DATE OF SUBMITTAL: June 27, 2018 MEETING DATE: June 28, 2018 TO: Catherine Payne, Chairperson FROM: Sione Thompson, Executive Director AGENDA ITEM:

• V. Presentation and Action on Commission’s Operation Budget for Fiscal Year

2018‐19 I. DESCRIPTION Presentation on the State Public Charter School Commission’s (“Commission”) Fiscal Year (FY) 2018‐19 Operating Budget. II. AUTHORITY Legislative appropriations set the maximum limits for operating expenditures. Under Act 99, SLH 2014, the Commission’s general fund appropriation is provided as a separate line item referred to as (“EDN 612”). Since the establishment of the EDN 612 program ID, the Legislature has provided 16.12 general funded, permanent full time equivalent (FTE) positions, 1.12 federally funded FTE positions, and $1.5 million to support the Commission’s operations. In addition to general fund appropriation, the Commission anticipates funding from the Preschool Development Grant to offset indirect costs supported by the Commission office. III. PRESENTATION Exhibit 1 summarizes the Commission’s general fund operating budget for FY 2018‐19 and provides the estimated expenses for the 2017‐2018 fiscal year, which closes on June 30, 2018. Exhibit 1 also includes the approved budgeted cost items from the Commission’s FY2017‐2018 budget.

2 This past legislative session, a 1.0 permanent FTE position, funded at $50,000, was added to the Commission’s budget under Program ID, EDN 612. This is the first increase in funding that the Commission has received since its inception. Current budget estimates include state general funding for personnel services in the amount of approximately $1,050,000 (approximately 72 percent of the total budget). This results in an

• perating budget of about $500,000 in general funds.

The Commission does receive funding from the Pre‐school Development Grant to cover indirect

• costs. Indirect costs include administrative services, physical plant needs, and other
• perational/functional needs (IT services, communication services, etc..). For FY2018‐2019, the

total funding will be approximately $155,000. While the budget is aligned to the Commission’s spending targets for next fiscal year, it remains subject to any future budget restrictions. Commission staff will update and make budget adjustments as the office continues to improve operational efficiency.

3 Areas of the proposed 2018‐2019 budget to highlight include the following:  Telecommunication Costs (Object Code 3801), Internet Service (5402), and Contracted Services‐ Technology Services (7101) are budgeted high than previous years since the Commission office will now utilize a dedicated IT provider for internal IT services.  Contracted Services‐ Technology Services (7101) include the IT services provided by the dedicated IT provider, NetEnterprise, and the annual subscription cost for Epicenter, the Commission’s online compliance management system. Though Epicenter is utilized by public charter schools to manage compliance‐related tasks, the Commission covers the costs for this system entirely.  Transportation Intrastate (4200) is budgeted higher for the upcoming year to allow for additional Commission meetings on the neighbor islands. The costs of the March Commission meeting held in Kona were approximately $2200, which included 7 Commissioners and 4 staff members.  Other Travel (4700) are the costs for neighbor island Commissioners to attend Commission meetings on Oahu. For the upcoming year, there are two Commissioners who live on Hawaii Island.  Contracted Services (7100) costs include payroll processing services from Ceridian, contractors working with the Commission’s Academic Performance manager, consultants assisting the fiscal office with the Commission’s accounting systems.
