FY 2017 - 13th Month MFR File – Reminder (LEAs
Only):
 This is a reminder
that every LEA must upload its FY 2017 13th Month MFR files by Tuesday,
July 18, 2017. We will pull your
FY 2017 13th month MFR File that evening.
Please make sure your LEA is signed into FY 17!
The 13th month information is very important
because the information represents your "Per Pupil" calculation and
the information is reported in the NC School Report Cards.
Please do the following before building the
13th Month MFR file:
- Make
sure that you are signed into FY 17!
- Book the
Period 12 zero-out entry to your GL in June (Period 12)
- Correct
all your MFR errors, including local account codes.
-
Review the AFR/MFR Recommendations located on
the Financial and Business Services web page:
http://dpi.state.nc.us/docs/fbs/finance/reporting/amfr/recommendations.pdf
- Make sure that when you use Local Fund 2 PRC 056 it
mirrors State Fund 1 PRC 056; otherwise, use Local Fund 2 PRC 706.
- Record your State Textbook expenditures through journal
entries within your LEA’s general ledger.
You cannot record expenditures within the BUD system for State
Textbooks (PRC 130) (Expenditures - 1-5110-130-412 and Revenue 1-3211-130-000).
- Flag the local revenue and expenditures within Local
PRC 076 –Public School Capital Fund - Lottery as state.
If you have questions about your MFR file,
please contact Roxane Bernard at (919) 807-3725 or roxane.bernard@dpi.nc.gov or Richard Smith at 919-807-3729 or richard.smith@dpi.nc.gov.

There are 2 modifications to the Principal Schedules
originally posted to NC DPI web on 6/28/2017:
- Monthly Salary dollar amounts are now formatted to show
2 decimals (in previous version it was published as a whole number). The
2 decimal places are required to ensure that the monthly amounts agree with the
annual totals as legislated in the Appropriations Bill.
- Daily Rates for “Met Growth” and “Exceeded Growth”
schedules have been corrected and reposted due to a previous calculation error.
State Health Plan Premium Rates
DPI has received notification from the State Health Plan
that the health plan premium rate will not change until January 1, 2018. The plan premium changes are on a calendar
basis. You must use the 2017 premium rate of $5,659 through December 31, 2017. The new premium rate of $5,869 will be
effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

Principal Pay Guidance
A FAQ on principal pay has been posted on the FBS home page
at http://www.ncpublicschools.org/fbs/
. This document will be updated as needed.
Please note that during the last Tuesday webinar, it was communicated
that LEAs must use the accountability growth status from the school years
2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 to determine the 2017-18 principal’s salary. Since
that time, there has been further discussions and it has been determined that
the years 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 shall be used, subject to SBE
approval. For many principals, this will leave their salary unknown until
after the release of the 2016-17 growth.
