ISSUE: SBRC Modified Allowable Growth Request
Environmental Hazard Removal
CONTACT: Michael Coughlin, Chief Financial Officer
ATTACHMENTS: Schedule of Invoices
BACKGROUND:
Iowa Code Section 257.31 grants Iowa schools the authority to request modified allowable
growth from the School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) due to unusual circumstances that
constitute a need for additional funding. Waterloo Community School District has such unusual
circumstances for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 through December 31, 2019 and is
therefore requesting modified allowable growth under 257.31.
This process does not generate any additional funds for the District, but does with approval,
increase the Authorized Budget Unspent Balance and improve the financial health of the district.
In conjunction, this increased allowable growth may be funded by cash reserve levies.
Exhibits are being prepared to address the SBRC in March 2020 for modified allowable growth
for the following circumstances:
For removal, management or abatement of environmental hazards due to state or federal
requirement. Estimated cost of $393,243.23.
THE SUPERINTENDENT’S RECOMMENDATION IS:
“the Board of Education approves the appearance at the School Budget Review Committee to
request modified allowable growth of $393,243.23 for the costs associated with environmental
projects and that this increased allowable growth may be funded by 2020-21 cash reserve levies.
