MANSFIELD — The Mansfield City School board is set to vote on an updated financial forecast at a rescheduled meeting tonight at 5:30 p.m.
Treasurer Tammy Hamilla is submitting a financial forecast to the state — an unusual move for December — due to the following factors, according to the yet-to-be-voted-on forecast on the district’s website:
- Changes in district income: There will be a decrease in property taxes received due to a property tax relief measure approved by Richland County commissioners.
- Changes in district income: The district has received increased interest on its investments during the first four years of the forecast.
- Changes in personnel services costs: Salaries have changed following negotiations with the district’s three unions.
- Changes in employee health insurance costs and benefits: The district is expecting to decrease employee insurance costs due to a recent change of plans and companies. The district has also seen lower-than-expected unemployment benefit costs after recent staff reductions.
The board will also vote on health insurance participation agreements with its unions, a bus stop list and other routine policy items.
The board will meet in the Lowell T. Smith Boardroom of the Raemelton Administration Building, located at 856 Cook Road.
