District financial data
According to the Ohio Department of Education, “A forecast is somewhat like a painting of the future based upon a snapshot of today. That snapshot, however, will be adjusted and the further into the future the forecast extends, the more likely it is that the projections will deviate from actual experience. A variety of events will ultimately impact the latter years of the forecast, such as state budgets (adopted every two years), tax levies (new/renewal/ replacement), salary increases, or businesses moving in or out of the district. The five-year forecast is viewed as a key management tool and must be updated periodically. In Ohio, most school districts understand how they will manage their finances in the current year. The five-year forecast encourages district management teams to examine future years’ projections and identify when challenges will arise. This then helps district management to be proactive in meeting those challenges. School districts are encouraged to update their forecasts with ODE when events take place that will significantly change their forecast or, at a minimum, when required under statute.
“In a financial forecast, the numbers only tell a small part of the story. For the numbers to be meaningful, the reader must review and consider the Assumptions to the Financial Forecast before drawing conclusions or using the data as a basis for other calculations. The assumptions are very important to understanding the rationale of the numbers, particularly when a significant increase or decrease is reflected.”
Interested readers can find more information about five-year forecasts on the Ohio Department of Education’s website.
Purposes and objectives of the five-year forecast
There are three purposes or objectives of the five-year forecast:
- To engage the local board of education and the community in long-range planning and discussions of financial issues facing the school district
- To serve as a basis for determining the school district’s ability to sign the certificate required by O.R.C. 5705.412, commonly known as the “412 certificate”
- To provide a method for the Department of Education and Auditor of State to identify schools districts with potential financial problems
Ohio Revised Code and Ohio Administrative Code requirements
O.R.C. 5705.391 and O.A.C. 3301-92-04 require a Board of Education (BOE) to submit a five-year projection of operational revenues and expenditures along with assumptions to the Department of Education prior to Oct. 31 of each fiscal year and to update this forecast between April 1 and May 31 of each fiscal year. ODE encourages school districts to update their forecast whenever events take place that will significantly change the forecast.
Required funds to be included in the forecast are:
- General funds (001)
- Any special cost center associated with general fund money
- Emergency levy funds (016)
- Any debt service (002) activity that would otherwise have gone to the general fund
- Education Jobs Fund (504)
For Pickerington Schools, this forecast is required to consider the general fund and the other special cost centers associated with general fund money. Additionally, a small portion of Ed Jobs funding, which was provided by the federal government via stimulus funding, is also included for fiscal year 2013.
The following definitions will assist readers as they read the assumptions to the forecast or take part in discussions about the forecast.
Definitions
412 Certificates – ORC 5705.412 requires the treasurer, superintendent, and president of the board of education to certify that adequate revenues will be available to maintain all personnel and programs for the current fiscal year and for a number of days in the succeeding fiscal years. 412 Certificates must be attached to:
- Appropriations for the current fiscal year
- Qualifying contracts covering the term of contract
- Wage and salary schedule for the term of contract
- Negotiated agreement(s) and contracts for benefits
Encumbrances – Money obligated to pay for any purchase. An end of year encumbrance is money obligated in the current fiscal year to be paid in the next fiscal year.
Expenditures – The spending of any public money for a specified purpose as approved by the BOE policy and procedures.
Fiscal Year – In education and state government, the fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30, and each fiscal year is dated by the ending date. Example: FY12 would start July 1, 2011 and end June 30, 2012.
Revenues – Receipts generated from property taxes, school district income taxes, state foundation formula, and local monies (such as donations, fees, tuition, etc.).
Finally, since the preparation of a meaningful five-year forecast is as much an art as it is a science and entails many intricacies, it is recommended that you email Pickerington Schools Treasurer/Chief Fiscal Officer Ryan Jenkins, or call him at (614) 833-2110 to discuss any questions you may have.

Financial news and resources
The Ohio Department of Education recently released the Pickerington Schools FY20 Financials. Follow this link to interactively view this data on the Ohio Department of Education web site.
ODE is required to rank districts by the amount, and percentage, of expenditures on classroom instruction.
For the 2019-2020 school year, Pickerington Schools spent 70.6% of operating expenses on classroom instruction ($6,949/pupil classroom, $2,888/pupil non-classroom). Pickerington Schools’ ranking for the 2019-2020 school year is 7th out of 15 districts in our comparison group. The full statewide list of schools can be found by clicking on this sentence.
A look at our district expenditure report as a whole district for 2019-2020 can be found here.
A look at our district expenditure report by building for 2019-2020 can be found here.
Additionally, ODE ranks districts on spending and performance. ODE seeks to answer this question: what is the relationship of average spending per student to performance, and how does that compare to similar districts and schools? When compared to other districts in our comparison grouping, Pickerington Schools ranks 6th out of 15 districts with a Performance Index score of 76.6 (note this data is skewed by the Coronavirus Pandemic and its affects on statewide testing in the spring of 2020).
More information about Expenditure Standards:
The ODE website offers a table that shows what each category of expenditure means.
It is also important to note that the new expenditure standards calculate both the “historical” expenditure per pupil (EPP) and the newer measure called the expenditure per equivalent pupil (EPEP). The rankings on the report cards are based on expenditures per equivalent pupil (EPEP).
EPP is calculated by dividing total expenditures by ADM, where each student counts the same, whereas EPEP is calculated by dividing expenditures by weighted ADM, where harder-to-serve students can be given a higher mathematical weight.
The weights are calculated in the same manner used for the fiscal benchmark report, to count as greater than 1.0 FTE students who are in special education, are economically disadvantaged, or are English language learners.
Economically disadvantaged extra weight: w=(P/A)*0.1*N, where
- P= percent of district’s ADM reported as eligible for free or reduced price lunch
- A= average statewide percent of ADM reported as eligible for free or reduced price lunch
- N= ADM reported as eligible for free or reduced price lunch
English learners extra weight: Reported EL ADM *0.2906
Special education extra weight: Reported ADM in each category * weight for that category
- Disability Category 1 weight: 0.2906
- Disability Category 2 weight: 0.7374
- Disability Category 3 weight: 1.7716
- Disability Category 4 weight: 2.3646
- Disability Category 5 weight: 3.2022
- Disability Category 6 weight: 4.7205
Finally, the expenditure reports break the data into various expenditure categories as follows:
- Instruction. Activities dealing with the interaction of teachers and students in the classroom, home, or hospital as well as co-curricular activities. Includes teachers and instructional aides or assistants engaged in regular instruction, special education, and vocational education programs. Excludes adult education programs.
- Pupil support services. Expenditures for administrative, guidance, health, and logistical support that enhance instruction. Includes attendance, social work, student accounting, counseling, student appraisal, information, record maintenance, and placement services. Also includes medical, dental, nursing, psychological, and speech services.
- Instructional staff support services. Expenditures for supervision of instruction service improvements, curriculum development, instructional staff training, academic assessment, and media, library, and instruction-related technology services.
- General administration. Expenditures for board of education and executive administration (office of the superintendent) services.
- School administration. Expenditure for the office of the principal services.
- Operation and maintenance of plant. Expenditures for buildings services (heating, electricity, air conditioning, property insurance), care and upkeep of grounds and equipment, nonstudent transportation vehicle operation and maintenance, and security services.
- Pupil transportation. Expenditure for vehicle operation, monitoring riders, and vehicle servicing and maintenance.
- Other and non-specified support services. Business support expenditures for fiscal services (budgeting, receiving and disbursing funds, payroll, internal auditing, and accounting), purchasing, warehousing, supply distribution, printing, publishing, and duplicating services. Also include central support expenditures for planning, research and development, evaluation, information, management services, and expenditures for other support services not included elsewhere.
- Food services. Gross expenditure for cafeteria operations including the purchase of food.
- Enterprise operations. Non-instructional expenditures for business-like activities where the costs are recouped largely with user charges.
- Other elementary-secondary non-instructional. Expenditure for other elementary-secondary non-instructional activities not related to food services or enterprise operations.
- Community services. Expenditure for providing non-education services such as, operation of a swimming pool, public library, programs for the elderly, and child care centers.
- Adult education. Expenditures for basic adult education classes, such as GED or high school equivalency.
- Other non-elementary-secondary programs. All other non-elementary/secondary programs such as any post-secondary programs for adults.
- Construction. Capital expenditures for construction of fixed assets.
- Land and existing structures. Capital expenditures for the purchase of land and existing buildings and grounds.
- Equipment: instructional. Capital expenditures for instructional equipment.
- Equipment: other. Capital expenditures for non-instructional equipment.
- Payments to other governments. Category used only at statewide level.
- Interest on debt.
Calculations of EPP are also available on ODE’s website. For the pupil amounts, the district’s expenditures are divided by ADM (average daily membership), which is calculated from year-end student-by-student data reported via EMIS in period N. The students are counted by educating district or school, not resident district. FTE equivalents are calculated for students attending multiple schools, or partial year, or part-time status. Pre-school special education students are included, but other pre-school students and all adult education students are excluded. The calculations mirror the procedure for determining expenditure flow model (EFM) ADM calculations from past years.
