Trustees Conducted a Joint Meeting with the Audit Advisory Committee

Trustees Heard a Presentation on the Annual Independent Auditor’s Report for FY Ending June 30, 2025

Trustees heard a presentation from representatives at Eide Bailly LLP on the fiscal year that ended June 30. Presentation highlights included:

• The audit determined that all financial statements were accurate to a reasonable degree of certainty.
  • Two errors were found and corrected during the audit.
• For reporting prepaid items, CCSD moved from the consumption method to the purchases method, meaning that prepaid expenditures are now counted at the time of purchase rather than when the goods or services are used.
• The net position of CCSD is $1.730 billion. The change in net position is an increase of $253 million.
  • Expenses are $5.280 billion. The current ratio of net position to expenses is generally viewed as financially healthy.
• About 4.24% ($147.4 million) of the general fund budget is unassigned and therefore available to use in response to unexpected situations. This is relatively low but it would be difficult to increase given restrictions under NRS 388G.
• The debt service fund balance is $1.153 billion, which is large enough to pay over two years’ worth of debts. This is considered healthy.
• Accuracy of budget
  • Actual revenue was higher than budgeted revenue by $17.3 million, or about 0.5% above budgeted revenue.
  • Actual expenditures were lower than budgeted expenditures by $326.9 million, or about 10.1% below budgeted expenditures.
• The 2025 Single Audit will be completed once final federal guidance is released.

Trustees Heard a Presentation on Proposed 2026-27 School Start Times and Transportation Scenarios

Trustees heard a presentation regarding a potential districtwide shift of school start times by 30 minutes, as well as transportation scenarios. Highlights of the presentation included:

• A survey of 48,038 students, parent/guardians, school employees, and community members polled opinions about a possible shift in start times.
• There is disagreement over whether later start times would improve student health and academic performance, with students generally being more likely to expect a benefit.
• There is also disagreement over whether later start times would cause challenges, such as conflicts with parent/guardian schedules and time for after-school activities, though, generally, benefits were seen as more likely than challenges.
• Options for shifting start times include both a uniform start time shift across all grade levels and multiple versions of swapping start times among elementary, middle, and high school. Swapping start times would lead to increased bussing costs, while a uniform shift would be cost neutral.
