  3. Egg Harbor Township Schools Budget Goals for 2011-12 Maintain Programs/Skills/Staff Maximize Revenue Reduce Costs Prioritize Spending Open and staff our HS Addition Improve Communication Minimize School Tax Increase Pass the 2011-12 Budget

  4. What is the bottom line? • Even with additional State aid this year we are millions short… Charter Schools, increase in State Tuition for Incarcerated Students, and EDA Assessment • 3 million in cuts just to get to the state mandated 2% hard cap on the tax levy • 27 Positions cut from the budget • A proposed 1.3 million tax levy increase or 3.4 cent tax increase for 2011-12

  5. School Tax Rate History

  6. Opening Schools

  7. What does 3.4 cents mean to me? • A home assessed at 100K = a $34.00 increase • A home assessed at 200K = a $68.00 increase • A home assessed at 300K = a $102.00 increase • To figure out your increase: assessed value of your home/100 *.034 $143,000/100 = 1,430 x .034 = $48.62 Monthly that = $4.05 or Weekly that = $0.93

  8. Egg Harbor Township SchoolsSummary of Budgeted Revenues – General Fund

  9. Appropriations

  10. How can there be new things or new positions when there are cuts and layoffs? • Direction given to administration, if adding anything new, they must take something out • 3rd year with zero increase for building and department budgets (transportation excluded) • Prioritization of need (data, enrollments, etc…)

  11. How will this impact my child? • Made every effort to limit impact on students • Cuts to date…elementary class sizes, MS LAL, Miller School Instrumental Music, HS 101 • Pay to play… limited program at MS’s, inclusion of HS programs • Opening HS with much less…reallocating staff

  12. Why didn’t you cut below cap? • Further cuts would make opening the HS we have waited 5 years for nearly impossible • Further cuts would impact the quality of instruction and class sizes would grow beyond SPC limits • Further cuts could impact Freshman/JV Sports and other clubs and activities for students • Further cuts could impact transportation – Courtesy Bussing, tiering, etc… • Already cut over 10 Million last year and 3 Million this year

  13. Why haven’t we eliminated sports?

  14.
