Coshocton City: cash, unencumbered, unreserved — four different balances

The forecast has four balance lines, and each is the one before it with something taken away or added. They are easy to mix up, and they are not the same number.

Line ActualFY2025 BudgetFY2026 ForecastFY2029
07.020 Cash balance at June 30Everything in the general fund's account at the end of the year. 4,774,991 3,562,603 (1,972,988)
08.010 Already committedEncumbrances: purchase orders and contracts signed, not yet paid. − 376,116 − 383,638 − 407,120
10.010 Unencumbered balanceWhat is free to spend. The state calls it the fund balance for certification of appropriations. 4,398,875 3,178,964 (2,380,108)
12.010 With renewalsThe balance if every renewal passes and nothing new does. 4,398,875 3,178,964 (2,380,108)
15.010 Unreserved fund balanceThe state's bottom line. In a forecast year it counts any new levy above as if it had passed. 4,398,875 3,178,964 (2,380,108)

Swipe sideways for more columns.

For past years the state asks for no renewal or new-levy money, so the unencumbered and unreserved balances are the same; cash is larger by what is already committed and set aside. In a forecast year the unreserved balance counts any new levy as if it had passed.

From the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s bulk forecast files — the filings its Forecast Submissions report shows one district at a time, to the dollar. A county’s figures are the traditional districts the state files under it, added together; Ohio’s are all of them. Each district writes its own forecast, and nothing here is estimated. The 49 career centers file their own forecasts and are listed under their home county, but are in no total: each serves several counties.
