Efficient Operations BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Superintendent’s Document DFAA (the Investment Policy) of Orange County Public Schools (the District), this Quarterly Investment Report details the investment holdings for the quarter ending December 31, 2024. The investment policy establishes the investment objectives, in priority order, as (1) Safety of Principal, (2) Liquidity of Funds and (3) Investment Income. SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL – Safety of principal is the primary objective in managing the District’s investment portfolio. Safe investments ensure minimum credit risk (the risk that the investment principal will not be paid due to failure of the security) and minimum market risk (the risk that the principal value will not decrease over the life of the investment as interest rates fluctuate). Minimum risk is attained through diversifying the portfolio with qualified investments, pre-qualifying financial institutions and holding investments until maturity whenever feasible. The safety of the District’s portfolio is attained by using various money market accounts, Qualified Public Depositories and purchasing other qualified investments such as U.S. Treasuries, Government Agencies and Corporate Securities that have stand-alone credit ratings of “A” or better. These investments are all permitted under the investment policy as required by Florida Statutes. LIQUIDITY OF FUNDS – The portfolio must provide sufficient liquidity to meet District needs for payroll and other working capital expenditures. The money market accounts provide the ability to access these funds on a daily basis. All other investments are normally held until maturity, as a primary objective, to avoid loss of investment principal. INVESTMENT INCOME – The District seeks to attain a market rate of return on its investments, while taking into account, investment risk and liquidity needs. The portfolio is limited to lower risk securities as stated in the investment policy. The following information shows the District’s investment holdings as of December 31, 2024.

Consent - Approve Business and Finance Items - (YELLOW CARD) Subject 12.03 Request Approval of the Fixed Asset Deletion and Restoration Report Meeting Feb 25, 2025 - School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approval of the Fixed Asset Deletion and Restoration Report Goals 5. Efficient Operations BACKGROUND: In accordance with Chapter 274.02, Florida Statutes, each governmental unit is required to maintain an adequate record of its fixtures and other TPP (tangible personal property) of a non-consumable nature, the value of which is $1,000 or more and the normal expected life of which is one year or more. The statutes also require a complete physical inventory annually, a comparison of the results of the physical inventory to the perpetual property records, and follow-up action in tracing and reconciling discrepancies. To further strengthen the importance of maintaining property inventories, the Board adopted the Superintendent Document DID which states: loss, damage, theft, or undue depreciation of Board equipment and property will be investigated based on procedures established by a committee comprised of representatives of the Property Accounting, Risk Management, and Legal Services Departments, which will include how to evaluate whether the cause was based on employee, student, or other party’s negligence. If negligence is determined, the employee, student, or other party will be responsible for the expense to the Board for the replacement or repair of the equipment and property. Decisions of this committee are final. For FY25, the district has a total of 283 TPP inventory accounts. District property auditors will conduct the annual physical inventory for changes in property custodians and reviews of inventory records and procedures, including (complete or a random sample) physical inventory of property at selected work locations. Work locations not audited by the district property auditors will conduct a site-based inventory. The Fixed Assets Deletion and Restoration report is submitted to the Board monthly. This report reflects a listing of property transactions reported by various work locations including surplus inventory. These items will need to be deleted from or restored to inventory. A copy of the complete report is available in the office of Property Accounting. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT: School Board Policy DID requires that the Superintendent or her designee ensure corporate assets are not unprotected, inadequately maintained, inappropriately used or unnecessarily risked. Accordingly, the Superintendent or her designee shall not fail to establish and maintain adequate procedures for acquisition and disposal of tangible personal property such that controllable loss at any location does not exceed 1%. Surplus Items recommended for deletion January 14, 2025 - February 9, 2025, total a net book value of $14,537.75. These items will be transferred to another OCPS work site, sold, or otherwise properly disposed of through the surplus warehouse. The FY25 YTD net book value of surplus items total is $40,360.81. Junked or Scrap Items recommended for deletion January 14, 2025 – February 9, 2025, total a net book value of $0.00. This item was disposed of at the work location due to age and condition. The FY25 YTD net book value of junked or scrap items total is $0.00. Stolen Items recommended for deletion January 14, 2025 – February 9, 2025, total a net book value of $0.
