Spring 2011 Budget Update and Projection for the Public Schools of Petoskey Kent Cartwright, CPA Chief Financial Officer Public Schools of Petoskey April 15, 2011
Foundation allowance reduced $470 to $6,846 • Categorical Funding reduced or eliminated • Declining enrollment = $22,000 • Districts expected to find 10% savings in consolidation efforts • Retirement rate moves from 20.66% to 24.46% (Cost to Petoskey = $468,541 or $163 per pupil) School State Aid Summary FY 2011-12 – Based on Governor's Proposal
Governor’s cut of $470 is enacted = Foundation allowance of $6,864 • Pupil count loss of 13 FTE • ARRA Funds expire, not renewed (This may impact some of our Aides’ positions) • Edujobs used 100% in FY 2011-12 • Steps included; no other pay increases • Insurance costs increase 10% • MPSERS rate moves from 20.66% to 24.46% FY 2011-12Assumptions Used
In my opinion, public school employees are likely, or highly likely, to be required to contribute for health care to some degree due to pending legislation. • A prudent employee should begin to consider the impact on their personal finances if the State required each of us contribute between $2,000 and $7,000 annually for insurance, beginning possibly as early as July 1, 2011.
