  18. Curriculum • Curriculum and financial advantages are probably the two most important reasons for reorganization. • Students in both districts would benefit from combined curriculums.

  19. A-C Graduates

  20. Virginia Graduates

  21. Athletics & Activities • All high school athletics are together. • All junior high athletics are together.

  22. Transportation • Combined fleet in good condition. • No additional buses needed. • Bus routes might be combined.

  23. EAV $36,066,294.00 Tax Rate $6.214 Fund Balances $1.6 million Revenue Local 47.2% State 46.5% Federal 6.3% EAV $27,369,025.00 Tax Rate $5.590 Fund Balances $900,000.00 Revenue Local 45.5% State 46.4% Federal 8.1% FinancesA-C Central Virginia

  24. From 2002 to 2007 • Percent of farm land decreased • Percent of residential increased • Commercial property decreased • Senior citizens exemptions increased • Homestead exemptions increased • 2000 Census • 13,695 population • 2010 Census ?

  25. A-C Expenditures

  26. Virginia Expenditures

  27. Financial Incentives • State Aid Difference • Deficit Offset • Teacher Salary Difference • Certified Employee Pay of $4,000.00

  28. State Aid Difference • If the General State Aid (GSA) is less for the newly reorganized district in the first year than the General State Aid would have been that same year of the previously existing districts, ISBE will make supplementary state aid payments equal to the difference for the first four years to the reorganized district.

  29. Deficit Offset • Deficits are calculated by totaling the fund balances in the education, operation & maintenance, transportation and working cash funds in each district. • ISBE will make one supplemental state aid payment equal to the difference between the largest and smallest deficit. • A positive fund balance is considered to have a deficit of zero.

  30. Teacher Salary Difference • If there is a difference between the sum of the salaries earned during the previous year by teachers of the new district and the sum of salaries those teachers would have been paid if placed on the highest salary schedule, ISBE will make supplementary state aid payments equal to the difference for the first four years to the newly reorganized district.

  31. Certified Employee Pay of $4000 • For up to three years, a reorganized district may receive a supplementary state aid payment equal to $4000 for each certified employee who is employed on a full time basis for the school year. • The number of payments depends upon the new districts rank in EAV/Pupil and ADA.

  32. State IncentivesIncentive Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Total

  34. Conclusion • To arrive at the Final Picture, the following issues were examined: • Buildings and Facilities • Transportation • Curriculum • Staffing and Personnel • Finance

  35. Alternative One • Keep all buildings open • Ashland • Pre-K and grades 9-12 • Chandlerville • Kindergarten – four (Ashland & Chandlerville students) • Virginia • Kindergarten – eight (Ashland 5 – 8 attend Virginia)

  36. Alternative Two • Close Chandlerville Elementary • Send Chandlerville students to Virginia • Send Ashland students to Ashland • Ashland would house • Grades K – 5 and 9 -12 • Virginia would house • Pre-K – 8

  37. Final Picture • Ashland would house 9-12 and Pre-K • Virginia would house K – 8 • It will take a few years and much planning to arrive at this scenario.
