HARRISON COUNTY SCHOOLS
One of West Virginia’s premier school districts, Harrison County Schools is the 7th largest school
district in the state. There were 10,929 students enrolled as of the second month of the FY 15
school year in pre-school through 12th grade. There are thirteen elementary schools, five
middle schools, five high schools, and one alternative school. There are two additional school
sites, Pressley Ridge and United Technical Center, which serve other educational needs.
Harrison County Schools is a major economic force within this region, with approximately 1,461
regular employees and a payroll of approximately $67 million dollars. Harrison County Schools
is the second largest employer in the county (second to the FBI Center). The county covers 416
square miles and has a population of approximately 69,099 (as per 2010 US Census).
Funds from this budget are used for materials to teach students, transport them to and from
school, feed them breakfast and lunch, and maintain the school buildings and grounds. In
addition, the budget provides salary and benefits for its employees, substitute reimbursement,
staff training and other materials and equipment. Schools are also responsible for maintaining
funds which are kept separate from the funds allocated in the annual budget document.
The following summary provides highlights of the FY 16 budget (July 1, 2015 through June 30,
2016). Please note that throughout the budget document the fiscal year will be referenced by
FY followed by the ending digits of the year.
ORGANIZATION
The Harrison County Board of Education (Board) is a corporation created under the authority of
West Virginia Code §18-5-1 et seq. and is composed of five members nominated and elected by
the voters of the county for four-year terms. The Board is responsible for the supervision and
control of the county school district, subject to State statutes and the rules and regulation of
the West Virginia State Board of Education.
The executive and administrative functions of Harrison County Schools are mostly traditional
and are organized into line and staff relationships that define official spans of authority and
communication channels. However, there are many cross-departmental relationships that
exist. The board members and top administrators are listed on the following page.

ACCOUNTING BASIS
GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) Statement 14 establishes the criteria for
determining the governmental reporting entity and the component units that should be
included within the reporting entity. Under provisions of this statement, the School Board is
considered to be a primary government, since it is a separate legal entity, has its own elected
governing body, and is fiscally independent of other local governments. The School Board has
no component units, defined by GASB Statement 14 as other legally separate organizations for
which the elected board members are financially accountable.
The activities of the board are recorded in separate funds. Each fund is a separate set of selfbalancing accounts, which comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue, and
expenditures. The following fund types are maintained: General Current Expense Fund, Excess
Levy Fund, Special Revenue Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Agency Funds. The General
Current Expense and Excess Levy Funds are the main operating funds of the Board. The Special
Revenue Fund accounts for all revenues attributable to state and federal grants and other
revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes. The Capital
Projects Fund accounts for specific capital building projects.
This budget does not include agency funds, which are used to account for assets that the Board
holds for others in an agency capacity. These agencies include the United Technical Center,
which is a multi-county vocational school and the Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA)
that provides a variety of educational and technical services to schools. These budgets are
created and approved by their respective governing boards, which are distinctly separate from
the Harrison County Board of Education, which is why they are not included with this budget
document. The Harrison County Board of Education is solely responsible for the accounting
processes and not budgetary matters.
The Chart of Accounts presents a listing of the account codes that are used by all county boards
of educations in the State of West Virginia for financial accounting and reporting purposes. The
account codes have been designed to align closely with the account codes presented by the
National Center of Education Statistics (NCES). The chart of accounts allows for the
classification of financial transactions to facilitate the accumulation of revenues, expenditures
and balance sheet accounts in the categories needed for required reports. They include (in
order) fund, project, revenue source/program function/or balance sheet, object, location, cost
center, subject, and expansion.
Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrance accounting, under
which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are
recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an
extension of the formal budgetary process. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are
reported in the appropriate fund balance category (restricted, committed or assigned) since
Harrison County Schools Preliminary Budget FY 16

they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be honored
during the subsequent year.
The governing body of each county board of education is responsible for the purchasing,
receiving, safeguarding and disposal of all goods and services. This authority has been
delegated to the Superintendent, the Treasurer, and the Purchasing Director. The West Virginia
Department of Education Policy 8200 promulgates the rules for purchasing and can be
reviewed at the following web address:
http://apps.sos.wv.gov/adlaw/csr/readfile.aspx?DocId=23899&Format=PDF
In addition, Harrison County Board of Education Policy 2206 and Policy 2210 establishes
additional purchasing guidelines as required by WVDE Policy 8200. The Board participates in
the WV State Purchasing Card Program (P-Card) which allows the board to receive the highest
possible rebate offered to local governments (rebate schedules fluctuate with amount of
expenditures). This process allows for an efficient method for streamlining the payment
process while continuing meeting the established internal controls for procurement and
payment of goods and services. It has reduced the volume of accounts payable transactions
and associated administrative costs and has added discretionary funds for future expenditure.
Harrison County Board of Education Policy 2213 further addresses the use of the P-Card.
The Board is exposed to various risks or loss related to torts, theft, or damage to and
destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The
School Board, pursuant to the provisions of State law, participates in the following risk
management programs administered by the State.
The School Board participates in the West Virginia Board of Risk and Insurance Management
(BRIM), a common risk insurance pool for all State agencies, component units, boards of
education and other local governmental agencies who wish to participate. The School Board
pays an annual premium to BRIM for its general insurance coverage. Fund underwriting and
rate setting policies are established by BRIM. The cost of all coverage as determined by BRIM is
paid by the participants. The BRIM risk pool retains the risk of the first $2 million per property
event and purchases excess insurance on losses above that level. BRIM has $1 million per
occurrence coverage maximum on all third-party liability claims.
The School Board provides employees health and basic life insurance benefits through the
Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA). PEIA was established by the State of West Virginia
to provide a program of health and life insurance for employees of State agencies, institutions
of higher learning, boards of education, and component units of the State. In addition, local
governmental agencies and certain charitable and public service organizations may request to
Harrison County Schools Preliminary Budget FY 16

be covered. PEIA provides a general employee benefit insurance program which includes
hospital, surgical, major medical, prescription drug and basic life and accidental death. Fund
underwriting and rate setting policies are established by the PEIA Finance Board. The cost of all
coverage as determined by the Finance Board is paid by the participants. Beginning July 1,
2015, large employers, such as the Harrison County School Board, are required to expand
health insurance coverage to individuals who work on average 30 hours or more per week and
their dependents (excluding spouses).
The board also offers dental and vision coverage through a self-insured plan that is
administered by American Benefit Corporation. This benefit, which has minimal cost to
employees, is funded by the excess levy.
Traveler’s Insurance Company provides worker’s compensation coverage to the Harrison
County Board of Education. The cost of all coverage as determined by Traveler’s Insurance
Company is paid by the Board and they retain the risk related to the compensation of injured
employees under the program. Worker’s Compensation is budgeted in the amount of
$624,565, but may increase when all of the special revenue projects are developed in detail.
BUDGET PROCESS
Harrison County Schools utilizes the budget/financial process to help meet the county goals and
objectives by providing funding in the areas of need that are identified throughout the budget.
The budget is tied closely to the county board’s strategic plan in meeting the educational goals
and objectives, particularly with the grant funds reported within the Special Revenue Fund.
All boards of education within West Virginia are required by statute to prepare annual budgets
and levy rate estimates on prescribed forms and submit these for approval. Budgets are
presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting for all governmental funds but do not
include amounts for other post-employment benefits billed by Public Employee Insurance
Agency (PEIA) beyond the retiree subsidy (pay-as-you go) amount because only the retiree
subsidy amounts are required to be remitted according to WVC 5-16d-6(e). The following
procedures are followed in preparing the annual budget:
1. Pursuant to State statute, the School Board is required to hold a meeting or meetings
between the seventh and twenty-eighth days of March to ascertain its financial condition
and to determine the amount that is to be raised from the levy of taxes for the fiscal year
commencing July 1. The School Board adjourns the meeting and submits its Schedule of
Proposed Levy Rates to the State Auditor’s Office for approval. The School Board then
reconvenes its meeting on the third Tuesday of April to formally lay the approved levy.
Harrison County Schools Preliminary Budget FY 16

2. The School Board is also required to submit its proposed budget for the subsequent year
to the State Board of Education for approval by the date established in the budget calendar.
The School Board is also required to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget before it
is submitted for approval. The proposed budget must be made available for public
inspection for at least 10 days before the public hearing is held.
Revisions to the budget are authorized only with the prior written approval of the WVDE.
According to the requirements of West Virginia Code §18-9B-10 county boards of education
may expend funds or incur obligations only in accordance with the approved budget and
expenditure schedule, and make transfers between items of appropriation or expenditure only
with the prior written approval of the State Board of School Finance, whose duties have been
transferred to the State Board (WVDE). In addition, the U.S. Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR) contains requirements that local education agencies (LEAs) must follow in
revising their approved budgets of federal programs.
With exception to the required salaries and fringe benefits, each department head is
responsible for requesting and managing their budgets. Allocations are made based on
historical expenditures, needs, and requested funds.
Budget requests may be submitted by each department head and other outside agencies.
Schools and other interested parties, such as local school improvement councils (LSICs) are also
encouraged to submit budget requests through the school principal. Budget requests are
reviewed by the Superintendent and his administrative staff, and the Board of Education
Members.
There are two local board policies that address budgeting: Policy File 2101 Budget Preparation
Procedures and Policy File 2102 Excess Levy Budget Planning – Staff Involvement (school
allocations for excess levy funds only). Policy 2101 requires input from the board,
administrative staff, teachers, service personnel and the public when formulating the budget.
Policy 2102 dictates the procedures for schools to involve different representation when
formulating excess levy fund expenditures at the school level.
Any changes to the proposed budget after its adoption will be processed through the normal
supplement and transfer procedures established by the West Virginia Department of Education
(WVDE).

MISSION AND GOALS
The mission of the Harrison County Schools is to achieve excellence in education, through
partnership with home and community, so that each student becomes
•
a life-long learner
• a responsible citizen
• a productive member of society.
Harrison County Schools’ core beliefs reflect the system’s commitment to achieve educational
excellence and include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
All students can succeed.
Education is the shared responsibility of the school, families, and community.
All schools should provide a healthy, safe, and drug-free environment.
Everyone can be a lifelong learner and productive citizen.
Everyone should demonstrate positive character, civility, and integrity.
Harrison County Schools offers its students the finest in educational programming through a
well-planned, comprehensive curriculum which is designed to meet the needs of all students at
each developmental level.
The Elementary Curriculum (K-5) begins with a dynamic, activity-oriented kindergarten program
which introduces students to the wonders of their environment, gives them an appreciation for
others and provides them with successful learning experiences.
The program in grades 1-5 emphasizes activities through curricular and instructional practices
that assure our young people leave the fifth grade able to read, write and solve mathematical
problems. Learning occurs primarily through themes, projects and individualized learning
opportunities that teachers plan to reflect children's interests and suggestions. The curriculum
focuses on exploration, discovery and hands-on experiences. The learning process incorporates
continuous progress while accommodating all learning styles, interests, developmental levels
and needs, and involves a mix of individual, small group and whole group activities.
Expanding on the creative learning that takes place in thirteen elementary schools, the Middle
School Curriculum continues to meet student needs as they make the transition from
elementary to high school. It offers concentrated instruction in the basic skills and gives
particular attention to forming a sound academic foundation needed to meet the high
expectations of our high schools. An advisor-advisee program maximizes contact between the
students and their teachers. The teachers in interdisciplinary teams plan deliver and assess
effective and exciting units of instruction. Exploratory classes expose students to new areas
that would not have been as effective with traditional junior high scheduling. Reading is
offered and emphasized throughout the middle school program as are multi-age grouping and
interest-based instruction.
Harrison County Schools Preliminary Budget FY 16

During the eighth grade, students, with their guidance counselors and parents, develop a four
year high school plan in one of three flexible programs, each of which leads to twenty-eight
units of credit and graduation.
The Adolescent Curriculum (9-12) offers students high quality programs which maintain high
academic standards and expectations, allowing students choices as they prepare for productive
careers. Every graduate will have the competencies necessary to succeed in the world of work
or in post-secondary education.
A Strategic Planning Committee has been established and is comprised of representation from
all major stakeholders in the educational community. Committee members participate in a mid
and end of year review of the actions steps to determine the extent of coverage and to
determine which action steps to retain, revise, expand, and add to achieve our goals. In
addition, focus groups provide an opportunity for professional growth and development.
Harrison County’s Parent Advisory Committee also meets to offer input and suggestions for
programs. The strategic plan is on file in the Superintendent’s Office for review.
In addition to the employment of necessary personnel and routine facility maintenance needs,
the following is a list of our goals that can be aligned and matched to the budget requests
beginning on page 104.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The total FY 16 budget for all funds is estimated at $123,175,688. This includes:
General Current Expense Fund $79,968,344
Excess Levy Fund $25,518,241
Special Revenue Fund $17,689,103
The Capital Project Fund is not included in the preliminary budget because these projects are
supplemented as they are received through the normal budget supplement process. Any
projects that remain in that fund are re-established after the financial statements have been
prepared. Of the budgeted amount for FY 16, approximately 65% is allocated for the general
current expense fund, 21% for the excess levy fund, and 14% is for the special revenue fund.
FY 14 BUDGET

Capital Projects (no preliminary
amount)
The FY 16 budget includes revenue funds comprised of taxes, local, state, and federal funds,
and other/inter-fund transfers. Taxes and state funds make up a large portion of the general
current expense fund while state and federal funds are the main funding sources for the Special
Revenue Fund. Excess levy funds are all derived from tax collections. Capital improvement
funds, when included, consist mostly of state grants and inter-fund transfers from the general
current expense fund. Other financing sources such as indirect costs and inter-fund transfers
are also included as revenue. It should be noted that some special revenue fund grants are
not included in the preliminary budget. These amounts are supplemented into the budget after
the preliminary budget is adopted.
In addition to salaries and benefits, funds are used to pay for the maintenance of facilities,
transportation costs, utilities, services, insurance, supplies, textbooks, and equipment. Federal
dollars support more targeted areas such as Child Nutrition, Title I and Special Education.
Specifics of each fund included in the preliminary budget follow.

GENERAL CURRENT EXPENSE
General Current Expense Fund - Summary of Revenue
The General Current Expense Fund is the operating fund (combined with the Excess Levy Fund)
of the Board and accounts for all revenues and expenditures not encompassed within other
funds. The General Current Expense Fund deals with the general tax revenues and state funds
allocated by the West Virginia state legislature. It also includes local and federal funds that are
not obligated for specific purposes. The total general current expense fund budget for FY 16 is
$79,968,344.
The total regular taxes budgeted in FY 16 is $22,822,484. This amount is established by
applying the rates set by the WV Legislature to the assessed property values. Of the regular
taxes levied in FY 16, $20,598,318 is deducted for the local share of the Public School Support
Program (PSSP). This local share amount is subtracted from the total basic foundation
allowance to determine the State’s share that is appropriated to each county. Amounts are
also budgeted for prior year and supplemental tax collections in the amount of $1,300,000.
Miscellaneous local revenue includes $5,000 for tuition, $100,000 interest earned, $39,000
building rentals, $200,000 well proceeds, and other sources of local funds in the amount of
$790,000. State support is evidenced by the Public School Support Program (PSSP) allocation
of $36,293,428 and the state contributions for both public employee health insurance and
retirement, in the amounts of $8,591,800 and $4,231,632, respectively. Federal
reimbursement for the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs in which four of our
five high schools participate is budgeted in the amount of $120,000. Indirect costs are also
budgeted in the amount of $275,000.
Medicaid reimbursement for services provided in the public schools is budgeted in the amount
of $1,200,000. The future of Medicaid reimbursements is uncertain. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2013, Medicaid school-based health services revenue was recognized in accordance
with fee-for-service billing as in prior years by the Board. It appears that CMS has approved
West Virginia’s School Based Health Services State Plan Amendment on November 25, 2014
with an effective date of July 1, 2014; however changes have and will be made to fee for service
billings. There will also be an annual cost settlement that will compare the county’s computed
cost based on the Random Moment Time Study (RMTS) against the Fee-for-Service billing paid.
It is uncertain how this will affect the amount of funds received by the board at this time.
As per directive from the WVDE, retirement funds paid on behalf of the board by the WVDE
have not been included in the preliminary budget. This amount will be added during the year
as a budget supplement and will show as a budget adjustment on the annual financial
statements. This exclusion, which amounted to $12,596,343 in FY 15, drastically affects
comparison of the total budget from FY 15 to FY 16.

Lastly, the beginning fund balance, which is an estimated carryover amount from FY 15, is
budgeted in the amount of $4,000,000 and balances the FY 16 budget. The following chart

Notable items from the previous chart and below include:
• Excess levy fund taxes were included in FY 12 in the amounts of $20,674,864.
• Extraordinary revenue was reported in FY 12 that transferred the portion of the OPEB liability
•
•
•
•
•
attributable to personnel funded by the state school support program to the State of WV.
Accrued local revenue is only for financial reporting purposes.
The beginning balance is included for budgetary purposes only.
FY 15 is the first year that the preliminary budget reflected proceeds from the Marcellus well. A
lesser amount is predicted for FY 16 due to present revenue collections.
FY 16 does not include the For/On Behalf State funds for retirement. These funds will be
supplemented into the budget during the year rather than included in the beginning budget as
per directive from the WVDE. This is a difference of approximately $12,596,343 when compared
to FY 15.
The total budget declined $11,176,294. The budget would have reflected an increase of
$1,420,049 if the For/On Behalf State funds for retirement would have remained in the
preliminary budget amounts for FY 16.

General Current Expense – Summary of Expenditures by Function Code
The majority of employee salaries (87%) are funded in the general current expense fund. There
are approximately 875 (of 955) professional employees, including teachers, professional
support staff, and administrators, and 399 (of 506) service employees funded in the general
current expense fund as reported on the 2015 certified list. Salaries and benefits account for
82% of the general current expense fund and 60% of the excess levy fund. Approximately $8.9
million of salaries attributed to the general current expense fund is transferred to the excess
levy fund to pay for the unfunded positions. The remaining funds in the general current
expense fund are used to pay for the maintenance of facilities, transportation costs, utilities,
services, insurance, supplies, and equipment.
Instructional programs include salaries, benefits and fixed costs for regular education teachers,
special education teachers and aides, vocational education teachers, kindergarten and
preschool teachers and aides, substitutes, travel, and extra student ratio supplements. Also
included are the driver’s education car rental costs and repairs in the amount of $19,500.
As per board policy, mileage reimbursement has been set to equal the state reimbursement
rate, which is currently .47 cents per mile for all employees. Travel is allocated throughout the
various program accounts.
A stipend of $1,000 is included for special education teachers for Medicaid billing services.
Certain personal care aides also receive a stipend of $500 for Medicaid billing services. The
total amount budgeted for Medicaid billing services is $231,884, which is included within the
instruction, support service student, and transportation sections of the budget. The future of
Medicaid reimbursements as they are calculated now is uncertain due to the changes being
dictated by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Other instructional programs include funding for ESL (English as a Second Language), and
alternative (at risk) education programs, such as the alternative school, homebound services
and after school detention. The total ESL program cost is budgeted for $236,813. Not all costs
that directly relate to alternative education are budgeted in the instructional programs. The
total in this series is $619,039, however, other costs integral to the alternative school are
budgeted in applicable support service function codes (general administration, school
administration, O&M plant etc.). The costs associated with regular homebound services are
budgeted in the amount of $41,318. This is slightly higher than last year’s budget amount.
Homebound services for special education students are provided by restricted state funding in
the special revenue fund. After school detention for middle and high schools is budgeted in the
amount of $2,800 per middle school and $5,180 per high school. The addition of elementary
after school detention is new this year in the amount of $2,800 per school. The total after
school detention cost is $76,300 excluding fixed costs.

* FY 12 includes excess levy funds totaling $26,978,697 that were not separated into a distinct fund until FY 13.
Note that the decrease in FY 16 is mostly attributable to the exclusion of the unfunded retirement paid on the board’s behalf.
The WVDE has changed the reporting requirements for this item. It is no longer included in the preliminary budget amounts
beginning in FY 16. FY 15 included $12,596,343 as the unfunded retirement amount which was prorated into each function
code.

EXCESS LEVY FUNDS
Excess Levy Funds – Summary of Revenue
The FY 16 excess levy proceeds provide $25,518,241 in tax collections. This amount is
determined by applying the rates that were established on November 2, 2010 to the current
assessed tax values as provided by the county assessor. Additional revenues collected may be
used for any of the stated levy call items or for the enrichment supplementation and
improvement of educational services and/or facilities. These collections do not exceed 104% of
prior year collections, excluding new property amounts as specified in the levy call thus
eliminating the need to reduce rates.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUND
Capital Project Fund- Summary of Revenue
The capital project fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures of specific capital building
projects. Revenues in the Capital Project Fund typically include School Building Authority (SBA)
grants and other large construction projects.
Recent projects include the South Harrison High School field house and bleacher project, the
new Liberty Athletic Complex, construction a new Lumberport Elementary School (SBA project)
and an addition at Nutter Fort Elementary School (SBA Project). In addition, the Board has
completed a SBA Major Improvement Plan (MIP) grant for construction of a six classroom
addition and the replacement of the kitchen and dining room at Simpson Elementary School.
The Board contributed $1.7 million and the SBA contributed $1 million towards this project. It
should be noted that excess levy proceeds allow the board to contribute local funds to these
types of facility projects.
Construction of the new Lincoln Middle School, which replaced Lumberport Middle School, was
completed in 2015. This new school was built on the existing Lincoln High School campus and
shares the kitchen and cafeteria area with the high school. This new facility was constructed
using the design-build delivery method. The Board contributed approximately $6,000,000 to
match the SBA share of $8,197,000. Of the local match, $2 million was in the form of a
Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB).
Lastly, the board entered into an $6 million Energy Savings Lease Purchase that will replace
outdated existing lighting systems in all schools as well as minor HVAC upgrades. The amount
of this payment is $576,599/year; however, this payment may be offset with guaranteed utility
savings.

Other Facility Information
The Harrison County Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan is intended to serve the county
school system in making decisions related to school facilities over the next ten year period.
The CEFP was developed by a county wide planning committee representing a broad-based
section of communities, parents, businesses, and educational professionals. This plan was
Harrison County Schools Preliminary Budget FY 16
49
developed using a collection of demographic information, historic and projected enrollments,
school facility evaluations, and other pertinent data.
The CEFP plan document was approved by the Harrison County Board of Education on April 16,
2010 and amended October 18, 2011. This plan will be used to prioritize many projects. The
Comprehensive Educational Facility Plan (CEFP) for 2010-2020 calls for several replacement
schools and numerous facility upgrades/repairs. Most of these projects require substantial
funding and will probably necessitate the passage of the school bond for completion. Bond
funds, which would be obtained by a majority of voters during a special election, may be
necessary for funding new schools. There are also funds available for “NEEDS” projects through
the School Building Authority.

TAXES
West Virginia property taxes are administered by county officials and officials of several State
government agencies. Although the Department of Tax and Revenue plays a major role in the
administration of this tax, less than one-half of one percent of the property tax collected goes
to State government. The primary beneficiaries of the property tax are county boards of
education.
West Virginia law defines the following classes of property for tax purposes:
Class I
•
•
•
Class II
•
•
All tangible personal property used exclusively in agriculture, including horticulture
and grazing;
All products of agriculture, including livestock, while owned by the producer, and
All notes, bonds, bills, and accounts receivable, stocks and any other intangible
personal property
All property owned, used and occupied by the owner exclusively for residential
purposes, and
All farms, including land used for horticulture and grazing, which are occupied and
cultivated by their owners or bona fide tenants
Class III
Class IV
All real and personal property situated outside of municipalities, exclusive of
Classes I and II
All real and personal property situated inside of municipalities, exclusive of
Classes I and II

The current expense rates that are applied to the assessed property values are established by
the West Virginia Legislature. The excess levy rates were established by the voters in Harrison
County on November 2, 2010 and are in effect for the period of July 2011 through June 2016.
The excess levy call includes a roll-back feature to limit the increase of taxes received to 104%
from the prior year using the assessed values for reduced (rolled back) levy rates, which
excludes values attributable to back-tax property, homestead property, new construction and
improvements, new personal, or new utilities properties. The excess levy projections exceed
the original levy call by $5,749,556 for FY 16. These excess collections are expended in
categories already included in the levy call.
Class I property includes agricultural property and intangible personal property. Class II
property includes residential property and farms, Class III and IV is all real and personal
property exclusive of Classes I and II.

BUDGET FORECAST
The carryover fund balance of the general current expense fund, which should be of most
concern to the board, consists of the unassigned fund balance plus the OPEB liability (because
it is not required to be remitted to the state). This balance was formerly referred to as the
unreserved fund balance. The “unreserved fund balance” or “carryover fund balance” has
annually exceeded $1 million dollars since the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000.

Carryover Fund Balance
The carryover fund balance is expected to decrease or remain low in the future if major facility
projects continue to be addressed without a bond for funding. These carryover funds are used
to help balance the payroll expenditures in the following year, as well as have funds set aside
for contingency and/or matching SBA facility funds.
Lastly, the WVDE recommends that 3-5% of the budget be placed into contingency. However,
the Board currently has no funds for contingencies. If additional funds become available after
the financial statements have been completed, it will be recommended that these funds be
supplemented into the contingency line item.
The excess levy supports the employment of staff in addition to what is funded by the state. It
is important that the board keep employment numbers from increasing. However, as
enrollment decreases in the county, the number of personnel funded by the state also
decreases, which increases the cost of staffing in the excess levy. Reductions in Force for
personnel have been avoided by using attrition and placing employees on the transfer list.
Major facility expenditures also contribute to the lack of contingency funds set aside. These
expenditures include significant contributions of local funds to match School Building Authority
grants. In addition, the board has also used local dollars for numerous athletic complex
enhancements that are not supported by SBA grant funds. The board currently maintains six
separate athletic complexes in the county.

Although it is difficult to forecast revenues and expenditures beyond the current year, the
following chart is an attempt to demonstrate future ending balances. Many uncontrolled
factors affect each year’s revenue and expenditures. Tax collections, state raises and benefit
changes, unfunded mandates and inflation are some of the examples that affect both revenues
and expenditures of which the board has no control. In addition, the staff relies on the board
for many decisions that have a financial impact on future years which cannot be predicted in
these forecasted amounts. The following chart represents ACTUAL revenues and expenditures
from FY 11 through FY 14, budget amounts for FY 15 and FY 16 and projected amounts for FY 17
through FY 19 using a growth trend analysis whereby y=b*m^x. This projection does not take
into consideration large construction projects.

STUDENT INFORMATION
ENROLLMENT
Enrollment continues to be a concern in Harrison County. There was a total increase of 30
students for a total of 10,929 in FY 15. It should be noted that FY 15 was the first time since at
in many years that the enrollment increased. This difference of 30 students represented a .27%
increase for Harrison County Schools. The total enrollment for the state of West Virginia was
279,899, which was less than what was reported last year by approximately 1,114 students
which illustrates that enrollment losses are a state wide concern.
The FY 14 graduation rate for Harrison County Schools is 82% compared to the state rate of
84%. The FY 14 dropout rate for Harrison County Schools is 1.4% compared to the state rate of
1.3%. The FY 14 attendance rate for Harrison County Schools is 97% compared to 96.6% for the
state.
Currently, Harrison County Schools is the 7th largest school district in WV based on enrollment,
recently being topped by Monongalia County. There are thirteen elementary schools, five
middle schools, five high schools, and one alternative school. There are also two additional
school sites that serve other educational needs of the county, but do not materially affect the
student enrollment numbers.

According to the US Census, the population in Harrison County has increased only .7% since the
2000 census. Both the state population and the U.S. population are aging, but their paths of
aging are different. Between 2000 and 2010, the old and young portions of the U.S. population
both grew, but the old grew faster. In West Virginia, however, the older population grew while
the young population declined. Reasons for the decline in West Virginia’s young population
include the aging of Baby Boomers, a decline in births, and outmigration. As the Baby Boomers
have gotten older, the 5-24 age group and 25-44 age group have declined since 1970. In 2010,
the Baby Boomers made the 45-64 age group the largest, and now they are getting to move
into the group of people older than 65. West Virginia births declined rapidly from 1980 to 2000
and then leveled off, while deaths increased slightly. The birth and death rates are about even
now.
Only eight West Virginia counties are expected to have growth in the population from birth to
age 19 between 2010 and 2020. They include: Jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan, Hampshire, Hardy,
Monongalia, Putnam and Cabell. Dr. Christiadi, a demographer with WVU’s Bureau of Business
and Economic Research, concluded that West Virginia’s young population, from birth to 19, is
expected to continue to decline over the next decade; maintaining enrollment in kindergarten
through 12th grade will be a challenge; and counties with declining enrollment should expect to
see continued decline in enrollment.

PERSONNEL
Every county board of education is required to submit annually an employment report, referred
to as the certified list, which lists every regular full-time employee. The data is used to
calculate each county board’s allowance under the Public School Support Program (PSSP). The
PSSP provides an allowance to pay the annual state minimum salary and supplemental equity
for professional educators (PE), limited to a range of 72.25-72.70/1,000 students in net
enrollment or the number of PE actually employed, and a range of 65.95-66.21/1,000 students
in net enrollment for professional instructional (PI) personnel. Net enrollment is the number of
students enrolled in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve and special education programs in
the public schools of a county, reported on a full time equivalency (FTE) basis.
The PSSP also provides support for the state minimum salary and supplemental equity for
service personnel (SP), limited to a range of 44.12-45.83/1,000 students in net enrollment or
the number of SP actually employed. The PSSP also provides for the county’s approximate
share of contributions for social security, unemployment compensation and workers’
compensation on the salaries determined above. Salaries and benefits not included in the PSSP
calculation are the county’s responsibility to fund.

The number of employee’s in excess of the funding formula is directly related to the
enrollment. If the enrollment declines, the number of employee’s exceeding the formula will
increase even if there is no change in the number of employees.

Public Retirement Board, as well as health and optional life insurance through the Public Employees
Insurance Agency. The Board has self-insured dental/optical insurance as provided by the excess levy
with a third party provider, American Benefit Corporation with eligible employees paying a small fee for
coverage. Employees may also elect hearing insurance, provided by the State of WV, for an additional
premium.

estate, and often new investment (new or rehabilitated buildings, for example). This increased
site value and investment creates more taxable property, which increases tax revenues. The
increased tax revenues are the "tax increment." Tax Increment Financing dedicates that
increased revenue to finance debt issued to pay for the project. TIF is designed to channel
funding toward improvements in distressed or underdeveloped areas where development
would not otherwise occur. TIF creates funding for public projects that may otherwise be
