2023-2024 BUDGET INTRODUCTION
Mission of the Waterford Public Schools Waterford Public Schools is a community of learners that fosters and supports high aspirations, ensuring every student acquires the skills and knowledge necessary to be a responsible citizen, prepared to contribute and succeed in an ever-changing world. Dear Waterford Board of Education Members, Elected Officials, and Community Members: The theme I continue to reiterate in about every setting I am in is that the needs created by the pandemic do not end with the pandemic. I recently wrote an op-ed for The Day newspaper on this very topic which I have included in the budget book. Our students and staff continue to face very real challenges each day as we attempt to move forward. We continue to see a higher prevalence of anxiety, depression, grief, and social isolation in our students. Related to this, we continue to see higher rates of absenteeism that have yet to subside. We have more students in academic intervention services than ever before. With this said, I am very proud of our team for continuing to meet these challenges head-on. We continue to be responsive and innovative. I am also very proud of our students as they have experienced something none of us can say that we did; going to school during a global pandemic. Our district has launched a new three-year Strategic Plan continuing the work of the previous plan but also responding to the world in which we live in today. The new Strategic Plan, in alignment with Board of Education goals, builds upon our commitment to providing equitable opportunities and outcomes for our students. Our district continues to change rapidly with our English Language Learners population tripling in the last five years. Over 17 languages are spoken in our schools and town each day. The economic conditions have changed since a year ago as well. Inflation is a real factor affecting everything from commodities pricing, to goods and services, energy, healthcare and wages.
Unfunded government mandates such as new elementary reading programs and new legislation mandating air quality testing in schools impact our budget. COVID-relief grants from the state and federal governments are winding down which also impact our bottom line as we continue to provide services to students who significantly lag behind pre-pandemic peers in the areas of academics, social and emotional well-being, and mental health. This budget, combined with the remaining COVID-relief funds, will allow us to meet the continuing academic and behavioral health needs of our students. We vigilantly analyze our needs and re-allocate resources before asking for more; effectively negotiate employment contracts; and focus our energy and resources on high-leverage, research-based strategies. We continue our commitment to the health, safety, and wellness of our students, families, and staff. This proposal preserves reasonable class sizes even with the elimination of another two (2) teaching positions at Waterford High School due to enrollment. You may recall that FY 23 saw the elimination of four (4) teaching positions at Waterford High School. Since FY 16, we have eliminated twelve (12) academic teaching positions at both Clark Lane Middle School and Waterford High School as our district enrollment has decreased. Despite energy prices rising yet again, the comprehensive district-wide energy project from a year ago helps to mitigate what would have been an even larger increase. This proposal continues current course offerings and curricular programs, but does see the loss of services to students with the elimination of the talented and gifted enrichment program during school hours. Some additional money for after-school enrichment opportunities is included. Our district supports a strong extracurricular program, and an investment in professional development and curriculum renewal in order to maintain and advance the quality of programs and teaching.

The narrative of the FY24 Budget starts and ends with major cost drivers impacting the increase. Outside of the major cost drivers, this is a negative budget seeing a year-over-year decrease.
with actual past expenses and historical trends. It is also important to note that the last ten years of Waterford Board of Education budget increases have averaged 1.9%.
Major Cost Drivers Summary:
This budget invests in continued improvement and is intended to promote growth and achievement, while meeting the challenges the pandemic has forced us to face. This budget will meet all of the Board’s statutory obligations and mandates with the goal of not compromising rigor in the classroom, supporting the social and emotional learning of students, promoting continued high quality teaching through embedded professional learning, all the while maintaining high expectations for all of our students.

% INCREASE ON OVERALL FY24 BUDGET 2.03 % 1.42 % 0.96 % 0.71 % 0.57 % 0.29 % 0.12%
Everything else in our entire budget is a negative percentage ( 0.11 % ) year-over-year. This means in our FY24 budget, for all of these other lines, we are budgeting $57,000 less than we did a year ago despite the prices of nearly everything increasing. Our Leadership Team examined our Board-approved budget assumptions; Board Goals; our District Strategic Plan; School Growth Plans; enrollment projections; current programs; initiatives; staff assignments; and supply and equipment needs that support our mission, vision, priorities, and instructional focus. All budget requests from building and department leaders were reviewed and scrutinized by me and the Central Office Team. As is the case every year, requests were prioritized to meet students’ needs. Reductions from initial requests were a collaborative approach and were considered based on strategic priorities. It is important to note that over the eight years of budget development during my tenure, we have worked to align our budget
Conclusion I would like to acknowledge the hard work of our team; including our principals, department heads, directors and supervisors, business office and central office staff, and our faculty. I particularly want to recognize the efforts of Joe Mancini, Director of Finance and Operations; Craig Powers, Assistant Superintendent; and Gina Wygonik, Director of Special Services who have spent many hours over the last several months assisting in the development of this budget. The Waterford Public Schools continues to be an exceptional school district in so many ways. We appreciate the community’s support that allows the Board of Education to sustain the outstanding academic, co-curricular, and athletic programs that ensure that all Waterford students receive a high quality education. The team and I stand prepared to assist you in your deliberations related to this proposed budget. Sincerely,
Thomas W. Giard III Superintendent of Schools

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Health Insurance • Qualified employees of the Waterford Board of Education are entitled to receive Medical & Dental Insurance. Waterford’s Health Insurance is a self-insured plan administered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The self-insured plan covers the first $175,000 per person per year, with any amount in excess being covered by Stop-Loss Insurance. Life Insurance • This includes costs associated with coverage as negotiated in several union contracts. FICA •
$9,254,350 Unemployment Compensation • We are required to contribute to the unemployment compensation of eligible former employees who earned wages from Waterford Public Schools during a specified benefit period. Workers’ Compensation • According to State statute, we must maintain workers’ compensation coverage in the event an employee is injured while on the job. Coverage is provided by CIRMA (Connecticut Inter-local Risk Management Agency) and premiums are based on rates per job category and claim history.
As an employer, we are obligated to match our employees’ deductions for social security. Most support personnel are required to contribute to this fund based on their number of scheduled hours. Also, we are required to contribute the Medicare portion (1.45%) on all new certified personnel hired since 1986.
Unused Sick Leave • This is the contractual obligation for the payment of unused sick leave upon retirement. The projection is based upon notifications from teachers of a pending retirement for the next school year. While many senior employees still retain this benefit, contract negotiations have achieved reduced benefits for mid-career employees and have eliminated this benefit for new hires.
Reimbursements • This includes contractual obligations for tuition reimbursement and maintenance/custodian shoe allowance. • Tuition reimbursement under the teacher’s contract is set at $95,000. The remaining amount is for contractual obligations for various support staff bargaining units.
Retirement Incentive • The amount budgeted is the payment due for those employees who retire. The projection is based on retirement notifications received per contractual obligations prior to December 1st.

Communications • This category contains costs associated with various forms of communications. In FY24 it is anticipated this line will be funded 50% by the E-rate* program. The E-rate program funds Wi-Fi equipment, Fiber and Internet to the classrooms. Our district‐wide network connects each school to Town Hall and is the conduit that runs our phones, television, internet, data, security alarms (lockdown, fire, and burglar), and electronic door access for each of the schools. These robust Fiber optic connections have greatly reduced annual expenses (i.e., phones and internet). E-rate fully supports the WPS networking model and will continue to provide maximum funding for eligible items. In FY24 E-rate will fund the following amounts for fiber maintenance fees ($8,850) and internet service for the district ($7,020). In 2016, the State of CT cut funding for Internet services to all public schools (a previously free service). It is anticipated that E-rate will fund $15,870 in FY24, which includes 50% of mentioned communication items. The district remains committed to finding creative ways to save money on communications, for fiscal 2024 we’ve lowered the monthly expenditure for the fiber network to align our allotment with our usage. • In FY23 Waterford changed cell phone providers from Verizon Wireless to T-Mobile after comparing rates and offerings from multiple cell phone carriers. This effort will save roughly $1,800 annually while providing the users with new features like Wi-Fi hotspots and unlimited voice and data. Postage • This is the total cost of postage for Waterford Public Schools. This line is being increases from prior years as there will be a larger effort in FY2024 to recruit out of district students to the Waterford High School. Advertising • Covers the cost of classified ads for personnel vacancies and legal notices. Electronic media is used whenever it is effective and efficient and only doing print advertisement when it is required by legal mandate or is the best option. Object

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF BUILDINGS Fuel Oil • For Fiscal Year 2024, the Waterford Board of Education will only be using fuel oil for generator use at four of our schools. Clark Lane Middle School does not have a generator. The estimated price for fuel oil for 2023-2024 is $4.00 per gallon. Electricity • For fiscal year 2023, Electrical Generation is 0.0919. During the Fiscal Year 2022, an energy efficiency project was completed. It is expected to reduce usage by 26.5%, but is accompanied by costs of $243,335 per year for the next 4 years to pay off the equipment cost, which the town has paid for FY24 out of fund balance. The increased request is based on increasing transmission costs from the utility provider. Natural Gas • Clark Lane Middle School has been using natural gas as of winter 2018. • The high school will continue to heat the pool area, auditorium and gymnasium with natural gas. • Quaker Hill Elementary School uses natural gas primarily in the cafeteria. Propane • Propane is used in all cafeterias to heat hot water and in the front office at Great Neck and Oswegatchie Elementary Schools. Water • The cost of water is based on usage and a fee that is based on the size (diameter) of the pipe.
$2,200,613
Sewer • The cost of sewer is based on a fixed monthly fee as well as a fee for water consumption and usage. Maintenance and Repair • There are several accounts in this category, all pertaining to the cost of contracting maintenance services such as security monitoring, alarm system (burglar, refrigerators, sewer, boiler) specialized electrical, heating and plumbing, roof repairs, floor machines, inspections, service contracts, snow removal, vehicle maintenance, and fire extinguishers. Maintenance Equipment • Tools and equipment with a unit cost excess of $500 and having a life expectancy of more than one year will be charged to this account to allow for better tracking of expenses. Maintenance Supplies • In order to monitor and track maintenance expenses more closely, this account has been subdivided into several specific accounts. The new account structure includes individual accounts for electrical supplies, air filters, and plumbing supplies. These are in addition to vehicle, custodial, paint, pool, and general supply accounts. The budgets for these categories cover the costs of cleaning, preventive maintenance, and repairs for the district. Supplies for cleaning are consumables products. Supplies for maintenance are used for preventive maintenance and repairs which are done by Waterford Public School’s personnel labor. Supplies for the pool include special cleaning products for the pool deck, pool chemicals, and maintenance of the chemical controller.

In the 2023-24 school year, the district will have completed a full curriculum renewal for English Language Art (K-5), and Family Consumer Sciences (6-12). During the 2023-24 school year, the following curricular areas will be in process: Math (PK-5), Art (PK-12), Business & Finance Technology (6-12), and Technology Education (6-12). District funds are used during the curriculum renewal cycle, which is updated each year depending on district needs. Textbook funds at the school level are used for replacing worn out texts or purchasing additional copies of texts due to increases in class enrollment. There has been additional funding added to cover textbooks and materials to support the K-3 state mandated reading program that is required to be implemented in the 2023-2024 SY. This is an unfunded government program that is mandated for all districts.

Safety, integrity, and respect are critical to support success for all learners. The greatest emotional, and academic needs are met. Student growth and achievement are enhanced when curiosity, creativity, and continuous improvement are valued by all members of the learning community. Evidence and information are the foundation of sound decision-making.

Mr. Thomas W. Giard III Superintendent of Schools Mr. Craig C. Powers Assistant Superintendent
Dear Community Members, I continue to be proud to be the Superintendent of the Waterford Public Schools. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to lead such an outstanding school district with such a history of excellence. The 2021-2022 school year was an exciting year as we continued our full in-person learning and worked diligently to provide a safe environment and a high quality education for our students. Our team has consistently led with an unwavering commitment to our mission to “ensure every student acquires the skills and knowledge necessary to be a responsible citizen, prepared to contribute and succeed in an ever-changing world”. The 2021-2022 school year saw the needs created by the pandemic really begin to manifest in multiple ways. We saw the toll the pandemic had on our students as far as greater social and emotional needs; increased levels of anxiety and depression; and academic gaps due to students not being in school consistently for almost two years. We know the needs created by the pandemic will not end when the pandemic subsides. Our team stands ready to meet the challenge as always. Our focus remains on educating our students and we are proud of our staff and families who worked together to assist in making the 2021-2022 school year one of substantial accomplishments in the Waterford Public Schools for our students. On behalf of our central office team, it is a pleasure to present this Annual Report to the Waterford community. This report will provide data and information with regard to the progress we are making as a school system in educating our fine students. The Waterford Board of Education has continued to work diligently through challenging budgetary times to provide consistent educational programs and maintaining an engaging environment that challenges our students. We have an amazing staff who are dedicated to our district, bringing their best at all times for our students. The Board maintains a strong commitment to excellence to vigorously engage students in the learning process and ensure that all students are college and career ready. The safety and well-being of our staff and students remains our top priority. It is inspiring to be a part of a team that is committed to educating the whole child; providing for the social, emotional, and academic well-being of every student. As this Annual Report shows, we have once again reaffirmed the importance of reasonable class sizes and academic support 95

services. We continue to offer a full range of opportunities for students at a time when many school districts are cutting back their programs in athletics and the arts. At the end of the day, our students continue to achieve at high levels, develop their talents and interests, and demonstrate their commitment to make a positive contribution to their community. We are very proud of our many noteworthy accomplishments and continue to appreciate the immense support from our families, town, and community. District-wide
•
The District continued its focus on opportunities for students to earn college credit. 13 Advanced Placement (AP) courses were offered as well as 11 Early College Experience (ECE) courses. The College and Career Pathways program completed its fifth year providing students with opportunities for exploration in STEM, Marine and Environmental Science, Business and Hospitality, Health Services, Arts and Communication, and Leadership and Public Service.
•
Waterford High School implemented the Capstone Experience in the 2021-2022 school year. The Capstone Experience, part of the High School Graduation Requirements, is a culminating experience whereby students learn the process of successfully executing a studentdirected independent project, employing many of the transferable skills. Students created authentic learning experiences aligned to the Vision of the Graduate and presented their Capstone projects to the community during the 2021-2022 school year.
•
Administration and staff applied for and received over $73,000 in grants to enhance the educational platform for the district and students. These 14 grants, which we applied for, are a vital instrument in bringing educational programs and opportunities to students in the district we otherwise might not be able to support.
•
25 Waterford High School students achieved the Seal of Biliteracy, passing tests in languages including French, Latin, and Spanish.
•
In alignment with the Board Goal to “Advocate for and build a district that promotes equity”, the district continued our focus on equity as a significant initiative in the 2021-2022 school year. The District Equity Team met for its second year and worked on creating a District Equity Plan to be embedded in the District Strategic Plan. A curriculum equity audit was infused in all curriculum revisions and a Black and Latino Studies course was implemented at Waterford High School.
•
Waterford Public Schools partnered with United Community and Family Services to open two School-Based Health Centers in the fall of 2021 at Waterford High School and Clark Lane Middle School. The School-Based Health Centers, open to all Waterford Public Schools’ students, provided comprehensive physical and behavioral health and well care to students.
96
Appendix G
•
The design and implementation of programs to meet the Social and Emotional needs of our students remained a focus in our district. Effective School Solutions was implemented to provide a therapeutic day program for high needs students at WHS. Additional mental health staff was also added at the secondary level to support our students in this vital area.
•
We continued our work with our community partners, Waterford Youth and Family Services Bureau, Waterford Police Department, and SERAC to provide collaborative support for our students in the areas of mental and behavioral health as well as community mentors.
•
Professional Learning remained a focus for providing resources and training for staff growth and development. Highlights for the 20212022 school year included Human Trafficking in Connecticut, Curriculum Revisions through an Equity Lens, Training on the new IEP document for 22-23 SY, Department Specific work aligned to addressing the goals of the School Growth Plans, and Equity Professional Development for all staff.
•
The district continues to be mindful of the economic climate and consistently puts forth responsible budgets that allow us to continue to progress as a district.
Other highlights:
•
15 members were inducted into the WHS National Honor Society.
•
45 members were inducted into the WHS World Language Honor Society (16 Spanish, 12 Latin, 17 French).
•
43 CLMS students (12 French, 4 Latin, 27 Spanish) were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society for their respective languages.
•
254 scholarships in the amount of $136,500 were awarded to the WHS graduating class of 2022.
Waterford’s students as a whole continue to perform well in the classroom and in the community. This is a reflection of the dedication to the students of Waterford by our teachers, staff, administration and our WPS families. We will continue to work on fulfilling our mission statement to guarantee that each student acquires the skills and knowledge to become a successful individual and a responsible citizen by setting high expectations and requiring excellence in an atmosphere of integrity and respect.

Appendix G
Curriculum Department After extensive work with our curriculum renewal teams, five curricular areas were brought to the board and were approved. All of these curricula continue to be developed in the Understanding by Design (UbD) curriculum format. The curricular areas approved were 9-12 Mathematics Curriculum; World Language Curriculum Addition – American Sign Language I; 6-8 Language Arts Curriculum; Social Studies Curriculum Addition - Black and Latino Studies; and K-12 Physical Education/Health Curriculum. The District Data Analysis and Action Team (DAAT) focused its work throughout the year on completing an audit of the entire Strategic Coherence Plan goals with recommendations for the next iteration of the Strategic Plan. This was one of the district teams that drafted much of the new Strategic Plan. The District Equity Team (DET) provided overall guidance to each school equity team through the sharing of the new learning presented. The DET also defined a District Equity Statement and developed a District Equity Plan using the 4 Pillars created by this committee. This was another of the district teams that drafted part of the new Strategic Plan. The Professional Learning & Evaluation Committee (PLEC) met throughout the year to plan and evaluate the feedback of each of the three district professional learning days for teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators that occurred throughout the year. Technology Department The 2021-2022 school year saw a restructuring of the IT Department. This change allowed the Board of Education IT Department to focus all of its efforts on the schools as the department would no longer be responsible for Town IT Support. Open positions were filled throughout the school year to fulfill the needs of this new department. The 2021-2022 school year also saw the implementation of the district’s 1:1 device program which was developed the previous year. Every student was assigned a device for use during class; students in grades 4-12 were allowed to take their devices home to complete homework and research projects. In addition to providing devices, we added security and monitoring software systems to manage the devices and provide easy access to learning resources. IT Department 2021-2022 School Year Highlights: ●
Waterford High School Staff received new laptops.
●
Additional security cameras were installed at Waterford High School to provide additional coverage.
●
100 Microsoft SurfaceGo Tablets were configured for the WHS Math Department. 98
Appendix G
●
New desktop computers installed in all Quaker Hill Elementary School Classrooms.
●
The Virtual Desktop system was decommissioned as it was no longer needed due to the 1:1 device program.
●
IPad management system was implemented which allowed software, hardware, and security settings to be updated and changed from a central management location.
Business Department The 2021-2022 school year was a near return to pre-pandemic operations. The roadmap for keeping the schools as clean and as safe as possible was operationalized from the school reopening plan. Financially, the Board of Education was slightly favorable for the year. The district saw a small adjustment in enrollment but is remaining steady as a favorable housing market and promising job market are bringing new residents to the town. Changes in enrollment present financial challenges, but these challenges were mitigated by favorable contractual negotiations and savings from staffing turnover. The completion of the energy efficiency project by the Board in the fall and winter, are set to bring savings of $350K annually off the bottom line in energy costs in the years to come.
Buildings & Grounds Department The 2021-2022 school year was a productive year for the Buildings and Grounds Department.
●
At Clark Lane Middle School, we performed extensive repairs to the air cooled chiller to extend life of system.
●
At Quaker Hill Elementary School, we converted the computer lab to a first grade classroom; also converted a Kindergarten room to a Preschool room; installed new flooring and furniture; built and installed cubbies in the new first grade classroom.
●
At Quaker Hill and Oswegatchie, we supported Camp Dash with nightly cleaning and daily repairs to the facilities.
●
At Waterford High School, we installed a domestic hot water heater. We also replaced the heat pump compressor outside the wood shop.
●
We continued with the Eversource LED light upgrade and transformer replacement at all of the schools. We installed VFDs with controls in the kitchens at all schools. We also continued to install bottle filling stations at all schools and repaired walls and painted offices and classrooms.
99
Appendix G
●
At Great Neck Elementary School, we set up and supported Summer Academy with multiple requests for equipment and needs for our special education students.
●
In the BOE Information Technology, Business Office and Human Resources departments, offices were set up for new personnel. We relocated IT Director’s and Data Analysts’ offices and built a bathroom. Our department also painted multiple town and BOE offices.
Special Services Department Special Education services continue to be delivered primarily in inclusive settings across the district. At Waterford High School and Clark Lane Middle School, Special Education services are delivered in cooperatively taught classes, along with classes which focus on specific skill improvement that are typically offered in a self-contained setting. Our elementary school buildings support the continued inclusion of special education services with a focus on the provision of related services in the general education setting. Services have been enhanced to support special education students as they transition from preschool to elementary school, elementary school to Clark Lane Middle School, and then to Waterford High School. Technology is utilized by all staff, when appropriate, to support special education students’ needs, especially the use of iPads, Kindles, and Chromebooks. Our special education staff has focused on reading and literacy development, with an emphasis on researchbased programs such as Wilson Reading, Orton-Gillingham, Read Naturally, Read Live, Reading Milestones, Lindamood-Bell, and the EdMark Reading Program. The district continues to build capacity to support the EL population that continues to grow. The district provided services for 87 EL students in the 2021-2022 school year; a 36% increase from the previous year. 16 languages including Albanian, Arabic, Bangladesh, Cambodian, Greek, Gujarati, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Mandarin, Nepali, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai and Urdu are the home languages of students in the WPS district. To date the TESOL teachers are working with approximately 107 students across the district. We offer self-contained support center programs at each school building for students who are experiencing significant difficulty in the more traditional education setting. The programs focus on providing individualized instruction while fostering social and emotional growth. The support centers offer individualized supports which are flexible in order to meet the student’s needs. These supports might include a check-in, part-time or a fully self–contained placement. We also offer a self-contained Autism program at the elementary level which provides very specialized services for students diagnosed with Autism. We have a district BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who is able to travel among the schools to provide specialized support to students on the Autism spectrum as well as for any student struggling with behavior issues. Our district ADOS (Autistic Diagnostic Observation Schedule) team is working together to complete evaluations of students who are suspected of having Autism. We continue to provide a well-rounded program for our young children diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorders particularly in the implementation of the SCERTS Model, which focuses on Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support.
100
Appendix G
Our district mental health staff, which includes school psychologists, school social workers, school counselors, and our Board Certified Behavior Analyst, continues to work together in order to provide direct counseling services to our students and recommendations to staff and families as well as home visits as needed. Some of the programs being implemented by our counseling staff to provide students with strategies to support positive mental health include offerings such as Mind Up, mentoring, and yoga. Special Education staff, Middle and High School staff, as well as paraprofessionals, all attended a professional development training focused on supporting students dealing with social and emotional issues. Our Speech and Language Pathologists have participated in training to complete assistive technology and/or augmentative communication evaluations for students. They continue to explore resources/apps for students to use to support their access to the curriculum. Waterford has five inclusive Preschool classrooms, located at Great Neck Elementary School, Oswegatchie Elementary school, and Quaker Hill Elementary School. The classes provide a program for all of the district's preschoolers identified as in need of Special Education. Related services as well as specialized special education services are provided as appropriate to meet the students’ needs. There is a lottery for the general education peers to enter the program. Closing Statement: At Waterford Public Schools, we take great pride in the education and the many co-curricular opportunities we provide the children of Waterford. We will continue to pursue innovative programs that will challenge our students for years to come. We will strive to involve all stakeholders in the process. I am thankful for the deep sense of community that Waterford embraces including the dedication of our staff, the partnership with our parents and families, and the amazing determination that our students possess every day. I am grateful for the support that is given to our school district and I hope that this report has provided valuable information for you regarding our programs. Should you have any questions, any member of our team will be happy to assist you. Sincerely,
Thomas W. Giard III Superintendent of Schools

READING THE BUDGET Account Structure The chart of accounts is structured as required by the state and federal governments for specific reporting purposes. Consequently, a 24-digit account number with its various reporting combinations becomes confusing at times. In an effort to simplify references to a specific account number, the chart of accounts has been restructured to include a “short account” number. The five digits of each account after the three digit Fund Account is the “short account” which specifically references that account. For example, #09020, refers to regular transportation and that account only, eliminating the need to refer to several numbers to reference one account. Each sub account category is differentiated as follows: CHART OF ACCOUNTS – CODING SYSTEM FUND XXX
