  2. FY05 Vs. FY06 – Total Program Cost

  3. Approach to Building the Budget • Fund Fixed Costs • Fund Direct “in-classroom” Services • Fund Indirect Services • Fund Infrastructure

  4. Level 1 “Target” set by Joint Bodies BOS / FinCom / SC agree on structure that allows Town increased opportunity to decide directly on services Framework of Three Tiers Level 1: Level Services ● Level 2: Restoration ● Level 3: Enhanced Framework of Three Tiers Adapted to Accommodate School Priorities (Priorities established by Administration & School Committee) School Override Requests Reduced to Meet Level 1 Goal of $500k as set by Joint Bodies

  5. Base Level Override • Growth + 2 ½ provide $146k • Level 1 Override provides $366k

  6. Base Level Budget Drivers • Loss In State Aide • $100k reduced Circuit Breaker • Flat Chapter 70 (same as ‘04, same as ‘05, 23% less than ‘03) • Cost Increases, e.g., • $493k Salary Increase (contracts), $49k Energy Increase • Cuts • Cleaning Contract (moved in-house for a net savings) • Part time Lib. Aide, Instructional Tutor • Reduced funding for Media update • Waters Foundation Program • Revenue Increases, e.g., • Fees from Bus / Activities / Lunch / Comm. Ed / Building Rental • Increased School CHOICE enrollment

  7. FY06 Base is 5.8% above FY05

  8. FY06 Revenues will be lower

  9. Review Handout

  10. Tiers of the Override

  11. Level 1 Override: Recommended by Joint Boards Increased Omnibus funding of $366k from the $500k override (over and above Prop 2 ½) Driven by increases in fixed costs

  12. Level 2 Override: Recommended by School Committee Increased Omnibus funding of : $217,000 (direct) $52,000 (benefits)

  13. Level 3 Override: Recommended by School Committee Increased Omnibus funding of : $145,000 (direct) $20,000 (benefits)

  14. The Vote works as follows…

  15. Consequence of No Override • Direct cut of $366,000 from Budget • 6 ½ staff plus reduced administrative support • 2 HES core teachers • 1 Middle School Foreign Language • 1 Bromfield core teacher • 2 Specialists • ½ FTE Administrator • Increased Class Size • Additional cuts to account for • Likely reduced revenues (e.g., fewer CHOICE students coming in) • Likely increased costs (e.g., more students leaving District on outbound CHOICE @ $5k/student and Charter)
