MGT Efficiency Review Report Response Process Information that may inform budget development processes
Introduction • In the fall 2008, our school division contracted with the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) to have an efficiency review conducted. MGT of America, Inc. (the consulting group who assisted in the development of our current Strategic Plan) was hired by the DPB to examine all operational areas in the division—division administration, human resources, finance, purchasing, educational service delivery costs, special education, facilities, transportation, technology management, and food service. This process was undertaken to identify best practices as well as opportunities for increased efficiency. As stewards of public funds, it is important that we fully use our available resources and ensure as much funding as possible goes to instruction. • The cost to the school division for the review is $30,000, which reflects 25% of the total cost. In exchange for the state subsidy of $90,000, the DPB requires that a school division implement a minimum of 50% of the recommendations in the final report. If the school division chooses not to implement the recommendations, they will be charged an additional 25% of the cost. The details concerning what constitutes adequate implementation are agreed upon between the school division and the DPB. There is a two-year time frame for implementation.
