2009-10 Budget Forecast and Future Budget Considerations School & Community Conversations January - February 2009
Vision Learning without Boundaries
Purpose Cultivating academic excellence, citizenship, and personal development.
Kettle Moraine’s Challenges • Current business model • Revenue limits vs. QEO • Transform to “better and more efficiently meet the needs of all students”
Kettle Moraine’s RealityJanuary 2009 • Budget Forecast – Projected expenditures exceed projected revenues, the story remains constant for the past 15 years and next five years. • Economic climate extremely adverse • Declining student enrollment – projected for 5 years – makes KM situation worse than norm.
Possible Scenario?Four Day Work Week • No immediate impact. Requires multiple years to implement • Would require waiver from state DPI requirement • Major and significant contract implications, including • Teacher, Para, custodial unions plus transportation contract. • Benefits of reduced energy and transportation would not justify hardship ($100,000 - $200,000) • Community response: • Day care • Length of day • Athletics and after school activities
Budget preparation is an administrative function • It requires leadership and discernment, focused on the vision and purpose of the organization. • It operates within the parameters defined by the state of Wisconsin and the residents of the School District of Kettle Moraine.
Short Term Need Align projected expenditures to match projected revenues
Long Term Solutions Address school finance business model • Attract private investments • Address Health Care concerns • Address OPEB liability
