FY07 Change • $3 million in Title I for school based health personnel pilot program. • $3.8 million in savings from school closings are allocated per pupil. • Transportation zone savings of $800,000 are deducted from the transportation budget.
FY 07 Change Common teacher salary of $50,400 regardless of funding source or grade level.
Common Teacher Salary • Simplifies budget preparation. • Further honors the agreement with the MTEA to eliminate incentive to assign jobs based on salary level.
Impact on the Schools • Base Per Pupil funding changes range from +$167 to -$35. • Unsettled labor contracts - The chargeback for unsettled contracts is increased from $154 per pupil to $322 (FY05 = $231.05)
Impact on the Schools (cont’d) • Allied Health Services -- occupational and physical therapists and HCAs, previously funded in Special Services, are moved into a school account. This means $3.6 million less is distributed to schools, but has no real impact on purchasing power because it previously was a chargeback.
Impact on the Schools (cont’d) • SAGE support continues at $2,000 per pupil. • SAGE supplements & other CSR support continues at FY06 levels.
Impact on the Schools (cont’d) • K5-3rd grade positions at SAGE schools and centrally-funded CSR positions will be centrally-budgeted. • All but a few schools will have the same number of positions paid for in FY07 as they did in FY06 through a combination of SAGE and Board and ESEA funds. • The district also will continue to provide .5 classroom teachers to eligible non-SAGE schools. • MORE INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE SAGE SCHOOL BREAKOUT SESSION.

Student Weights The methodology of assigning student weights was reviewed by administrators and a group of principals representing all grade levels. The consensus was that the weights appropriately reflect the more expensive contractual agreement for the middle school model and historical costs across the levels.

Medical insurance costs are up 11%. While that is far more than inflation, it is less than the increases in recent years. Fringe Benefit Rate
A Note of Caution This is the second year of the state’s biennial budget, so state funding will probably be fairly predictable. Actions related to the cap on the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program could affect actual enrollments.
