by ASBO International. We believe our current CAFR continues to meet ASBO’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting requirements and have submitted it to ASBO to determine eligibility for another certificate.

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the district for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. DMPS has been recognized by GFOA for this honor since 2007. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a district must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. We believe our current CAFR continues to meet the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement requirements and have submitted it to the GFOA to determine eligibility for another certificate.

Over the same period, average student achievement as measured by AP exams, ACT, MAP and Iowa Assessments has also increased. Academy’s goal over the next year is to continue increasing diversity and increasing achievement.

page 71 DISTRICT GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP

SCHOOL BOARD

Iowa Code §274.7 dictates that school district affairs must be conducted by a board of directors. The Board of Directors of the Des Moines Independent Community School District is the governing body of the district and exercises the district’s corporate powers and carries out its public responsibilities. In addition to their responsibilities on the School Board, members also serve on a variety of district committees; represent Des Moines Public Schools on a variety of local, state, and national organizations; and maintain cooperative relationships with both national organizations and local governmental bodies.

School Board Elections The people of Des Moines elect seven members to serve as their representatives on the Des Moines School Board of Directors. In turn, the Board is responsible for the governance of Iowa’s largest provider of public education. School Board members serve in an unpaid, elected position. Board members in Iowa are elected to four-year terms. Elections are held every other year on the second Tuesday in September, and new members begin their term the following week. The school board then elects a chair and vice chair from among its members. Appointment of the board secretary and treasurer takes place before August 15 each year.

On September 13, 2011 voters in the Des Moines school district approved a proposal to elect school board members by director districts. The school board adopted, and the Iowa Secretary of State approved, a map (right) which created four districts, each one representing at least one high school. After the 2015 elections, three school board members have been elected at-large and four have been elected by district. In the past, all Des Moines school board members were elected at-large.

page 76 Community Legislative Action Team The district receives the majority of its annual revenue from sources that are directly impacted by the actions of the Iowa Legislature. While the district has maintained lobby representatives and advocated for students and staff, the School Board recognized the district had not tapped into a powerful resource for advocacy on a formal basis: parents and other community members.

By capitalizing on the potential of parents and other community members who recognize the need for more awareness of how specific legislative actions affect schools, the Board could help citizens advocate for policies that increase student success. To that end, the Board created the DMPS Community Legislative Action Team (DMPS-CLAT) to facilitate advocacy on behalf of the students of Des Moines. During the legislative session, DMPS-CLAT holds regular coffees with members of the Des Moines legislative delegation the second Saturday of each month. In addition, CLAT usually schedules a “Day on the Hill” for DMPS representatives to talk with legislators at the State Capitol about issues important to the school district. In addition, members of DMPS-CLAT regularly reach out to legislators to share ideas and get input on topics critical to public schools in Des Moines.

The DMPS-CLAT focused on four issues for the 2020 legislative session:

• INCREASE SUPPLEMENTAL STATE AID o Iowa schools have faced less than adequate funding from the state to help all students succeed for the last 10 years. • EXPAND SUPPORT FOR K-12 STUDENTS LIVING IN POVERTY o Increase weighted funding for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. • EXPAND PRESCHOOL FUNDING FOR CHILDREN IN POVERTY o Increase in weighted funding in the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program for children living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. • EXPAND SUPPORT FOR OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS o Increase weighted ELL funding to .39, in accordance with evidence-based practice and as recommended by the 2013 task force report on ELL education in Iowa.

page 77 LEGAL AUTONOMY & FISCAL INDEPENDENCE

In May 2017, the Iowa Legislature created limited Home Rule for Iowa school districts. The change provides more flexibility to school districts in their exercise of powers where the law or administrative rule does not already prescribe or prohibit the action. All Iowa school districts remain under the control of a local board of directors and have fiscal independence from other governmental entities.

As provided in Iowa Code §274.1, each school district in Iowa district continues a body politic as a school corporation, unless changed as provided by law, and as such may sue and be sued, hold property, and exercise all the powers granted by law and has exclusive jurisdiction in all school matters over the territory therein contained.

The Des Moines Independent Community School District is a political subdivision of the State of Iowa that exists as a separate legal entity; as a territorial unit, the district is responsibility for the provision of public education within its borders, operating public schools and supporting programs for children in preschool through grade twelve. The district only has authority over the land within the school district and, politically, can only wield powers conferred by the state.

The school district is legally and politically independent of other general purpose local governments, (i.e., counties and municipalities; e.g., Polk and Warren Counties, City of Des Moines, City of Windsor Heights, etc.). The district also has financial independence from other local governments. As outlined in Iowa Code Chapter 257, the district has the power to levy and collect taxes. The school district is also a public body and has some of the privileges of a government, such as the ability to issue tax-exempt bonds.

page 79 DES MOINES PUBLIC SCHOOLS: VISION FOR THE FUTURE

DISTRICT MISSION & GOALS

DMPS developed its Student Expectations and Board Beliefs with public input through a series of community conversations. Student Expectations are deliverables that address educational goals and specific desired outcomes for students. Board Beliefs emphasize the governance of school operations and focus of the district’s work on behalf of Des Moines students.

Mission The Des Moines Public Schools exists so that graduates possess the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be successful at the next stage of their lives.

Vision To be the model for urban education in the United States.

Student Expectations 1. Students demonstrate proficiency and understanding of a rigorous core curriculum: A. They demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. B. They demonstrate proficiency in mathematics, including algebra and geometry. C. They demonstrate financial and economic literacy. D. They demonstrate an understanding of the value of fine and performing arts in society. E. They demonstrate proficiency in technological and information literacy. F. They demonstrate proficiency in science, including life, earth, and physical science. 2. Students possess the knowledge and skills to be self-directed and autonomous: A.

They understand the rights and obligations of citizenship at local, state, national, and global levels. C. They are actively engaged in community life. D. They are exposed to languages and cultures of the world.

page 80 Board Beliefs 1. We believe in every child and, no matter their circumstance, will support them in achieving at their highest level. • DMPS will work to ensure our students are career and post-secondary education ready, that they possess the knowledge and skills to be self-directed and autonomous, and they have world awareness with exposure to languages and cultures of the world. 2. We believe all students will have the best staff working to provide and support their education. • DMPS will be a best place to work, committed to recruiting, developing, retaining, and recognizing high quality staff in a climate and culture where people are able to do their best work. 3. We believe in the full engagement of our parents and community in the support of our students’ education. • DMPS will commit to the support, training, and tools needed to maximize engagement opportunities with our parents and the entire community. 4. We believe, as a community, in providing the resources necessary to offer PK-12 education of the highest quality. • DMPS will work, proactively and creatively, with the community to assure the proper investment in our commitment to our children. 5. We believe first-rate facilities are essential to quality education. • DMPS is committed to facilities, as centers of our community and neighborhoods, which offer safe, healthy, well-run, and creative learning environments. 6. We believe in a school district that operates with transparency, accountability, and efficiency at every level. • DMPS is committed to operating in an atmosphere of full-disclosure to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency.

Board SMART Goals In Des Moines Public Schools, we expect every student to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. However, the opportunity gaps, which often result in achievement gaps, for several student populations persist. While many factors contribute to these disproportionate outcomes, we simply cannot regard these outcomes as outside our locus of control. To serve all students, we must intentionally focus on student populations experiencing the biggest disparities in opportunity and outcomes.

During the 2018-19 school year, the Des Moines School Board facilitated a number of public sessions that engaged parents, community members/partners, district staff, and students to collect information around two critical questions:

• What is the impact you want our school system to make on our students? • What do you want students to know and be able to do?

Participants were then asked to list three student outcomes representative of their answers, which were collected, categorized, and prioritized.

page 81 All the information gathered from those sessions, as well as a host of district data, was collaboratively reviewed and analyzed by the Board, the Superintendent, and district staff. In addition, our data revealed black males have the lowest rates of achievement in the district. It does not mean that black males are low achievers, rather that our system’s performance in creating success for black males is critically low and it needs to be named and addressed. It recognizes the need for change within the system to evolve into one that does not continue to marginalize various student populations — doing things the same way and expecting different results has proven to be ineffective. As a result, the three priority areas that were determined will be analyzed through the focus lens of black male achievement.

As a result, the Board’s community engagement efforts produced specific, measurable, time-targeted goals around three priority areas.

EARLY LITERACY • Goal 1: The percent of all third grade students on track in reading will increase from 52% to 72% by June 2023, as measured by FAST.

• Goal 2: The percent of black male third grade students on track in reading will increase from 35% to 72% by June 2023, as measured by FAST.

ALGEBRA • Goal 3: The percent of black male students earning a ‘B’ or higher in Algebra 1 by the end of 9th grade will increase from 17% to 35% by August 2023.

Much of the work of the district over the next few years will focus on meeting these goals, and DMPS staff will report to the Board on progress towards meeting each of these goals four times per year. In addition, a goal will be developed once a baseline measure for social emotional learning is determined.

page 82 FINANCIAL POLICIES, BUDGETARY ASSUMPTIONS & CONSTRAINTS

GUIDING LIMITATIONS, POLICIES, & PARAMETERS

The district utilizes the Policy Governance and Management Limitations to develop the budget. Using guidance from GFOA, ASBO, Iowa Association of School Boards, and Iowa School Finance Information Services, among others, each year the Board sets targets for financial indicators, including the district’s solvency ratio and unspent spending ratio. The targets set for both the solvency ratio and unspent spending ratio place the district into the “healthy range” identified for each of these financial indicators. The following Management Limitations were used in the development of the budget.

Policy Governance: Management Limitations Management Limitation 2.6: Financial Planning/Budgeting Financial planning for any fiscal year or the remaining part of any fiscal year may not deviate materially from the Board’s Student Expectations Policy or risk financial jeopardy.

Administrative Policy 704: Budget Publication, Review and Certification A public hearing shall be held prior to the required budget certification each year to receive public comment on the budget document. The school district shall, at least ten (10) days but no later than twenty (20) days prior to the public hearing, publish the estimated budget and public hearing date, time, and place in accordance with the Code of Iowa. At least one board meeting providing an opportunity for board discussion of the budget, including the opportunity for public input, will be held at a meeting prior to the date of the public hearing and certification of the budget. Upon receiving the required certification by the board, the budget will be filed with the county auditor no later than April 15.

page 84 Board Policy 770: Cash Flow and Investments The Board directs the Superintendent to invest district funds in excess of current needs in compliance applicable law and public fund investment standards.

Administrative Policy 770: Cash Flow and Investments District funds in excess of current needs shall be invested in compliance with this policy. The goals of the district’s investment portfolio in order of priority are:

• To provide safety of the principal. • To maintain the necessary liquidity to match expected liabilities. • To obtain a reasonable rate of return.

In making investments, the district shall exercise the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use to meet the goals of the investment program.

District funds are monies of the district, including operating funds. Operating funds of the district are funds, which are reasonably expected to be used during a current budget year or within fifteen months of receipt. When investing operating funds, the investments must mature within three hundred and ninety-seven days or less. When investing funds other than operating funds, the investments must mature according to the need for the funds.

The board authorizes the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to invest funds in excess of current needs in the following investments:

• Interest bearing savings, money market, and checking accounts at the district’s authorized depositories. • Obligations of the United States government, its agencies, and instrumentalities. • Certificates of deposit and other evidences of deposit at federally insured Iowa depository institutions. • Repurchase agreements in which underlying collateral consists of investments in government securities. The district must take delivery of the collateral either directly or through an authorized custodian. Repurchase agreements do not include reverse repurchase agreements. • Prime banker acceptances that mature within two hundred seventy days and are eligible for purchase by a federal reserve bank. At the time of purchase, no more than ten percent of the investment portfolio can be in these investments and no more than five percent of the investment portfolio can be invested in the securities of a single issuer. • Commercial paper or other short-term corporate debt that matures within two hundred seventy days and is rated within the two highest classifications, as established by at least one of the standard rating services, with no more than five percent at the time of purchase placed in the second highest classification. At the time of purchase no more than ten percent of the

page 85 investment portfolio can be in these investments and no more than five percent of the investment portfolio can be invested in the securities of a single issuer. • An open-end management investment company registered with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission and commonly referred to as a money market mutual fund. The money market mutual fund shall use only the investments individually authorized by law for school districts.

It shall be the responsibility of the CFO to oversee the investment portfolio in compliance with this policy and the law.

The CFO shall have the discretion to contract with an outside person to invest school district funds, to advise on investments, to direct investments, to act in a fiduciary capacity, or to perform other services to the Board for review and approval consistent with Management Limitations 2.3. The CFO shall also provide the Board with information about and verification of the outside person’s fiduciary bond. Contracts with outside persons shall include a clause requiring them to notify the district within thirty days of any material weakness in internal structure or regulatory orders or sanctions against information necessary to ensure that the investments and the outside person doing business with the district meet the requirements outlined in this policy. It shall be the responsibility of the CFO to deliver a copy of this policy to the district’s depositories, auditor, and outside persons doing business with the district.

It shall also be the responsibility of the Superintendent, in conjunction with the CFO, to develop a system of investment practices and internal controls over the investment practices. The investment practices shall be designed to prevent losses, document the officers and employees responsibility for elements of the investment process, and ensure the capability of management.

page 86 Other Financial Information Internal Control District management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control system designed to ensure that district assets are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of the basic financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Single Audit As a recipient of federal, state, and county financial assistance, the district is also responsible for ensuring that an adequate internal control is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. This internal control is subject to periodic evaluation by management and external auditors. As a part of the district’s single audit, tests are made to determine the adequacy of the internal control over financial reporting and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to major federal award programs. The results of the district’s single audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 revealed no instances of material weakness in the internal control or violations of applicable laws.

Budgetary Controls The district maintains strong budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the Board of Directors. Activities of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds, Debt Service Fund, Enterprise Funds, and Private Purpose Trust Funds are included in the annual appropriated budget by program. Project-length financial plans are adopted for the Capital Projects Funds and budgeted accordingly on an annual basis.

page 87 ASSUMPTIONS FOR A BALANCED BUDGET

Short-Term Factors that Influenced the Development of the Budget This budget document, similar to prior years, incorporates financial assumptions. These assumptions are used to ensure that revenues and expenditure projections are credible. The assumptions, as required by Board adopted Management Limitation 2.6(4), were used to develop the budget.

This budget document presents analysis that continues to follow sound budgeting principles including:

• Presentation of a balanced budget. • Limited use of one-time funding to cover one-time costs as authorized by the board. • Use of ongoing funding to cover ongoing costs. • Determination of revenues and expenditures. • Alignment of expenditures incurred and related revenues earned in the same fiscal year. • Incorporation of board management limitations. • Integration of reasonable financial assumptions.

State Foundation Aid is funding paid by the state to school districts to provide equitable funding on a per pupil basis. It is a significant component of the District Combined Cost, the first major element of a district’s Spending Authority. The State Foundation Aid formula also funds other special programs — also known as weighted funded programs — based on enrollment adjusted by a weighting factor, then multiplied by the cost per student. These programs include Special Education, Shared Programs, English Language Learners, Gifted and Talented, At-Risk programming, and Home School Instruction.

From 1973 – 1994, the average annual growth in school funding was 6.42%. From 1995 – 2010, when allowable growth was no longer set by a formula but became a legislatively passed item, the rate of annual growth decreased to 3.22% From 2011 – 2020, the average annual growth in State Aid has been 1.7%. The district is budgeting for FY 2021 with Supplemental State Aid at 2.3%.

While State Foundation Aid is the major variable in annual revenue changes, compensation settlement is the major variable in annual expenditures changes. The district is currently negotiating with its bargained groups. Historical averages are being used to build current estimates for compensation expenditures.

page 89 FINANCIAL & BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS

The district monitors key finical indicators, forecasts, and issues that have a major impact on district finances, including the district’s spending authority and solvency ratios, Supplemental State Aid, the property tax rate, property valuations, and the General Fund forecast. In addition, the district is facing some significant financial issues that must be addressed to maintain the long-term financial health of the district, while continuing to take steps to improve student outcomes. One of the priorities of the school district is to maintain a vital, fiscally sound organization so that students continue receive education in a robust, supportive environment that is conducive to teaching and learning. The district strives to make student-centered decisions in all areas of operation.

To maintain long-term financial health, current expenditures cannot exceed current revenues. The district must avoid dipping into “savings” to manage the year-to-year budget. Consequently, the district must make strategic decisions to align expenditures with revenues in the most effective and efficient way possible. There are two, associated dynamics spurring these efforts: the district’s spending authority and the amount of Supplemental State Aid received from the state.

Supplemental State Aid The General Fund is the largest fund in the district and accounts for 78.3% of all revenues received by the district. The sources General Fund of revenue are state funds, local funds (including property tax), federal funds, and intermediary sources. Collectively, 92.4% of General Revenue funds come from state or local sources (60.6% and 31.8%, respectively). The vast majority of those dollars are allocated by the State Foundation Formula, which is driven by Supplemental State Aid. Supplemental State Aid is the annual percent of growth that is calculated into the foundation formula.

The district is budgeting for FY 2021 with final Supplemental State Aid at 2.3%.

Final State Foundation Aid will not be determined until the Iowa Department of Education releases the final Aid & Levy in June. When State Aid is finalized, the district may amend the budget.

page 90 Supplemental State Aid is vital as costs paid for with funding from the General Fund — such as health care, other compensation components, fuel costs, and cost of goods and services — continue to rise. Supplemental State Aid has been abysmal over the past several years.

ANNUAL PERCENT GROWTH IN SSA 1973 – 1994 Average Annual Growth: 6.22% 1995 – 2010 Average Growth: 3.29% 2011 – 2021 Average: 1.81% 16% 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0%

In recent years, the amount of Supplemental State Aid allocated by the state has not covered the compensation settlements with employee groups. This gap has caused the district to use unspent spending dollars to cover the costs of operations.

DMEA Settlement State Allowable Growth

The real fear is that 0-2% Supplemental State Aid is the “new normal” school districts are facing, and the years of regular 4% increases to Supplemental State Aid are a thing of the past. School

page 91 districts have also experienced increased state categorical funding (such as TLC funding) that can only be spent on certain programs, not for general education purposes.

Spending Authority The state controls the maximum amount each district can spend each year through the spending authority function. Under the spending authority control, it is illegal for a school district to exceed its maximum authorized budget. (To reach the maximum budget authority level, the Board would have to authorize and levy additional property taxes.)

It is important to understand that the limit on spending is the amount of spending authority a district has, not the amount of cash or fund balance a district has. The district’s total spending authority includes the current-year authorized budget plus the unspent authorized budget from the prior year (e.g., the amount of money that a district was authorized to spend in a fiscal year but did not, similar to “savings”).

The unspent Spending Authority Ratio is a measure of the district’s unbudgeted authorized spending capacity (not cash reserves) and is defined as the district’s unspent spending authority divided by the district’s maximum budget authority. The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) recommends this ratio be in the target range of 10-20%. The Board adopted guidelines in FY 2012 setting the target for the district’s unspent Spending Authority Ratio at 10%; in 2015 the Board raised this target to 15%.

Spending authority is directly tied to student enrollment, and there are only three general means by which the district’s spending authority can increase: (1) increased State Supplemental Aid, (2) increased enrollment, or (3) increased miscellaneous income. The district does not anticipate significant growth is any of those three areas.

In situations where spending authority is not growing, if no adjustments are made to expenses, the unspent budget is tapped into to cover expenses. The significant predicament this creates is the decrease in the district’s maximum authorized budget, as it is illegal for a school district to exceed its maximum authorized budget.

In FY 2017, the district’s forecasting model indicated that if the district continually received 1% unrestricted Supplemental State Aid, by 2019, expenses would exceed revenues by more than $5 million (and rising) each year, if changes were not made. Consequently, the district cut expenditures for three years to stay within compliance of the spending authority function.

To develop the budget for FY 2020 and beyond, the district modeled out numerous scenarios that outlined the impact Supplemental State Aid, Inflation, Compensation, and Expenditure Reductions have on district’s Unspent Authorized budget. Thereafter, the district settled on one set of likely variables and modeled out multiple scenarios with the focus on returning the district to a Spending Authority Ratio that meets the Board’s target of 15%, if the trends for Supplemental State Aid, Student Enrollment, Negotiated Salary & Benefit Packages, Health Care Costs, and Costs of Goods & Services continued as they have done for the past several years.

page 92 Based on those models, the district determined that implementing aggressive reductions of $24 M each year for three years, for a cumulative reduction of $74 M, would reach the Board target. After making the aggressive expenditure reduction of $24 M for FY 2020, the district is projecting the Unspent Authorized Budget and Spending Authority Ratio will begin to change course and increase in FY 2020 and beyond. The district is projected to end FY 2020 with a Spending Authority Ratio of 3.3% and is forecasting the FY 2021 Spending Authority Ratio to be 6.2%

Unspent Authorized Budget Unspent Spending Authority School Board Target

Going into budget planning for FY 2021, the district reviewed conditions to determine if things had improved, deteriorated, or remained unchanged to determine adjustments to targets and goals for the district’s budget and Spending Authority. In fact, several positive things occurred that has allowed the district to revise the reduction targets to meet the Board’s goal for Spending Authority: • The district successfully met its reduction target for FY 2020. • The district budgeted for a 1% increase in SSA for FY 2021; that estimate has been increased to 2.25%. • The district budgeted a 250 reduction in enrollment; the actual reduction was 182 students fewer.

Consequently, the district is revising the needed reductions to be $14 M each year for the next four years, for a cumulative reduction of $66 M. The district will continue to evaluate conditions and adjust accordingly. A description of the processed the district undertook to identify budget reduction targets for FY 2021 and beyond is included on the following pages in the “Budget Processes” section.

page 93 Solvency Ratio The district’s solvency ratio is a moment-in-time (June 30) measurement of the district’s General Fund financial health. The solvency ratio is measure of the district’s fund equity position and is defined as the unreserved, undesignated fund balance (commonly referred to as the cash reserves) divided by the district’s total General Fund revenues, less AEA flow-through.

The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) considers a solvency ratio of 5-10% within “Target” or “Good” and therefore “can handle the unexpected.” GFOA guidelines are 10-17%. During the 2012-13 school year, the School Board approved a minimum target of 15.0% for the district’s solvency ratio. Board guidelines state that the solvency ratio should not go below 3%, without prior knowledge of the Board. The solvency ratio for the district increase at year end 2019 to 15.1%, up from 12.7% in the prior year. The solvency ratio is for FY 2020 projected to end at 21.4%, and the solvency ratio is forecasted to be at 23.5% for FY 2021.

page 94 General Fund Forecast Multi-year financial planning can potentially avoid the budgetary cycle of simply putting out the next fire by providing a longer term perspective on what problems are coming and thus preventing or minimizing them. Maintaining the financial health of the district is accomplished through a variety of factors including: (1) Maintaining a spending authority ratio within the recommended guidelines of 10-20%, (2) Maintaining a solvency ratio within the recommended guidelines of 5-15%, (3) Following GFOA recommendations of 60 days of cash reserves on hand, (4) Managing the district’s investment portfolio and debt, and (5) Conducting trend/forecast analysis including the various impacts tax rates can have on the district.

Long-term forecasting helps the district budget for areas of operation to achieve Student Expectations, while staying within the annual Budget Parameters set by the Board of Directors. The Business & Finance department reviews financial data on daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. If an analysis determines that an initiative is not effective, corrective steps are taken. The Business & Finance department also completes and presents quarterly monitoring reports to the Board to demonstrate the district’s fiscal condition.

The forecast makes the following assumptions for revenues: (1) Enrollment decreases by 250 students per year. (2) The percent of growth for Supplemental State Aid is projected at a 2.3% for FY 2021 and 1.00% for FY 2022-2024. (3) Standard federal programs will decrease by 8% for FY 2021, then stabilize for the out years.

The forecast also makes the following assumptions for expenditures: (A) Historical increases for compensation (state average) will continue. (B) Modest 1% increases for goods and services (inflation). (C) Expenditure reduction $14 M in FY 2021, FY 2022, FY 2023, and FY 2024.

page 98 BUDGET PROCESS

BUDGETING PRINCIPALS

This budget document presents analysis that continues to follow sound budgeting principles including presentation of a balanced budget, limited use of one-time funding to cover one-time costs as authorized by the board, use of ongoing funding to cover ongoing costs, determination of revenues and expenditures, alignment of expenditures incurred and related revenues earned in the same fiscal year, incorporation of Board Management Limitations and Board budgetary parameters, and the integration of reasonable financial assumptions.

School districts in Iowa must operate within their means. There are eight ways a budget can be balanced:

1. Revenues ≥ Expenditures 2. Revenues + Fund Balances ≥ Expenditures 3. Revenues + Transfers ≥ Expenditures 4. Revenues + Loans ≥ Expenditures 5. Revenues + Fund Balances + Transfers ≥ Expenditures 6. Revenues + Fund Balances + Loans ≥ Expenditures 7. Revenues + Transfers + Loans ≥ Expenditures 8. Revenues + Fund Balances + Transfers + Loans ≥ Expenditures

The district’s General Fund is balanced using methods #1 (Revenues ≥ Expenditures) and #2 (Revenues + Fund Balances ≥ Expenditures). The district’s combined budget is balanced using method #8 (Revenues + Fund Balances + Transfers + Loans ≥ Expenditures).

page 99 BASIS OF BUDGETING

In governmental accounting, the budgetary basis of accounting differs slightly from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that is the basis used in preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

The basis of budgeting (or “budgetary basis”) refers to the basis of accounting used to estimate financing sources in the budget. There are three general types of budgetary bases:

• Cash Basis indicates transactions are recognized only when cash is increased or decreased. • Accrual Basis indicates revenues are recorded when they are earned (whether or not cash is received at the time) and expenditures are recorded when goods and services are received (whether or not cash disbursements are made at the time). • Modified Accrual Basis is the method under which revenues and other financial resource increments are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual; that is, when they become both “measurable” and “available to finance expenditures of the current period.” Available means collectible in the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay the liabilities of the current period.

The district uses modified accrual as the basis of budgeting.

Conversely, district management prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) that utilizes the following principles:

Government- Wide Fund Financial Statements Statements Governmental Proprietary Fiduciary Funds Funds Funds Scope Entire district Activities that are Activities the Activities the (except Fiduciary not Proprietary or district operated district administers Funds) Fiduciary, such as similar to private on behalf of instruction, businesses, such as someone else, administration, and school nutrition such as building scholarships maintenance Required • Statement of • Balance Sheet • Statement of • Statement of Financial Net Assets • Statement of Net Assets Fiduciary Net Statements • Statement of Revenues, • Statement of Assets Activities Expenditures, Revenues, • Statement of and Changes in Expenditures, Changes in Fund Balances and Changes in Fiduciary Net Fund Balances Assets • Statement of Cash Flows

The most recent CAFR can be found at: http://www.dmschools.org/departments/business- finance/financial-reports/.

The budgetary basis of accounting is not subject to the same provisions as GAAP. The differences between the two may be summarized by four important distinctions:

1) Basis: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) uses the accrual basis of accounting as the primary method for recording and calculating information. Accrual accounting is the idea that financial transactions are noted and recorded at essentially the same time that they take place. A budgetary basis of accounting uses either a modified accrual basis or the cash plus encumbrances method. Modified accrual accounting, which the district uses as the basis of budgeting, combines accrual accounting and cash basis accounting. This means that expenditures and liabilities are often recorded when they occur, but can also take place when physical cash is used as the basis for the transaction.

2) Timing: Timing is part of the difference between the various accrual methods. In GAAP accounting, transactions based on accrual methods are concurrent with the recording of those transactions. However, with budgetary basis accounting, this is not required. Instead, there can be a lapse between the budgetary period and the accounting period. In other words, the actual recording of the financial transactions and the reconciliation can take place at a later date.

page 101 3) Reporting: The reporting perspective of budgetary basis accounting can also differ somewhat from the reporting perspective of GAAP accounting. In budgetary basis accounting, certain items can be reported as part of the General Fund, whereas in GAAP accounting, these same items must be reported separately. This is simply a matter of the basis structuring of accounting methods.

4) Entities: The final major difference between GAAP and the budgetary accounting basis is in the reporting of entities for which funds are typically allocated. In GAAP accounting, each entity is noted and recorded. However, in budgetary basis accounting, not every entity for which funds have been appropriated will necessarily show up in the budget and in the general account. Whenever this occurs, it is referred to as an entity difference.

In Des Moines Public Schools, differences between the basis of accounting and the basis of budgeting methods include:

• The timing of revenue and expenditures. For example, in GAAP accounting, revenues are recognized in Governmental Funds as soon as they are both “measurable” and “available,” whereas revenues recognition under the budgetary basis of accounting may be deferred until amounts are actually received in cash. • Encumbered amounts are commonly treated as expenditures under the basis of budgeting, while encumbrances are never classified as expenditures under the GAAP basis of accounting. • Budgetary revenues and expenditures may include items classified as “other financing sources” and “other financing uses” under the GAPP basis of accounting. • Under the GAAP basis of accounting, changes in the fair value of investments are generally treated as adjustments to revenues, which is not commonly the case under the basis of budgeting. • Under the GAAP basis of accounting, an expenditure is recognized for the net present value of minimum lease payments at the time the district enters into a capital lease involving a governmental fund. Typically, no such expenditure is recognized under the basis of budgeting. • There may be differences between the fiscal year used for financial reporting and the budget period (e.g., grants from the U.S. Department of Education may operate on an October 1 – September 30 fiscal calendar). • The fund structure used in GAAP financial statements may differ from the fund structure used for budgetary purposes. • Under the GAAP basis of accounting used in proprietary funds, the receipt of long-term debt proceeds, capital outlays, and debt services principal payments are not reported in operations, but all allocations for depreciation and amortization expense are recorded. The opposite is true under the budgetary basis.

page 102 BUDGET PLANNING

Budget planning is a continuous process involving study and deliberation by the Board, administrative staff, faculty, other staff members, and citizens of the community. It is important to note there are two distinctive budget documents with uniquely different purposes and timelines: the Certified Budget and the Adopted Budget and Financial Statements.

Certified Budget The Superintendent submits an annual budget for consideration, deliberation, and approval by the Board of Directors no later than the first meeting in April. Iowa law requires the proposed budget (i.e., the certified budget) to be filed with the Polk County Auditor by April 15 of each year. The “proposed/certified budget” provides data that is the basis of the school property tax levy to begin on July 1 and run through June 30 of the following calendar year. In addition, the certified budget establishes the legal expenditure limit in each of the district’s various expenditure categories. The Superintendent and/or designated representative is authorized to administer specific expenditures only after the official adoption of the certified budget by the Board. The proposed budget for certification is included in the Appendix.

Legal Requirements for Budget Publication, Review, and Certification A public hearing is held prior to the required budget certification each year to receive public comment on the budget document. On or before April 15 of each year, Iowa Code Sections 24.9 and 24.17 require the district to accomplish the following:

1. The school district must publish a notice with the location, date, and time for the public hearing at least ten (10) days but no later than twenty (20) days prior to the public hearing. 2. The school district must hold a public hearing. 3. Upon receiving the required certification by the board, the certified budget must be filed with the county auditor no later than April 15.

In meeting the filing requirement of April 15, it is necessary to re-estimate miscellaneous incomes and expenditures for the current fiscal year as well as initially estimate miscellaneous incomes and expenditures for the next fiscal year. Because the process requires making estimates as many as fifteen months in advance, it may be necessary to amend the budget to change the legal expenditures limit in some of the various categories.

In the event the budget is amended, the legal expenditures limit can only be increased to use un- anticipated miscellaneous incomes or prior year unused funds. The current fiscal year school property tax levy is final and cannot be increased. The district is proposing the maximum tax levy. This levy can be amended to be lower amount, but it cannot be increased.

Proposed Tax Rate: 18.60751

Adopted Budget and Financial Statements In addition to the certified budget that is filed with the County Auditor, a detailed document, the Adopted Budget and Financial Statements, is developed for the same year and is released as soon as is practical. This document is the culmination of a multi-month budget development process (described below) a. The budget document is designed to serve as a management tool. It is a detailed analysis of all revenue sources and expenditures for all areas of operation to implement the Student Expectations/Board Beliefs set by the Board of Directors, achieve progress toward the Board SMART Goals, and ensure success of students. The information contained in the main body of this document is reflective of the budgeted plan to fund the district’s instructional programs and services and is more complete than the certified budget.

The purpose of the certified budget and the detailed Adopted Budget and Financial Statements is to provide timely information with which to make strategic decisions that ultimately affect the quality of education provided to students.

page 104 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT

District Budget Development The district-wide budget development process is a collaborative process involving many stakeholders including school personnel, Business & Finance, the CFO, the Superintendent, and the Board. The budget reflects the labor, materials, and resources required to fulfill the goals and objectives outlined by the Board. The budget serves as an operational plan, stated in financial terms, for carrying out the goals of the school system. The budget preparation process begins each year in the fall, continues through April 15 with the adoption of the certified budget by the Board, and culminates with revisions based on actual enrollment in October.

In previous years, a high-level overview of the collaborative process was as outlined below:

CFO charges Chiefs to work with their teams to develop recommendations

Chiefs provide recommendations to CFO

Chiefs discuss all recommendations

Superintendent / CFO present budget plan to Board

The district modified this process slightly to push the collaboration on the front-end, as outlined in the following high-level overview:

Engage Cabinet members in Budget Advisory Team

Budget Advisory Team develops recommendations

Recommendations presented to Chiefs

Chiefs discuss all recommendations

Superintendent / CFO present budget plan to Board

page 105 To achieve this modified process, the CFO convened a working group comprised of Cabinet members from every Chief’s office. The 13-member team met weekly develop recommendations that were presented to the Chiefs of how to reach the target of $14 M in reductions. The team consisted of:

Department Name Role Shashank Aurora Chief Financial Officer Financial Services Joel Etienne Accounting Specialist Human Resources Cathy McKay Director of Employee Services Amanda Miller Director of Food & Nutrition Operations Dan Warren Director of Technology Jason Allen Director of District Activities Schools Tim Schott Executive Director of Learning & Leadership Shelly Bosovich Executive Director of Student & Family Services Becky Curry Director of Special Education Student & Family Services Jake Troja Director of School Climate Transformation Allyson Vukovich Director of Community Schools Noelle Nelson Executive Director of Teaching & Learning Teaching & Learning Pablo Ortega Director of English Language Learner Program

The goal of the Advisory Team was to provide recommendations with minimal impact to employees. The approach to reach budget targets was to consider both cost reductions and revenue generating ideas, while keeping the financial targets for Spending Authority and Solvency ratios in mind. As a group, the Advisory Team brainstormed expenditure reductions or revenue generators. The Team determined if the idea could be implemented in FY 2021 or if the idea was too complicated and was more realistically a future-year idea. Thereafter, the Team determine if the return on implementing the idea would be worth the disruption to the system. Those ideas that remained after both of the initial funnels were assigned to a Team Member investigate further to determine the potential, realistic decrease in expenditure or increase in revenue. The assignments were made to align the idea to Team Members’ functional areas. After completing their investigations, the Team assembled again to analyze the entire list and prioritize the suggestions. The CFO presented this to Chiefs; that group made final decision.

Idea Cost Savings Reclass leases/repairs to PPEL/SAVE 5,500,000 Reduction of teacher contract days 1,690,000 Smaller increase to Medical Insurance costs than budgeted 1,250,000 Merit increase same as FY20 1,090,000 Software reduction 300,000 Program review 240,000 Lower textbook adoption budget 100,000 Savings in printing due to changes in contract 100,000 Self-insure vehicles repair. Transfer amount from GF to MF 50,000 TOTAL EXPENDITURE REDUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS $10,320,000

page 106

Cost Savings OR Idea New Revenue Expenditure Reduction Recommendations $10,320,000 New Revenue Recommendations $5,130,000 FY 2021 RECOMMENDATIONS $15,450,000

Committees formed to work on those ideas that were determined to be a “future-year” ideas. Those committees have been meeting since the FY 2021 recommendations were presented, and the large group with will pick up in early summer after start of FY 2021 to begin working on those ideas begin a new round of idea generation.

School Budget Development The development of a school budget is a critical component of the district-wide process. A school’s budget is often driven by allocation formula, contractual obligations, district-wide policies and procedures, and school-based initiatives.

The process starts with each school’s enrollment projections and programmatic requirements. Business & Finance staff sends each school a budget workbook showing its resources and allocations. The workbook contains various components such as staffing, prior year expenditures, and enrollment counts. School administrators review the budget and work with their administrative team to make decisions regarding staffing and resource allocation for the following year. Adjustments are made in October, once actual enrollments are certified. Decentralized funds are allocated to schools based on enrollment.

Timeline Building the district budget is a year-round process, beginning in the fall of the current fiscal year, and ending in October of the following fiscal year when the district and school budgets are revised per certified enrollment figures. All activities are influenced by variables including the state budget process, changes in employee compensation, and budget constraints. The following calendar of events more fully explains the budget development and approval process.

Budget Timeline Ongoing Performance monitored Revisions to current fiscal year; departments and schools submit requests for new fiscal Fall year Winter Input from the community and staff solicited for new fiscal year Proposed budget for new fiscal year released; public hearings held; budget for new fiscal Spring year approved Summer Close out of current fiscal year; startup of new fiscal year; projections for next fiscal year

page 110 FUND STRUCTURES & DESCRIPTIONS

FUND STRUCTURE

Fiscal operations of the district are organized on the basis of “funds” and “accounts.” A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives, and each fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. District resources are allocated to and accounted in various funds according to the purpose for which they are spent and how they are controlled. Some funds are required by state law or bond covenants, others are established to control and manage money for particular purposes.

All of the district’s funds are divided into one of three categories: I) Governmental, II) Proprietary, and III) Fiduciary.

page 111 FUND DESCRIPTION

I) GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS Governmental Funds account for activities typically associated with government operations. Property taxes and intergovernmental revenues, such as State Aid and federal funding, primarily support Governmental Funds. Expenditures are classified by function such as instruction, support services, operation and maintenance of plant, student transportation, operation of non-instructional services, and capital construction. The four fund types in the Governmental Fund category are:

A) The Operating Fund (i.e., General Fund) accounts for day-to-day operations of schools and is the general operating fund of the district. It is funded primarily by state funds, federal funds, and local revenues, including property taxes.

B) Special Revenue Funds account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than Capital Projects or Debt Service) that are legally restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes.

C) Capital Projects Funds account for all revenues and expenditures generated through the collection of local option sales taxes and expenditures attributed to the Schools First or Students First renovation programs.

D) The Debt Service Fund accounts for all aspects of the incurrence and repayment of general long-term debt.

II) PROPRIETARY FUNDS Proprietary Funds account for activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of providing services primarily through user charges. As described below, there are two fund types in the Proprietary Fund category:

A) Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises or where the intent of the district is to finance or recover, primarily through user fees, the costs of goods or services on a continuing basis or where the district has determined that the revenue earned, cost incurred, and/or net income is necessary for management accountability.

B) Internal Service Funds account for business-like activities where related goods or services are provided by one district department to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis.

III) FIDUCIARY FUNDS Fiduciary Funds account for assets held by the district in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governments, or other funds. They provide information about the financial relationships in which the district acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others.

page 112 A) Trust or Agent Funds held by the district (e.g. Private-Purpose Trust, Pension Trust, and Agency Funds), while included in the budget book, are appropriated and, therefore, are not part of the total budget.

Within the three fund categories and the various fund types, the district maintains the following fund accounts:

I) GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS A) Operating Fund: 1. General Fund – The General Fund is the largest fund in the district. It is used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.

B) Special Revenue Funds: 1. Management Fund – The Management Fund is authorized by Iowa Code Section 298.4. The Management Fund receives monies from a tax levy approved by the Board for the purpose of covering the costs of property and liability insurance, equipment breakdown insurance, unemployment, early retirement incentives, workers’ compensation claims, and judgments. Given the district’s re-evaluation of the early retirement program, the district intends to lower the tax rate in the Management fund to reflect this cost reduction.

2. Physical, Plant, and Equipment Levy Fund (PPEL) – PPEL is authorized by Iowa Code 298.2. Revenue is primarily generated from voter- and Board-approved property tax levies. The FY 21 PPEL levy will continue at the same rate as in past years. The voter portion of the PPEL levy was raised to the max of $1.34 for ten years in September 2019 and will go into effect with the FY 22 budget. The PPEL Fund accounts for transactions related to the improvement of facilities and grounds, construction of schools, certain equipment expenditures, and other authorized expenditures.

3. Public Education and Recreation Levy Fund (PERL) – PERL is authorized by Iowa Code 300.2. Revenue is primarily generated through a voter-approved property tax levy and community education fees. The PERL levy will continue at the same rate as in past years. The PERL Fund accounts for transactions related to school playgrounds and recreational activities within the district. These funds also pay for a portion of district activity directors’ compensation, certain middle school intramural athletic programs, and City of Des Moines summer recreation programs.

4. Student Activity Fund – The Student Activity Fund accounts for transactions that occur due to school-sponsored, student-related co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. For example, money received from admission fees for events such as athletic events, drama productions, yearbook purchases, student fundraising, and other student-related activities are accounted for in this fund. Expenditures from this fund must directly benefit students.

5. Governmental Trust Funds – Governmental Trust Funds can be used for general district purposes, unless otherwise stipulated by the trust. Within these funds, Expendable

page 113 Trust Funds account for transactions that are received in trust in which both the principal and interest earned can be used to support the district, while Permanent Trust Funds account for transactions that are received in trust in which only the interest earned, and not the principal itself, can be used to support the district.

C) Capital Projects Funds: 1. Statewide Penny: SAVE – SAVE accounts for monies received from a statewide sales tax for school infrastructure. In 2009, voters approved a Revenue Purpose Statement to enable the district to use its portion of a statewide one cent sales tax for school renovation. As outlined in the Revenue Purpose Statement, SAVE projects focus on:

• Safety and security • Replacement of obsolete, inefficient, or worn-out equipment or systems • Money saving strategies • Improvements to buildings which were not targeted with Schools First revenues • Technology infrastructure upgrades • Air conditioning classrooms • Improvements to enhance research-based student achievement • Changing program needs

D) Debt Service Fund: 1. Debt Service Fund – The Debt Service Fund accounts for and reports financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to the expenditure of principal and interest. As required by law, funds will be transferred from the PPEL and the Statewide Penny funds to the Debt Service Fund to make principal and interest payments on the district’s notes and bonds as they come due.

II) PROPRIETARY FUNDS A) Enterprise Funds: 1. Food and Nutrition Fund – The Food and Nutrition Fund accounts for transactions related to the school lunch, breakfast, and summer food programs authorized by Iowa Code 283A. Funding for these programs is provided by student sales and state and federal reimbursement through the operation of the National School Lunch Program. These funds are used to pay for personnel, food, supplies, and equipment purchase and repair.

2. Child Care Fund – The Child Care Fund accounts for transactions for before-school, after-school, and summer child care programs authorized by Iowa Code 298A.12 and 279.49. The district provides before-school, after-school, and summer child care at various sites throughout the district through the Metro Kids program. Revenue is generated from fees, and the funds are primarily used to pay for staff.

3. Home Building Fund – The Home Building Fund accounts for transactions for home building activities performed by students as part of an instructional Career and Technical

page 114 Education (CTE) program. Students in the Home Building program receive hands-on training in the construction of residential homes. This fund also accounts for the sale of homes constructed in the program. Proceeds from the sale of completed houses finance the program.

4. Student Auto Body/Mechanic Fund – The Student Auto Body/Mechanic Fund accounts for transactions related to the service and repair of automobiles performed by students as part of an instructional Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. Students in the Auto Body/Mechanic program receive hands-on training in the repair and maintenance of automobiles. District employees and other community members allow students to work on damaged vehicles and perform regular service work on cars and trucks for a fee. These fees support and sustain the program.

B) Internal Service Funds: 1. Self-Insurance Fund – The Self-Insurance Fund accounts for the district’s self-insured medical plans including regular health, vision, and dental. This fund is supported by premiums charged to other funds based on employee payroll assignments. Medical, vision, and dental claims are paid in full from this fund.

2. Risk Management Fund – The Risk Management Fund accounts for the district’s premium-based insurance plans including life and long-term disability insurance. The fund is supported by premiums charged to other funds based on employee payroll assignments. Premiums are then paid from the fund to the life and long-term disability insurance carriers.

3. Print Shop Fund – The Print Shop Fund accounts for activities related to centralized printing operations of the district. Schools and departments use the Print Shop for large and complex print jobs and are charged a competitive rate for printing services. Fees are charged based on the services performed. Expenses include staffing, equipment, and costs of inventory items.

4. COLLAGE Fund – The COLLAGE Fund accounted for transactions related to materials and services provided by COLLAGE. This fund closed in FY 2017, and expenses and revenues were merged into the Print Shop fund.

page 115 III) FIDUCIARY FUNDS A) Trust or Agent Funds: 1. Private-Purpose Trust Funds – Private-Purpose Trust Funds account for transactions that are received in trust and are expended based on the donors’ wishes and designations. Most of the funds are designated for student scholarships based on criteria established by the donor.

2. Pension Trust Fund – The Pension Trust Fund (i.e. Des Moines Teachers Retirement System, DMTRS) accounts for the district’s defined contribution retirement plan for teachers. The fund provides pension benefits to eligible district teachers and administrators. While this fund is accounted for in the district’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, it is not a budget fund and, therefore, not included in the Budget Book.

3. Agency Funds – Agency Funds account for assets held in a custodial capacity by the district for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. PTAs and PTOs are generally accounted for in these funds. While this fund is accounted for in the district’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, it is not a budget fund and, therefore, not included in the Budget Book.

FY 2021 GENERAL FUND REVENUE SOURCES: STATE

State, 59.6%

State Foundation Aid budgets are based on the initial “Aid & Levy” documents released by the Iowa Department of Education each year in early February. The Aid & Levy projects Foundation Aid based on a per student funding formula which has been in place for years and is administered by the Iowa Department of Education. Property tax rates and subsequent revenues are part of the Aid & Levy and can be adjusted with School Board approval, within limits defined by the State. The district developed a balanced budget, using all known factors. After the Aid & Levy is finalized in June, the district may amend the budget, if needed.

Details of the initial Aid & Levy are included in the State and Local Funds: Aid & Levy worksheet.

State grants are usually determined in advance, and projections are based on grant documents.

To ensure a budget that meets the district’s needs and provides adequate programming for students, the district is proposing a tax rate of $18.606751.

The tax rate is based on a per $1,000 of assessed valuation, in most instances, per the Aid and Levy, as determined by the State of Iowa. Using a $100,000 home as an example, the average taxpayer would have the following annual obligation:

Calculation: FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 $100,000 home value = 100 x Annual Tax Rate $ 1,850.59 $ 1,856.35 $ 1,860.07 $ 1,861.00 $ 1,861.00 $1,000

page 248 Property tax rates will normally only change slightly from year-to-year; therefore, fluctuations in revenue from year-to-year are mainly caused by changes in property valuations. Details on the components of the property valuations within the district are included on the Local Funds: Property Valuations schedule.

The value of property is established by a County Assessor (or the Iowa Department of Revenue) estimating the value of each property, which is called the “assessed value.” Residential, commercial, and industrial real estate is assessed at 100% of market value, and the Assessor must determine the fair market value of the property. To do this, the Assessor generally uses three approaches:

• Market Approach: Analyze sales of similar properties that were recently sold, and determine the most probable sales price of the property being appraised. • Cost Approach: Estimate how much money at current labor and material prices it would take to replace the property with one similar to it. This is useful when no sales of comparable properties exist. • Income Approach: If the property produces income, such as an apartment or office building, estimate its ability to produce income.

Agricultural real estate is assessed at 100% of productivity and net earning capacity value. The Assessor considers the productivity and net earning capacity of the property. Agricultural income as reflected by production, prices, expenses, and various local conditions is taken into account. The utilities/railroad class of property is assessed at the state level.

The Assessor totals the assessed value in each classification (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, or utilities/railroad) and reports it to the County Auditor. Each Assessor sends the reports — called “abstracts” — to the Iowa Department of Revenue. The abstract shows the total taxable values of all real property in each jurisdiction by classification of property, not by individual property. The state then examines total assessed values and equalizes them. The “equalization” process is applied every two years to ensure that property values are comparable among jurisdictions and according to law. The state compares the Assessors’ abstracts to a “sales assessment ratio study” it has completed independently of the Assessors. If the assessment (by property class) is 5% or more above or below the sales ratio study, the state increases or decreases the assessment. There is no sales ratio study for agricultural and industrial property. Equalization occurs on an entire class of property, not on an individual property. Also, equalization occurs on an assessing jurisdiction basis, not on a statewide basis. Equalization is important as it helps maintain equitable assessments among classes of property and among assessing jurisdictions. This contributes to a fairer distribution of state aid, such as aid to schools. It also helps to equally distribute the total tax burden within an area. In addition, an “assessment limitation” is applied every year. This process is commonly called “rollback” and is used to adjust for inflation.

page 264 LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLANS

PURPOSE

There is a two-part purpose for long-range financial planning. First, it provides a forward looking view of the General Fund operating budget, which is the fund that accounts for 81% of all revenues received by the district and has the least expenditure restrictions. It is from this account that the majority of salaries are funded. With a forward-thinking view, the Board and the district is able to evaluate the long-term sustainability of the annual operating budget. Second, long-range planning provides a reference point for future budgetary decisions budget by weighting potential spending needs and projected revenue.

The long-range forecast, which projects General Fund revenues and expenses for the budget year plus an additional five years based on a series of assumptions, is a key tool used for financial planning. Multi-year financial planning can potentially avoid the budgetary cycle of simply putting out the next fire by providing a longer term perspective on what problems are coming and thus preventing or minimizing them. Multi-year budgeting can also end the “us vs. them” dynamic that can plague the budget process. Multi-year planning helps build understanding and consensus for change in the district. Long-term forecasting helps the district budget for areas of operation to implement achieve Student Expectations, while staying within the annual Budget Parameters set by the Board of Directors. The Business & Finance department reviews financial data on daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. If an analysis determines that an initiative is not effective, corrective steps are taken. The Business & Finance department also completes and presents quarterly monitoring reports to the Board to demonstrate the district’s fiscal condition.

APPROACH TO FINANCIAL PLANNING

The following guidelines from the GFOA steered the development of the district’s long-range financial plans: 1. Baseline Assessment — What is the current fiscal/financial condition, and, after careful analysis of revenue and expenditure trends and related budget drivers, what is the fiscal/financial condition likely to be in the future if no policy changes or corrective actions are made? • The baselines assessment helps to: o Communicate a clear picture of the district’s financial strengths, weaknesses, and potential future with no corrective action. o Quantify the impact of key budget drivers. o Identify hidden and emerging problems. o Provide a framework for addressing intermediate and longer-range considerations in budget discussions.

page 265 2. Initiatives Development — Given this baseline assessment, what initiatives (on both the expenditure and revenue side of the budget) should be pursued, and what are the fiscal implications of those initiatives? • The multi-year planning process includes development of a menu of options, generally quantified, that represent the best available approach to achieving and maintaining balance. Approaches would typically involve some (or all) of the following: o Workforce strategy. o Management and productivity initiatives (e.g., transportation, facilities, technology). o Program prioritization. o State legislative agenda. o Tax rates and cost recovery. o Debt management. 3. Implementation — What institutional/organizational measures will ensure that initiatives are put in place? What performance measures are appropriate to monitor the success of these initiatives, and are the necessary data collections/systems in place? Revisit and revise based on results. • Once a plan has been adopted and implementation of initiatives has begun, it is important to find practical ways to do the following: o Measure: “That which gets measured gets done.” What are the performance measures that track the progress made toward implementing an initiative? How do you measure whether the initiative had the desired impact(s)? o Monitor: What are the most effective way to communicate with staff in charge of implementing changes to discuss challenges, successes and failures? How will those lessons and the progress achieved be communicated? o Manage: It is okay to change strategies mid-course as the nature of the problem, available resource levels, etc. change. Measurement and monitoring will indicate when those changes are appropriate.

Alliance for Excellence in School Budgeting Des Moines Public Schools is one of 35 school district members of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Alliance for Excellence in School Budgeting. The Alliance, composed of school districts from 21 states across the United States serving anywhere from a thousand students up to several hundred thousand students, is working with the GFOA to implement the Best Practices in School Budgeting. The Best Practices outline a budget process that centers on aligning resources with areas of greatest impact on student achievement.

As a member of the Alliance, the district is working to implement the Best Practices with support from the GFOA in the form of collaborative meetings, newly developed eLearnings, networking with peer organizations, and other supports. The district’s ultimate goal for this endeavor is to improve the budget process and focus on aligning, evaluating, and prioritizing initiatives to maximize student achievement.

page 266 KEY ISSUES

Spending Authority Iowa uses a school finance formula which sets the maximum amount a district is authorized to spend and certify on a budget for a fiscal year. A district’s spending authority is the sum of the district’s combined cost and miscellaneous income for the budget year plus unspent balance from the previous year. It is illegal for a district to exceed its maximum authorized budget.

Supplemental State Aid The district is budgeting for FY 2021 with a final Supplemental State Aid at 2.3%.

Compensation Compensation — salaries and benefits — represents 81.5% of all budgeted expenditures in the General Fund for FY 2021. The issue of compensation has several key components including cost of living for employees, rising health care costs, sustainability of the workforce, and maintaining effective programing. To address this key issue, the district has a multi-faceted approach. For example, the district conducts comprehensive negotiations with employees, conducts extensive training for staff, and is implementing a district-wide wellness program.

Cost of Goods and Services The district is focused on finding ways to do more with less and directing funds toward costs that impact students. The district has pursued multiple ways to address rising costs of goods and services including paper reduction strategies, system integration, data analysis, and energy savings.

MAINTAINING THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT

The district is facing some significant financial issues that must be addressed to maintain the long- term financial health of the district, while continuing to take steps to improve student outcomes. One of the priorities of the school district is to maintain a vital, fiscally sound organization so that students continue receive education in a robust, supportive environment that is conducive to teaching and learning. The district strives to make student-centered decisions in all areas of operation.

Maintaining the financial health of the district is accomplished through a variety of factors including: (1) Maintaining a spending authority ratio within the recommended guidelines of 10-20%. (2) Maintaining a solvency ratio within the recommended guidelines of 5-17%. (3) Following GFOA recommendations of 60 days of cash reserves on hand. (4) Managing the district’s investment portfolio and debt. (5) Conducting trend/forecast analysis including the various impacts tax rates can have on the district.

To maintain long-term financial health, current expenditures should not exceed current revenues. The district must avoid dipping into “savings” to manage the year-to-year budget. Consequently, the district must make strategic decisions to align expenditures with revenues in the most effective and

page 267 efficient way possible. There are two, associated dynamics spurring these efforts: the district’s Spending Authority and the amount of Supplemental State Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth) received from the state.

Spending Authority The state controls the maximum amount each district can spend each year through the spending authority function. Under the spending authority control, it is illegal for a school district to exceed its maximum authorized budget. (To reach the maximum budget authority level, the Board would have to authorize and levy additional property taxes.) It is important to understand that the limit on spending is the amount of spending authority a district has, not the amount of cash or fund balance a district has. The district’s total spending authority includes the current-year authorized budget (which consists of the district’s combined cost and miscellaneous income) plus the unspent authorized budget from the prior year (i.e., the amount of money that a district was authorized to spend in a fiscal year but did not, similar to “savings”).

The unspent spending authority ratio is a measure of the district’s unbudgeted authorized spending capacity (not cash reserves) and is defined as the district’s unspent spending authority divided by the district’s maximum budget authority. The IASB recommends this ratio be in the target range of 10- 20%. The Board adopted guidelines in FY 2012 setting the target for the district’s unspent spending authority ratio at 10%; in 2015 the Board raised this target to 15%.

Spending authority is directly tied to student enrollment, and there are only three general means by which the district’s spending authority can increase: (1) increased State Supplemental Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth), (2) increased enrollment, or (3) increased miscellaneous income. The district does not anticipate significant growth is any of those three areas.

Supplemental State Aid The General Fund is the largest fund in the district and accounts for 76.35% of all revenues received by the district. The sources General Fund of revenue are: state funds, local funds (including property tax), federal funds, and intermediary sources. Collectively, 92.4% of General Revenue funds come from state or local sources (60.6% and 31.8%, respectively). The vast majority of those dollars are allocated by the State Foundation Formula, which is driven by Supplemental State Aid. Supplemental State Aid is the annual percent of growth that is calculated into the foundation formula.

Supplemental State Aid has been abysmal over the past decade. Given the political climate in the state, the real fear is that 0-2% Supplemental State Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth) is the “new normal” school district are facing, and the years of regular 4% increases to Supplemental State Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth) are a thing of the past. School districts have also experienced an increase in categorical funding from the state (such as TLC funding) that can only be spent on certain programs, not for general education purposes. Supplemental State Aid (Allowable Growth) is vital as costs paid for with funding from the General Fund — such as health care, other compensation components, fuel costs, and cost of goods and services — continue to rise.

page 268 In recent years, the amount of Supplemental State Aid (i.e., Allowable Growth) allocated by the state has not covered the compensation settlements with employee groups. This has caused the district to use unspent spending dollars to cover the costs of operations.

Solvency Ratio The district’s solvency ratio is a moment-in-time (June 30) measurement of the district’s General Fund financial health. The solvency ratio is measure of the district’s fund equity position and is defined as the unreserved, undesignated fund balance (commonly referred to as the cash reserves) divided by the district’s total General Fund revenues, less AEA flow-through. The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) considers a solvency ratio of 5-10% within “Target” or “Good” and therefore “can handle the unexpected.” GFOA guidelines are 10-17%. During the 2012-13 school year, the School Board approved a minimum target of 15.0% for the district’s solvency ratio. Board guidelines state that the solvency ratio should not go below 3%, without prior knowledge of the Board. The solvency ratio for the district increased at year end 2019 to 15.1%, up from 12.7% in the prior year. The solvency ratio is for FY 2020 projected to end at 21.4%, and the solvency ratio is forecasted to be at 23.5% for FY 2021

page 269 GENERAL FUND FISCAL OUTLOOK

In FY 2017, the district’s forecasting model indicated that if the district continually received 1% unrestricted Supplemental State Aid, by 2019, expenses would exceed revenues by more than $5 million (and rising) each year, if changes were not made. Consequently, the district cut expenditures for three years to stay within compliance of the spending authority function.

To develop the budget for FY 2020 and beyond, the district modeled out numerous scenarios that outlined the impact Supplemental State Aid, Inflation, Compensation, and Expenditure Reductions have on district’s Unspent Authorized budget. Thereafter, the district settled on one set of likely variables and modeled out multiple scenarios with the focus on returning the district to a Spending Authority Ratio that meets the Board’s target of 15% if the trends for Supplemental State Aid, Student Enrollment, Negotiated Salary & Benefit Packages, Health Care Costs, and Costs of Goods & Services continued as they have done for the past several years. Based on those models, the district determined that implementing aggressive reductions of $24 M each year for three years, for a cumulative reduction of $74 M, would reach the Board target.

Going into budget planning for FY 2021, the district reviewed conditions to determine if things had improved, deteriorated, or remained unchanged to establish adjustments to targets and goals for the budget and the district’s Spending Authority. The revised targets to meet the Board’s goal for Spending Authority evolved to a cumulative reduction of $66 M over four years, which equates to $16 M reduction for the next three fiscal years.

To achieve this modified process, the CFO convened a working group comprised of Cabinet members from every Chief’s office. The 13-member team met weekly develop recommendations that were presented to the Chiefs of how to reach the target of $14 M in reductions.

The goal of the Advisory Team was to provide recommendations with minimal impact to employees. The approach to reach budget targets was to consider both cost reductions and revenue generating ideas, while keeping the financial targets for Spending Authority and Solvency ratios in mind. As a group, the Advisory Team brainstormed expenditure reductions or revenue generators. The Team determined if the idea could be implemented in FY 2021 or if the idea was too complicated and was more realistically a future-year idea. Thereafter, the Team determine if the return on implementing the idea would be worth the disruption to the system. Those ideas that remained after both of the initial funnels were assigned to a Team Member investigate further to determine the potential, realistic decrease in expenditure or increase in revenue. The assignments were made to align the idea to Team Members’ functional areas. After completing their investigations, the Team assembled again to analyze the entire list and prioritize the suggestions. The CFO presented this to Chiefs; that group made final decision.

In conjunction, the district is continuing to implement efforts to improve efficiencies across the district. Efficiencies can be gained in areas such as business processes, and the district employs a continuous improvement environment using Lean methodologies across multiple areas of the organization. At the same time, the district continues to invest in a professional development program to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the of district’s largest investments: the teaching force. Finally, the district is closely monitoring the Iowa Revenue Estimating Conference, mandates from the Governor, Legislative actions, and federal programs for fiscal impacts.

page 271 The forecast makes the following assumptions for revenues: (1) Enrollment decreases by 250 students per year. (2) The percent of growth for Supplemental State Aid is projected at a 2.3% for FY 2021 and 1.00% for FY 2022-2024. (3) Standard federal programs will decrease by 8% for FY 2021, then stabilize for the out years.

The forecast also makes the following assumptions for expenditures: (A) Historical increases for compensation (state average) will continue. (B) Modest 1% increases for goods and services (inflation). (C) Expenditure reduction $14 M in FY 2021, FY 2022, FY 2023, and FY 2024.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures are funds used by a company to acquire or upgrade physical assets such as property, buildings, or equipment. This type of outlay is made by school districts to maintain or increase the scope of operations. Capital expenditures can include everything from constructing a student drop-off to a building brand new school.

Sources of Capital Funds DMPS Fund Fund-type Examples of Capital Expenditures SAVE Major Construction, renovation PPEL Non-major Routine maintenance of buildings; bus purchases Smouse Expendable Trust Non-major Renovation and design for Smouse Opportunity School PERL Non-major Purchase of playground equipment

Recurring vs. Nonrecurring Expenses The district has both recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. The manner in which the district determines whether an expenditure is recurring or nonrecurring is dependent upon the nature of the project/item. Below is a general outline of how the district determines whether an expenditure is recurring or nonrecurring: 1. An expenditure that benefits the district for several accounting years is regarded as nonrecurring; an expenditure that benefits the district for only one accounting year is considered recurring. 2. An expenditure that is not incurred repeatedly and regularly is a nonrecurring expenditure, while an expenditure which is incurred routinely is a recurring expenditure. Example: a school bus is not bought routinely (nonrecurring), but oil required to drive it is bought at regular intervals (recurring). 3. An expenditure incurred to improve the district or to increase its cost effectiveness is a nonrecurring expenditure. In contrast, an expenditure incurred to sustain routine operations is considered recurring. 4. An expenditure incurred after buying a second-hand asset to bring it into proper working order is a nonrecurring expenditure. 5. An expenditure incurred on the purchase and installation of a new asset is regarded as a nonrecurring expenditure. 6. An expenditure incurred to extend or make an addition to an existing asset is considered nonrecurring.

The most significant nonrecurring capital expenditures are funded through the Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) fund. Capital expenditures are also funded through PPEL, PERL, and the Smouse Expendable Trust. Capital projects involve major expenditures for land acquisition, construction of new schools, or additions and renovations to existing facilities.

page 276 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

Thanks to community support, Des Moines Public Schools has made more than $500 million in improvements to district facilities since the turn of the 21st century, from the renovation of historic structures to the construction of brand new facilities. There has been a concentrated effort to improve and replace existing building equipment, improve energy efficiency, and provide a safe, comfortable environment for students.

Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) Comprehensive improvements have been made possible primarily through two initiatives: Schools First, a local option sales tax (LOST) approved by Polk County voters in 1999, and Students First, a statewide sales tax (i.e., the Statewide Penny (SWP), also now known as Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE)) created by the General Assembly in 2008 through the grouping of the local option sales taxes. By 2008, voters in all 99 Iowa counties had approved a local option sales tax to support school infrastructure improvements. The Statewide Penny earmarked a dedicated source of revenue to support improvements to public schools for 20 years.

The original Schools First local option sales tax resulted in both new construction and significant, long-overdue improvements to existing school facilities. Schools First renovations yielded positive changes for students, teachers, parents, and neighborhoods across the entire community. In many projects, renovation budgets were augmented with grants (both state and federal), incentives from local utility companies for the use of energy efficient construction systems and materials, revenue from Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL), and revenue from fund raising activities by individual schools. Under Schools First, 32 buildings were renovated and three new schools were built. The final LOST-funded projects were completed and paid out in FY 2013.

In September 2009, Des Moines voters approved the district’s Revenue Purpose Statement for the use of statewide sales tax funds for school infrastructure through 2029. The district began receiving funds to implement the Students First initiative for school renovations in FY 2011. As in prior years, in FY 2016, DMPS received the maximum Statewide Average Revenues Per Student, which is calculated based on the projected statewide sales tax receipts, divided by the statewide enrollment. As the vast majority of the district is in Polk County (a retail-heavy county), it is projected that the district will continue to receive the maximum Statewide Average Revenues Per Student. Funding has also been augmented with grants (both state and federal), incentives from local utility companies for the use of energy efficient construction systems and materials, PPEL funds, and fund raising activities by individual schools.

The Board, district, and DMPS community have been actively engaged in legislative advocacy over the past three legislative sessions to extend the sunset. The extension would ensure a secure, dedicated funding source for capital projects and allow future bonding for capital improvement projects. On May 24, 2019 Governor Kim Reynolds signed House File 546 into law, which extended the program through 2050.

page 277 Five Year Plan: Part I (FY 2010 – FY 2015) The Superintendent’s Facility Advisory Committee recommended DMPS implement a five-year plan with a ten-year vision, representing a back-to-basics approach to facilities improvement, for the first five years of the Students First program. Priorities for SAVE expenditures that were established by the Superintendent’s Facilities Advisory Committee and approved in the district’s Revenue Purpose Statement include:

• Improving safety and security (e.g., student drop-offs / pick-ups; security equipment). • Replacing obsolete, inefficient, or worn-out equipment or systems (e.g., heating and ventilation equipment; air conditioning). • Strategies to reduce costs (e.g., improvements that reduce energy costs). • Upgrading technology infrastructure (e.g., high speed internet wiring and equipment). • Making improvements to enhance research-based student achievement (e.g., classroom technology). • Adjusting to educational program changes (e.g., preschool expansion). • Improving buildings that did not receive major improvements during the Schools First program. Note: Examples include, but are not limited to, the projects in italics

To develop the five year plan, individual projects were weighted using a priority list. The higher the priority, the higher the weighting. To help alleviate potential overcrowding, schools with large enrollment growth and classroom addition needs were placed on the list before other buildings. As part of the planning process, the Chief Operating Officer met with district administration to include an overall district vision in planning and also met with individual building administrators, who had already met with their staff, to develop a needs list for buildings targeted for renovation. Once this list was complete, a five year plan with a ten year vision was established.

This initial five year plan (FY 2010 - FY 2015) was broken into three phases; all projects from Phase 1, 2, and 3 have been completed. To minimize inflationary increases, the Board approved the sale of Revenue Bonds in FY 2014 for Phase 3 projects. The district sold $8.8 million in bank-qualified bonds in December 2013 and $70.7 million in non-bank qualified bonds in May 2014. Common projects completed in Phases 1 -3 of Students First include additions, asbestos abatement, data and communications upgrades, new exterior doors and windows, mechanical/electrical upgrades, security additions, and improved student drop-offs. The chart on the following page outlines the common projects completed. In addition to the common projects outlined in the chart, the following Phase 1 -3 projects were completed:

• Jesse Franklin Taylor EC – New building • Edmunds ES – New elementary school to replace the original Edmunds building. • Brody MS – Kitchen and restroom improvements; new elevator. • McCombs MS – Bleacher replacement.

page 281 Five Year Plan: Part II (FY 2016 – FY 2020) The Superintendent’s Facility Advisory Committee began meeting in 2013 to develop a new five year plan to cover FY 2016 - 2020. In this work, the committee reviewed the Students First program to date, maintenance and operations data, operational costs, the demographic study, school boundaries, and the district facility needs assessment (Board agenda item 14-039). The new five year plan maintains the priorities established by the Revenue Purpose Statement approved by voters in 2009. Under the new five year plan, schools will be revisited to provide “like spaces” at all buildings, and flexibility is included in the plan with contingencies to adjust to growth, matching contributions, etc. The plan presented to the Board outlines work that will be completed over the course of the next five years; however, all projects will come back to the Board individually for review and approval. An archive of reviewed and approved plans can be found online. Under the new five year plan, approximately $30 million will be spent each year. Over the course of the five years, more than 60 facilities will be impacted by the new five year plan.

As noted, FY 2020 will be the final year of the current five year plan. The district conducted a needs assessment listing which identified more than $300 million in needs. The district is in the process of finalizing the next five-year plan based on the results of the needs assessment for FY 2021-25. Schools, staff, and the Superintendent’s Facility Advisory Committee (SFAC) submit their requests for building needs to the Chief Operations Officer. The COO then reviews and submits the list of needs to the SFAC. The SFAC then decides which projects to include in the next five-year plan based on the SFAC and Community approved priorities within the district’s revenue purpose statement and within available budget based on needs such as increasing safety, replacing obsolete, inefficient or worn-out systems, upgrading technology, etc. Once this list is complete and presented to the SFAC, the Operations Directors then meet to prioritize the projects and assign a timeline. In efforts to stay ahead of inflation increases the goal is to accelerate the project timeline to provide additional opportunities for students sooner by completing more projects in the first few years of the next five-year plan.

page 294 Physical, Plant, and Equipment Levy (PPEL) PPEL funds are used for purposes such as energy improvements, payment of energy and QZAB notes, building repairs and improvements, musical instruments, ADA compliance, security upgrades, property acquisition, buses, abatement of hazardous materials, emergency repairs, telecommunications equipment, technology, and purchases of vehicles and other large equipment.

The district forecasts a repair and maintenance schedule by building a five-year (minimum) district- wide cycle for flooring, masonry, painting, paving, and roofing projects. Within the five-year PPEL plan, the district plans out a robust plan for years one – three; some project areas remain to be prioritized for years four and five. In addition to the forecasted paving needs by school, the district also allocates an additional $100,000 per year for emergency paving repairs. Painting costs are budgeted for a total of $400,000 per year for the entire district, rather than per school. There is not a set schedule for emergency, HVAC, asbestos abatement, contingency, and other projects; repairs and maintenance for these areas are completed as the need arises. The district allocates a specific amount to these categories each fiscal year; the amount takes into account previous expenses. Finally, $800,000 is budgeted each year to buy new busses.

page 299 IMPACT OF CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

Ongoing expenses for existing and new mechanical and control systems are paid for out of the General or Special Revenue funds. For example, installation of a new elevator requires regular maintenance and inspection; the installation of grease interceptors necessitates quarterly pumping and cleaning; and CO2 sensors must be calibrated quarterly. Capital improvements have necessitated additional training for personnel, but there has not been an impact on FTE. While these improvements have resulted in recurring maintenance costs, they have also improved the health and safety of the school building environment.

Creating Centers for 21st Century Learning Renovations and capital investments are bringing improvements — large and small — to schools in every neighborhood in Des Moines. And that means improvements in the quality of education for students. From the construction of new schools to the renovation of historic structures to a wide array of facility upgrades, capital investments are helping ensure every school building in Des Moines is prepared for education in the 21st century.

The basics-first approach of the Students First program means all students have access to the essentials: new windows and doors, safer drop-off areas for students, updated lighting, improved technology capabilities, air conditioning, and upgraded mechanical and electrical systems. Highlights of the impact capital investments — from decreased energy use to increased security measures — have had in the district are included on the following pages.

page 300 Air Conditioning Increased In Iowa, the lack of air conditioning can create dangerous conditions due to extreme heat situations. Early dismissal of classes due to heat are a thing of the past as district is at 100% air-conditioned classrooms. These mechanical and electrical upgrades not only provide for more comfortable and efficient classrooms, but the increased and improved ventilation also provides for healthier spaces in which students learn. While the number of air conditioned classrooms has increased by 35% as compared to 2008, the district’s energy consumption has decreased by 34% over the same period.

Open Classrooms Eliminated “Open classrooms” were a popular trend in education in the 1970s, and many schools built during that time adopted the open classroom philosophy. However, it was soon realized that such schools were distracting for teachers and students alike. For the past 30 years, schools have created ad-hoc walls from bookcases and other available materials. Renovation projects in Des Moines have created more traditional, yet modern, classrooms at schools which were originally “open,” giving students and teachers a better learning environment with fewer disruptions to classes. The photo on the left shows an elementary classroom with makeshift walls, compared to the bright, airy classrooms in the Edmunds building shown on the right.

Safety and Security Measures The safety and security of students and staff was a top priority identified by the Superintendent’s Facilities Advisory Committee. True to that goal, renovation projects have put safety and security front and center in both the renovation of existing buildings and the construction of new schools. Examples of security measures implemented include new secure entrances, intruder locks for classrooms, access control systems at all schools, and a 651% increase in the number of security cameras. All buildings now have at least one security card access point, and all buildings have at least one security camera.

The use of modular classrooms has also been reduced through construction efforts. Temporary buildings used as modular classrooms create two issues. First, students must leave the school building to attend class, creating a potential security issue. Second, modular units are inefficient to heat and cool, making them more expensive to operate than a typical classroom. Des Moines Public Schools has reduced the number of modular units used by 94% from 34 units in 2008 to two units.

page 301 Technology Improved With each passing year, technology plays a bigger and bigger role in the work of teachers and the education of students. For example, more than 35,000 computers and 8,000 tablets are used in Des Moines Public Schools.

Consequently, the improved use of and access to technology has been a major component of the district’s recent capital investments. Technology upgrades have included infrastructure, wireless and hard wired systems, IP phone and PA systems, and updated teacher computers and student labs.

DMPS taken steps to upgrade the district’s network infrastructure and equipment for current and future needs. Making the network more efficient brings a wide range of benefits to the district, including improved communication, data sharing, and cost savings. The district has taken steps to have the ability to increase bandwidth capacity to 10 GB (10,000 MB), which will provide a faster, more reliable network across the school district. This is a vital component to implementing additional technology in the classrooms. Ultimately, a stronger network — coupled with additional devices — will allow students to participate in online assessments as a part of Core Curriculum requirements.

DMPS achieved 100% managed wireless capacity in all building. Managed wireless enables the entire network to be managed from a single station, rather than having to physically go to or log into each device. In addition, buildings have been saturated with the latest wireless technologies that will allow up to 30 wireless devices per classroom, preparing schools for future 1:1 computer or tablet initiatives.

New technology is paid for from multiple funds, including the General Fund, Activity Fund, Child Care Funds, Federal Funding, Food Service Fund, PERL Fund, PPEL Fund, SAVE Fund, Special Education, and State Categorical funds. At a minimum, the district has one computer lab per elementary school, two labs per middle school, and up to three labs per high school, in addition to providing a laptop for every teacher.

Improved Building Efficiencies & Environmental Stewardship Schools are the center of a community, affording opportunities to model energy efficiency practices and to provide quality education and learning environments for students, staff, and the community. Managers in commercial and institutional facilities use the phrase “triple bottom line” to describe an initiative’s impact on building occupants, the environment, and an organization’s finances. For Des Moines Public Schools, students, energy efficiency, and environmental stewardship are top of mind for managers before, during, and after every building renovation and system upgrade undertaken.

page 302 Energy Conservation The Students First program pushed the district to develop and implement efficiencies district-wide, from micro strategies regarding personal habits to macro strategies such as forward-thinking construction methods. At the micro level, personal appliances (e.g., mini-fridges) have been removed, lights and computers are turned off when not used, and each school has an energy plan.

At the macro level, the school district has tackled numerous renovations and mechanical and electrical upgrades. While it takes dedication and hard work to modify historic structures into efficient energy models, DMPS is committed to accomplishing this goal and strives to be an environmental leader. One of the first steps the district takes before starting these projects is to benchmark energy use. Benchmarking has helped identify the poorest energy-performing schools, enabling the district to target the most inefficient buildings first.

Energy efficiency is a priority for capital investment projects, and ENERGY STAR designation is one of the goals of every major renovation project. With the average age of buildings exceeding 60 years, DMPS is committed to improving energy efficiency through equipment and system upgrades. Through aggressive bonding measures, the district has been able to accelerate renovation plans and is nearing the end of major construction/renovation projects. However, DMPS is committed to a continuous process of improvement and is unwilling to become stagnant, particularly in the areas of energy management and conservation. Consequently, the district is revisiting schools to re-evaluate overall building system effectiveness and implement smaller conservations projects. This is being done by engaging a testing and balancing contractor to assess the operation of building systems. This work is being done in conjunction with the application of the EPA’s Energy Saving Plus Health Guidelines, with the results being both improved energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

Mechanical Systems The district has aggressively replaced mechanical systems in schools in buildings. Where possible, a building’s heating and cooling systems are retrofitted with geothermal systems, replacing traditional boiler systems. In addition, the district undertook efforts to rehabilitate the geothermal ground loops at six buildings to increase efficiencies, reduce mechanical wear, and improve occupant comfort.

page 303 When a geothermal system is not feasible, outdated boilers are replaced with energy-efficient ones. Another key component to the district’s HVAC upgrades is building controls, particularly replacing pneumatic controls with direct-digital- control (DDC) technology, which has allowed the district to create temperature set points, set back temperatures for unoccupied periods, and implement staggered equipment startup to avoid peak demand charges. The new controls tie into the district’s building-automation system, which allows the district to control equipment that previously was controlled at the building level. The building automation system allows the district to schedule equipment to run when needed and cycle off when not needed. The district is also able to implement a 2-3 degree set back at night and over weekends to save energy. In addition, some ventilation equipment can be shut down during times when classrooms are unoccupied.

Lighting One of the major areas of focus over the past few years has been lighting. Previously, the district invested in new lighting infrastructure and transitioned from T12 to reduced-wattage T8 fixtures and lamps. The district has since standardized to LED lighting for all future interior lighting replacement work. Facility management also converted all exterior light fixtures on district buildings to high-efficiency LED devices, specifically ENERGY STAR-equipment, which can last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The transition to LED has improved building efficiencies and also increased site security. Many installed lights feature integrated occupancy sensors with bi-level dimming capabilities. This permits the fixtures to operate with very low electricity consumptions (less than 10 watts in some cases) when motion in the vicinity of the fixture is not detected. When active movement occurs near these fixtures, light levels temporarily increase to provide additional illumination and discourage unwanted behaviors. On average, electricity consumption for exterior lighting has been reduced by more than 50%. The photos to the right show before (T) and after (B) the switch to LED exterior lighting at King elementary.

Renovation designs also maximize natural lighting to decrease the use of artificial lights. For example, the library renovation at Moore incorporated a wall of windows. In addition to reducing

page 304 energy requirements and bettering the bottom line, studies have reported that natural light can have an impact on the attitude, performance, and well-being of people in various settings.

The building renovations, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and change in habits undertaken by district have resulted in positive outcomes. Over the past several years, the district has substantially reduced its utilities costs and energy consumption. The cumulative energy savings have allowed the district to direct more funding toward educational programming.

Environmental Stewardship The district also leads by example on environmental issues. For example, water retention is built into every renovation plan the district undertakes. Every plan includes storm water retention ponds to capture excess run off and maintain it on site. DMPS has also implemented rain gardens in many of the renovation projects over the past few years.

In addition, the district has taken various steps to decrease landfill waste and increase recycling efforts, including:

• Implementing single stream recycling and purchasing additional classroom and large recycling containers for each school. • Reducing the size of the waste receptacles and increasing the size of recycling receptacles for several schools. • Implementing milk carton recycling. • Recycling florescent bulbs in all district buildings and all light ballasts when replaced. When major lighting upgrades are completed, the district works hard to make sure all recyclable materials are recycled and not sent to landfill. • Collecting and disposing of all chemicals from science labs and maintenance areas according to regulations. • Scrapping out metal from broken desks and other furniture.

page 305 DEBT

The district does not have any general obligation debt, nor does the district have any plans to issue general obligation debt in the future. Through difficult financial times and economic uncertainty, the district has been able to manage without having to issue general obligation debt. This is a testament to the discipline of the district to continue to improve the educational environment without sacrificing long-term financial resources.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS & REVENUE BONDING

The Iowa legislature enacted a statewide one-cent sales tax to benefit school districts across Iowa in 2008, and the governor signed it into law that same year. A Revenue Purpose Statement indicating how this funding could be used by the district was approved by voters on September 9, 2009.

In most cases, a district incurs long-term debt for capital projects, and the amounts are often sizable. There are several options for financing capital projects that have both pros and cons:

Type of Financing Applications Positive Points Negative Points Pay As You Go Recurring expenses No interest issuance Not normally feasible Pay for projects with or small projects. costs; lesser demands for larger projects; current, recurring revenues on management’s possible slow during the life of the project. time and shorter timeframe in period necessary to completing projects: initiate projects.

One of the priorities of the district’s Revenue Purpose Statement was to introduce money-saving strategies, and one strategy evaluated by the district was the sale of revenue bonds to minimize the impact of inflation on renovation and construction budgets. A bond credit rating assesses the credit worthiness of governmental debt issues and is a financial indication to potential investors of debt securities. Bond credit ratings are assigned by credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s.

The bond rating process is a comprehensive analysis of the district’s financial practices and performances (past and current). Forecasts of future performance and projected long-term planning practices are also reviewed. The following data is typically requested and analyzed by the bond rating agencies:

Board & District Management Goals & Objectives Major employers in the Des Moines area Strategic planning Contingency planning / healthy reserve balances Local economic climate Budget documents / performance to budget Major programs Trends of demographic / economic information Financial policies and procedures Projections of future performance Major initiatives Capital improvement program Financial audits

page 307 Standard & Poor’s top four rating categories (AAA, AA, A, BBB) are generally regarded as eligible for bank investment (AAA is the highest rating). An obligation rated AA+ differs from the highest– rated obligations only slightly. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. An obligation rated A+ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economics conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories; however, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

Fitch Duff & Phelps uses a rating system very similar to that of Standard & Poor’s. “+” or “-” may be appended to ratings by Fitch to denote relative status within a major rating category. Fitch also considers the historical and prospective financial condition, quality of management, operating performance of the issuer and of any guarantor, any special features of a specific issue or guarantee, the issue’s relationship to other obligations of the issuer, as well as the likelihood of developments in the economic and political environment that might affect the issuer’s financial strength and credit quality.

Moody’s bond ratings range from Aaa (highest quality) to C (lowest quality) for long term obligations. Moody’s applies numerical modifiers 1-high, 2-mid, 3-low in each generic rating classification from Aa to Caa.

Des Moines Public schools has maintained excellent ratings for many years. The district’s most recent (April 5, 2018) bond ratings are:

page 308 Bonding Analysis Prior to bonding, the district worked with its external financial and investment advisory group, PFM, to evaluate the feasibility and benefits/drawbacks of bonding to fund the district’s Students First SAVE program. According to the report developed by PFM, there were two critical areas in which issuing revenue bonds could serve as a major benefit to completing school infrastructure projects: project timing and construction cost savings.

Project Timing Revenue bonds allow the school district to leverage future Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) revenues to complete projects today. Several years ago, DMPS completed construction and renovation projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. While that was a fine slogan, it tied district’s hands by limiting spending to only the renovation revenues received each year. This annual revenue constraint required the district to delay projects. As illustrated in the graphs below, the Bonding Program will enable the district to complete construction projects up to six years faster compared to the pay-as-you-go approach.

CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE: BONDING PROGRAM Construction Cost Savings 60000000 A Pay-As-You-Go In addition to improving project timing, the report also indicated that through bonding, the district 50000000 program would have could significantly impact construction costs. Each year a construction project is delayed, overall 40000000 delayed projects up construction costs increase. Industry literature suggested constructionto six costs years. have increased up to 7% just30000000 in the past year. However, to be conservative, the analysis assumed a 5% projected construction cost20000000 inflation rate for each year a project is delayed. 10000000 As illustrated in the graph below, total construction costs were projected to be approximately $48 0 million less when financed through revenue bonds and cash-on-hand. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Bonding Phase 1 Construction Costs Phase 2 Construction Costs Phase 3 Construction Costs Phase 4 Construction Costs Phase 5 Construction Costs

*Based on a 5% construction cost inflation rate.

One of the priorities of the Revenue Purpose Statement was to introduce money-saving strategies, and armed with this analysis, the school district aggressively bonded ahead for the Students First program. Issuing revenue bonds has allowed the district to complete more school projects, while saving tax dollars. The bonding program has provided additional opportunities to students as quickly as possible, while at the same time getting the most “bang for the buck” from tax dollars. Issuing revenue bonds — paid for by the revenue from the statewide sales tax, not property taxes — has allowed DMPS to:

• Minimize inflationary increases on a portion of the construction program. • Add flexibility to the construction schedule. • Develop the most optimal construction plan. • Lock up a portion of the revenue stream for debt service (and/or projects). • Move up projects to benefit students earlier. • Lock in projects at a borrowing cost lower than the average inflationary factor. • Continue the plan created by the Superintendent’s Facilities Advisory Committee. • Continue to provide operational efficiencies that will have a direct impact on the general fund in the form of reduced energy costs. The School Board approved the sale of $70 million in Sales Tax Revenue Bonds in March 2010, a second round for $71.9 million in March 2012, a third round in December 2013 for $8.8 million, and a fourth round in May 2014 for $61.9 million. The district refunded the Series 2010 revenue bonds (with a call date of June 1, 2018) with the Series 2016 Bonds, which saved the district $14.8 million; restructured payments will save an additional million dollars. The district and PFM will monitor future options for the series 2012, 2013, and 2014 all the call dates are closer.

page 310 With the passage of House File 546, which extended the Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) the program through 2050, the district will evaluate the benefits of bonding ahead for future capital improvement projects.

Current Debt Levels The total principal outstanding bond debt at the end of FY 2019 will be approximately $174,670 million, consisting entirely of revenue bonds. Beginning in December 2010 and continuing through June 2029, principal and interest payments will be made on these debts. As required by Iowa law, funds are transferred from the SAVE and PPEL funds to the Debt Service Fund to make principal and interest payments as they come due.

There is no legal debt limit on revenue bonds, only a coverage requirement limitation that is set as part of the issuing resolution.

The district utilizes a parity test to determine what the current revenues will yield within the coverage requirements. The current coverage requirement for the district’s sales tax bonds is at least 1.25 times. This means the revenues must be at least 125% of the maximum annual debt service in any upcoming year.

The district performed the following calculation to determine the district is within the coverage requirement:

FY 2019 Estimated Sales Tax Revenues = $31,911,353 FY 2019 Maximum Annual Debt Service = $23,095,026 Current Debt Service Coverage = 1.38 times

Given the fact that the district is well within the current coverage requirement, there are not any anticipated issues in meeting the coverage requirement on either a current or ongoing basis.

Debt service includes only principal and interest on bonded indebtedness. The debt service category includes amounts paid by the district directly, as well as those paid on behalf of the district by the county or city. Many districts have both types. This category does not include principal or interest payments on notes, which are usually issued for shorter terms and for more immediate purposes.

page 311 Debt Limit Article XI, Section 3 of the Iowa Constitution limits the amount of debt outstanding at any time of any county, municipality, or other political subdivision to no more than 5% of the actual value of all taxable property within the corporate limits, as taken from the last certified state and county tax list. The debt limit for the district as of June 30, 2019 (most recent) is as follows:

Net Valuation for Debt Limit Purposes $12,796,130,290 Legal Debt Limit of 5% 0.05 Legal Debt Limit $638,806,515 Less: General Obligation Debt Subject to Limit ($0) Less: District’s School Infrastructure Sales, Services, and Use Tax Bonds ($190,685,000) * Net Debt Limit $448,121,515 *It has not been determined whether or not the district’s School Infrastructure Sales, Services, and Use Tax Bonds do or do not count against the constitutional debt limit; therefore, the district included it above for presentation purposes. If these are not counted, the net debt limit would be $638,806,515.

page 313 DISCLOSURES

POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Plan Description The District sponsors a single-employer health care plan that provides three self-funded medical plans including prescription drug benefits to all active and retired employees and their eligible dependents. Retiree coverage begins for employees who have attained age 55 prior to the beginning of the subsequent contract year and have at least 10 consecutive contract years of employment and continues until the retiree is Medicare eligible at age 65. The plan is administered by the District and the District has the authority to establish or amend the plan provisions or contribution requirements within the sections of the Code. The plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report.

Funding Policy The current funding policy of the District is to pay health claims as they occur through internal allocated funds. For employees who retired on or before June 30, 2002, the District provides a 100 percent subsidy to the full cost of coverage for both retiree and dependent coverage. For employees who retire on or after June 30, 2002, Des Moines School District provides no subsidy. The health insurance plan contributions on behalf of employees are established and amended through negotiation by management and the union and governed by the District’s union contracts.

The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing. For fiscal year 2019, the District contributed $1,406,697. Retiree and active members receiving benefits contributed through their required monthly contributions of:

Rate Tier FY 2019 Alliance Select FY 2019 Blue Access Employee 563.75 543.72 Employee + One 1,075.18 1,036.98 Family 1,713.80 1,652.91

Annual OPEB Cost & Net OPEB Obligation The district’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed 30 years. The net OPEB obligation would be resolved by the fund that incurred the compensation and then the General Fund, once the fund is exhausted.

page 314 The following table shows the components of the district’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actuarially contributed to the plan, and changes in the district’s annual OPEB obligation:

Total OPEB Liability as of June 30, 2018 $69,452,570 Change for the year: Service Cost 5,612,753 Interest 2,877,808 Change in benefit terms (4,273,106) Differences between expected and actual (16,056,500) experience Changes in Assumptions or Other Inputs (10,863,757) Contributions & Payments Made (1,406,697)

Total OPEB Liability as of June 30, 2019 $45,343,071

Sensitivity of the Total OPEB Liability to Changes The district adopted GASB Statement 75 during FY17 as a result it had an impact to the total OPEB liability.

The following presents the approximate total OPEB liability of the district, as well as what the district’s approximate total OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (2.5 percent) or 1-percentage-point higher (4.5 percent) than the current discount rate: 1% Decrease Discount Rate 1% Increase (2.5%) (3.5%) (4.5%) Total OPEB Liability $ 49,280,511 $ 45,343,071 $ 41,168,494

The following presents the approximate total OPEB liability of the district, as well as what the district’s approximate total OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using healthcare cost trend rates that are 1-percentage-point lower (5.50 percent decreasing to 3.50 percent) or 1-percentage- point higher (7.50 percent decreasing to 5.50 percent) than the current healthcare cost trend rates:

Healthcare Costs 1% Decrease Discount Rate 1% Increase (5.50% decreasing to (6.50% decreasing to (7.50% decreasing to 3.50%) 4.50%) 5.50 %) Total OPEB Liability $ 35,741,821 $ 45,343,071 $ 51,919,715

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the health care cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements in the district’s most

page 315 recent CAFR, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

Actuarial Methods & Assumptions Projections and benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and included in the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.

At June 30, 2019 the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Current Retirees, beneficiaries and dependents 146 Current Active Members, fully eligible for benefits 876 Current Active Members, not yet fully eligible for benefits 4,008 5,030

The district’s total OPEB liability of $45,343,071 was measured as of June 30, 2019 and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.

The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2019 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified: Inflation - 3.00% Salary increases - 2.00% Discount rate - 3.50% Healthcare cost trend rates - 6.0% for medical and prescription benefits for 2019 and 4.5% for administrative fees for 2019, decreasing 0.50% per year to an ultimate rate of 4.00% for 2022 and later years

Fund Balance: In the governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows: Amounts which cannot be spent either because they are in a nonspendable form Nonspendable or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Amounts restricted to specific purposes when constraints placed on the use of the Restricted resources are either externally imposed by creditors, grantors, or state or federal laws or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Amounts which can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints formally imposed by the Board through resolution approved prior to year-end. Committed Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose, unless the Board removes or changes the specified use by taking the same action it employed to commit those amounts. Amounts constrained by the district’s intent to use them for a specific purpose. It is the district’s policy that the authority to assign fund balance has been delegated Assigned by the district’s Board of Directors to the Chief Financial Officer and Controller, through the adoption of the budget. All amounts not included in other spendable classifications. The General Fund is the only fund that would report a positive amount in unassigned fund balance. Unassigned Residual deficit amounts of the governmental funds would also be reported as unassigned. When an expenditure is incurred in governmental funds which can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the district’s procedure is to pay the expenditure from restricted fund balance and then from less-restrictive classifications – committed, assigned, and then unassigned fund balances.

ENROLLMENT

For more 100 years, DMPS, accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges and the Iowa Department of Education, has educated hundreds of thousands of children in Iowa’s capital city. Peak enrollment in recent history occurred in 2001-02, followed by seven years of declining enrollment. Currently, 32,607 students are educated in DMPS, which surpasses the previous FY 2002 peak. Using a simple regression analysis, the Iowa Department of Education projects district enrollment for four years beyond the current school year.

While the Iowa Department of Education is projecting a continued enrollment growth, the district is budgeting under the assumption that as in the 2018-19 school year, enrollment will decrease for the next four years. This district is basing this assumption on an analysis of live births of Des Moines residents. The analysis indicated that during the Great Recession citizens of Des Moines has fewer babies; the lower birth rate is impacting enrollment at the elementary level. The lower birth rate coupled with decreased enrollment from refugees and immigrants has led the district to budget under the assumption that there will be 250 students enrolled each year for the next four years.

In addition to serving students in grades K-12, the district also has a robust Early Childhood program. DMPS Early Childhood programs provide quality learning experiences to help promote the growth of young children and their families. This is done by offering free, quality preschool with several options to best meet the needs of families, including a variety of locations, class times, and half- or full-day plans. All DMPS preschool programs adhere to state and national program standards to facilitate the district goal of improving Kindergarten readiness.

There are a number of preschool options for families in Des Moines: Universal Preschool — A state-funded program designed to provide voluntary, universal access to high-quality preschool education programs for the state’s four-year-olds. This is the largest DMPS preschool program. Classrooms are located throughout Des Moines in neighborhood elementary schools, DMPS Education Centers, and partner locations.

Head Start — A federally-funded comprehensive child development program that serves income- eligible children ages three to five and their families. The Des Moines Head Start program is a delegate of the Drake University Head Start program.

page 321 Shared Visions — The district is the recipient of three grants from the Iowa Department of Education to implement the Shared Visions program at preschool programs located in three Des Moines elementary schools: McKinley, Capitol View, and Moulton. The Shared Visions preschool program provides comprehensive quality preschool program experiences for at-risk children who are ages three to five years.

Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) — Services are available for eligible children three to five years of age. ECSE staff assist in the identification, assessment, and development of an Individualized Educational Plan for eligible children. A continuum of services are available, tailored to meet the individual needs of each student, including integrated classroom settings with Head Start, Universal Preschool, and self-contained programming. ECSE classrooms are located throughout Des Moines in neighborhood elementary schools and in DMPS Education Centers.

Nearly 2,000 students were enrolled in preschool programs through a variety of funding sources in 2019-20. Students in Des Moines participate in early childhood education programs in district buildings or in partnering religious, childcare, and other organizations.

page 326 STUDENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Graduation and Dropout Rates School improvement efforts across the district are having a real impact in Des Moines Public Schools. Beginning with the graduating class of 2009, graduation rates in Iowa have been calculated with a new formula established by the U.S. Department of Education. Unique student identification numbers are assigned to ninth-grade students, allowing school districts to carefully account for students as they move through high school. At the state level, the method helps determine when a student graduates, even if the student has moved to a different district in Iowa during high school.

The 4-year graduation rate for Des Moines has increased eight percentages points since Iowa began using its current graduation rate formula in 2009. The DMPS Class of 2019 had a graduation rate of 83%. The five year graduation rate was 85%.

page 327 Student Proficiency Reading and mathematics assessments are administered to students in grades 3-11 in the spring each year. In 2012, the Iowa Assessments replaced the ITBS and ITED tests students previously took. The Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) replaced the former Iowa Assessments, with students taking the new tests for the first time in spring 2019. English Language Arts and Math tests were given to students in grades 3 through 11. ISASP better reflects what’s being taught in Iowa classrooms and how students are progressing toward the grade-level expectations outlined in Iowa’s academic standards. Because the new state test is more aligned to Iowa’s academic standards, it is more challenging. These results will re-set the baseline for future progress on the new state test. They should not be compared to results from previous years’ Iowa Assessments because the new state test measures Iowa’s academic standards aligned to the appropriate grade level.

The state of Iowa has adopted three performance levels for the ISASP: Advanced, Proficient, and Not-Yet-Proficient. These performance levels were recommended by a committee of Iowa educators and define the range of standard scores for each of the three categories. The standard score is a number that describes a student’s location on the achievement continuum.

Performance Level Descriptor Students performing at the Advanced level demonstrate thorough Advanced competency over the knowledge, skills, and abilities that meet the requirements for their grade level associated with academic readiness for college and careers in the subject. Students performing at the Proficient level demonstrate adequate Proficient competency over the knowledge, skills, and abilities that meet the requirements for their grade level associated with academic readiness for college and careers in the subject area. Students performing at the not-yet-proficient level have not yet Not-Yet- Proficient demonstrated the knowledge and skills to the classified as Proficient.

page 331 IMPACT ON TAXPAYER

The tax rate is based on a per $1,000 of assessed valuation, in most instances, per the Aid and Levy, as determined by the State of Iowa. Using a $100,000 home as an example, a taxpayer would have the following annual obligation:

Calculation: $100,000 home value = 100 x Annual Tax Rate $1,000

FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 $1,799.48 $ 1,842.81 $ 1,850.59 $ 1,856.35 $ 1,860.07 $ 1,861.00 $ 1,861.00

Property Valuations Generally, property tax rates will only change slightly from year-to-year; therefore, fluctuations in revenue from year-to-year are mainly caused by changes in property valuations. The value of property is established by a County Assessor (or the Iowa Department of Revenue) estimating the value of each property, which is called the “assessed value.”

Residential, commercial, and industrial real estate is assessed at 100% of market value, and the Assessor must determine the fair market value of the property. To do this, the Assessor generally uses three approaches:

• Market Approach: Analyze sales of similar properties that were recently sold, and determine the most probable sales price of the property being appraised. • Cost Approach: Estimate how much money at current labor and material prices it would take to replace the property with one similar to it. This is useful when no sales of comparable properties exist. • Income Approach: If the property produces income, such as an apartment or office building, estimate its ability to produce income.

Assessments are conducted in Iowa in odd-numbered years. The new 2017 assessments show that Polk County residential property values increased 8.3% on average, the biggest jump since 2005 and roughly double the increase in 2015. Home values increased slightly more in Des Moines (8.9%), as compared to the rest of the county (8.1%). The increase is a significant upswing over the past decade, when home prices stagnated amid the fallout from the 2008 housing crash. Home values dropped in both 2011 and 2013 before increasing in 2015. Prior to the housing crash, home values in Polk County grew by 10.2% (2001), 10% (2003), and 8.6% (2005).

Agricultural real estate is assessed at 100% of productivity and net earning capacity value. The Assessor considers the productivity and net earning capacity of the property. Agricultural income as reflected by production, prices, expenses, and various local conditions is taken into account.

The utilities/railroad class of property is assessed at the state level.

The Assessor totals the assessed value in each classification (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, or utilities/railroad) and reports it to the County Auditor. Each Assessor sends the reports — called “abstracts” — to the Iowa Department of Revenue. The abstract shows the total taxable values of all real property in each jurisdiction by classification of property, not by individual property. The state then examines total assessed values and equalizes them. A process called “equalization” is applied every two years to ensure that property values are comparable among jurisdictions and according to law. The state compares the Assessors’ abstracts to a “sales assessment ratio study” it has completed independently of the Assessors. If the assessment (by property class) is 5% or more above or below the sales ratio study, the state increases or decreases the assessment. There is no sales ratio study for agricultural and industrial property. Equalization occurs on an entire class of property, not on an individual property. Also, equalization occurs on an assessing jurisdiction basis, not on a statewide basis. Equalization is important as it helps maintain equitable assessments among classes of property and among assessing jurisdictions. This contributes

page 333 to a fairer distribution of state aid, such as aid to schools. It also helps to equally distribute the total tax burden within an area. In addition, an “assessment limitation” is applied every year. This process is commonly called “rollback” and is used to adjust for inflation.

page 336 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT & BONDING

Thanks to community support, Des Moines Public Schools has completed more than $500 million in improvements to district facilities since the turn of the 21st century, from the renovation of historic structures to the construction of brand new facilities. There has been a concentrated effort to improve and replace existing building equipment, improve energy efficiency, and provide a safe, comfortable environment for students.

In 1999, voters in Polk County approve a local one-cent sales tax for school infrastructure improvements. By 2008, voters in all 99 Iowa counties had voted for the local sales tax increase. In 2008, the Iowa legislature enacted a statewide one-cent sales tax — called the Statewide Penny, SWP — to benefit school districts across Iowa to replace the local option sales taxes, and the governor signed it into law that same year. The SWP created a dedicated source of revenue to support improvements to public schools. A Revenue Purpose Statement indicating how this SWP funding could be used by the district was approved by voters on September 9, 2009. In most cases, a district incurs long-term debt for capital projects, and the amounts are often sizable. One of the priorities of the Revenue Purpose Statement was to introduce money-saving strategies, and one strategy enacted by the district has been the sale of revenue bonds to minimize the impact of inflation on renovation and construction budgets. This strategy saves money by getting ahead of the cost of inflation, accelerating the projects schedule, and supporting jobs in the construction trades. Issuing revenue bonds has allowed the district DMPS to complete more school projects, while saving tax dollars, and providing additional opportunities to students. Issuing revenue bonds — paid for by the revenue from the statewide sales tax, not property taxes — has allowed DMPS to:

• Minimize inflationary increases on a portion of the construction program. • Add flexibility to the construction schedule. • Develop the most optimal construction plan. • Lock up a portion of the revenue stream for debt service (and/or projects). • Move up projects to benefit students earlier. • Lock in projects at a borrowing cost lower than the average inflationary factor. • Continue the plan created by the Superintendent’s Facilities Advisory Committee. • Continue to provide operational efficiencies that will have a direct impact on the district’s General Fund in the form of reduced energy costs. The School Board approved the sale of $70 million in Sales Tax Revenue Bonds in March 2010, a second round for $71.9 million in March 2012, a third round in December 2013 for $8.8 million, and a fourth round in May 2014 for $61.9 million. The District refunded the Series 2010 revenue bonds with the Series 2016 Bonds, which saved the district $14.8 million, and restructured payments will save an additional million dollars. The district issued a final round of revenue bonds on May 15, 2018 for $56.2 million to coincide with the program sunset.

page 341 TEN YEAR EMPLOYMENT TRENDS

Economic Crisis During the first years of the 21st century, the country faced tremendously difficult economic times. The Des Moines community was dramatically affected by a deep global, national, state, and local economic crisis. The impact on this district could be seen in falling interest rates on short-term investments and low rates of Supplemental State Aid in State Foundation Aid followed by across- the-board state budget cuts.

Today, Iowa’s economy stands on firm ground as it recovers from the deep recession that began in 2008. A steady employment outlook resulted in Iowa’s unemployment rate increased slightly from 2.5% in December 2018 to 2.9% in December 2018.

The Iowa Legislative Services Agency (LSA) issued its projections for the FY 2021 budget for state of Iowa. The estimates for FY 2021 are based on the following factors and assumptions: The Governor’s FY 2021 budget includes total General Fund resources of $8.474 billion. This includes the December REC estimate of $8.249 billion (estimated growth rate of 2.9%), net revenue adjustment of negative $7.3 million, and $232.6 million in surplus carryforward dollars. The Expenditure Limitation under the Governor’s proposed budget totals $8.383 billion. The Governor is recommending General Fund appropriations totaling $8.093 billion, which is $289.9 million below the Expenditure Limitation. The Governor’s FY 2021 General Fund appropriations budget represents an increase of $342.9 million (4.4%) compared to the Governor’s revised FY 2020 appropriations recommendations. The Governor’s FY 2021 budget results in an estimated surplus of $386.5 million.

page 342 Enrollment & Staffing After the turn of the century, peak enrollment occurred in FY 2002, followed by eight years of declining enrollment. Since 2011-12, DMPS has seen an increase in enrollment, bucking the trend in urban districts nationwide. The 2018-19 was the first year since 2014-15 that enrollment has decreased in the district. This is the fourth straight year the district has had declining enrollment.

page 344 STAFFING ANALYSIS BY THE COUNCIL OF THE GREAT CITY SCHOOLS

In 2012, the district contracted with the Council of the Great City Schools, the nation’s primary coalition of large urban school systems, to study staffing levels in the district and determine whether they were appropriate. The full report can be found at on the district web site.

Among the findings, the report revealed that the district has a higher number of total staff per student and a higher number of teachers per student than the median Council district or district with at least 15,000 students, but a lower number of total staff compared to districts of similar size. Given the district’s low number of school and central administrators, teachers make up a higher percentage of the total district staff than all of the selected comparison districts except one.

In FY 2012, the district implemented student-based formulas to allocate funding according to enrollment of students and student types.

The idea behind student-based allocation is that instead of allocating staff and paying their costs, the district would simply allocate these dollar amounts to each school based on its mix of students. Ideally, the system targets sum funds to certain pupil types according to their different educational needs and the cost to provide services. Every year, as the mix of students at each school changes, so does the allocation, according to the formulas…

In some cases, the district computes the dollar amount by student types in terms of “weights,” reflecting an added percentage increment on top of the base regular education amount. The student types receiving additional “weight” depend on the district but should specify characteristics of students, not programs or services. Districts may find that students who are poor or who have limited English proficiency may require extra funding, but the districts don’t designate participation in a language immersion program or in a magnet school as student characteristic… Student characteristics may include:

• Poverty • Limited English proficiency • Disability • Grade level • Vocationally bound • Gifted • Other vulnerable students (homeless, transient, adjudicated, etc.)”

--Margeurite Rosa and Suzanne Simburg, 2013

The funding formula has impacted how staffing decisions are made, and schools across the district are staffed systematically according to student enrollment and composition. FY 19 culminated a

page 345 months-long review of scheduling at the high school level that increased students’ time in class while saving resources. Master scheduling will continue to be utilized to build student schedules responsive to the educational needs and wants of students resulting in minimal disruption to student choices.

The report from the Council of the Great City Schools also revealed that in 2012, the district was someone understaffed, specific to central administrative and support staff, as compared to similar urban school districts across the country:

It appears that the Des Moines Public Schools is somewhat understaffed compared to other major urban school systems across the country. This understaffing was specific to the number of administrators and support staff—particularly at the central office level. The district has less district administrators and support staff per student and a lower percentage of its staff devoted to district administration than the median of Council district, district with at least 15,000 students, and selected comparison district of similar size.”

--Council of the Great City Schools, Staffing Levels in Des Moines Public Schools (2012).

Armed with this information, the district took steps to adjust staffing levels at the central administrative and support levels. For example, the district changed the structure of central support for elementary and secondary schools.

Staffing Changes for FY 2021 As a district, there will not be large increases or decreases in staffing for FY 2021. The biggest change the district is planning for is the future of alternative education in Des Moines. The creation and expansion of new educational programs for high school students at Des Moines Public Schools has provided the school district with an opportunity to restructure and modernize its approach to alternative education.

Over the past few years, three programs have come online that greatly expand the options available to students and families facing challenges and barriers to earning high school credits and re-engage them so they can earn their diploma. Those programs are:

• FLEX ACADEMY: Flex Academy studios are non-traditional 21st century classrooms that provide students with credit recovery through personalized instructional plans. Students are served in a smaller environment at each comprehensive high school, receiving support services for their needs while working to earn the credits required for graduating high school.

• OPTIONS ACADEMY: Options Academy is a high school program for current or reengaged Des Moines Public Schools students who would like to earn their high school

page 347 diploma by combining their current credits with the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET). In addition to a personalized teaching and learning plan for each student, Options Academy also provides students with career coaching and post-secondary opportunities. The program serves students 17-21 years old.

• VIRTUAL CAMPUS: Virtual Campus is an online high school – designed and taught by DMPS educators – to provide greater equity of access and opportunity for success to all students. Students from throughout Des Moines and across Iowa are able to enroll to take online high school courses. Virtual Campus provides students with chronic safety or legal violations the chance to continue their studies outside of a comprehensive high school.

These programs have seen significant growth in a short amount of time, in large part because they provide more options and greater flexibility rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to meeting alternative educational needs. For example, during its first full year, almost 400 students are enrolled in Virtual Campus while nearly a thousand students participate in the Flex Academy at one of our five comprehensive high schools.

Scavo High School as historically played an important role in our district, serving students with a variety of personal, behavioral and other needs that made attending a traditional high school a challenge. With the growth and development of new programs, this has been the right time for DMPS to look beyond brick-and-mortar solutions for alternative education. For Scavo, that means it will continue to play an important, yet different, role in alternative education at DMPS.

The School Board approved a plan to change the designation of Scavo from a comprehensive high school to an academic program. What that means is, starting with the 2020-21 school year, Scavo Program students will be enrolled at their home high school while doing all or part of their academic work through Scavo. Students will also earn their diploma from their home high school. This arrangement is similar to how Central Academy and Central Campus operate. Scavo will be smaller – with five teachers and a counselor – as more and more students are participating in other alternative programs. Former Scavo faculty members will be offered new positions in the district.

As Iowa’s largest and diverse school district, a goal at DMPS is to recognize the different education needs of our students … and serve them. The growth and development of new options in alternative education programs in recent years is a major step in realizing that goal. This change finds the right balance between the reality of changing enrollments in alternative programs while supporting students who will benefit from what Scavo has to offer.

page 348 The largest employee groups in the district in FY 2020 were certified instructional (i.e., teachers) and operations (i.e., food service, custodial, transportation, and childcare) at 50% and 17% of the workforce, respectively. Staffing ratios for FY 2021 are projected to remain virtually unchanged.

page 352 Employee Compensation The district will continue to hire and retain highly qualified staff and fully fund total compensation agreements. Compensation costs represent 81.5% of the district’s General Fund budget. Components of compensation include salary (including base pay, steps, and longevity), teacher salary supplements, health insurance, payroll taxes, retirement (IPERS or DMTRS), dental and vision insurance, and long-term disability.

As the chart below demonstrates, the compensation package for DMPS teachers was greater than the statewide average package in FY 2008, FY 2009, FY 2010, FY 2013, FY 2014, FY 2015, FY 2016, FY 2018, FY 2019, and FY 2020. (Given teachers comprise 51% of the DMPS workforce, that employee group is used for illustration purposes.)

Compensation Package: Teachers (DMEA) State Average % District Package % FY 2008 4.67% 4.77% FY 2009 4.50% 5.00% FY 2010 3.26% 3.65% FY 2011 2.84% 1.98% FY 2012 3.33% 3.11% FY 2013 3.71% 3.95% FY 2014 3.70% 3.98% FY 2015 3.65% 4.09% FY 2016 2.96% 3.33% FY 2017 3.33% 2.92% FY 2018 2.16% 3.35% FY 2019 1.93% 3.28% FY 2020 2.52% 2.66% FY 2021 2.69% 2.30%

While adequate compensation is always the minimum standard, it is difficult to sustain when state funding is insufficient and grows at historically low rates. In recent years, negotiated increases in compensation packages have been more than the increases in State Foundation Aid, measured by the rate of Supplemental State Aid, thus creating a growing budget gap from one year to the next.
