Assumes state revenues stabilize ??
2 year budget reduction of $416,000
($89,000 + $327,000)
Slightly under fund balance of $481,000
Operating Budget falls from $4,300,000
to $3,884,000
Must recalibrate expenses to match
revenues
FPS Options
1.
2.
3.
Similar compensation at lower level of
staffing
Same level of staffing at less total
compensation.
Some combination of options 1 and 2
Quantifying the Adjustment
State funding shortfall over 2 years of
$416,000 =
Almost the total compensation for
superintendent/ HS principal, Elm/MS
principal, business office staff, and
transportation/ maintenance supervisor.
Total compensation for nearly every
support staff position.
Total compensation for approximately 5+
teaching positions.
Fund Equity – Buying Time
Working fund balance of 10%+ in August.
Just slightly over the 2 year anticipated
shortfall of $416,000.
Potential to spend it down over 3 years:
2009-2010
8-9% final
2010-2011
3-5% final
2011-2012
1-3% final
Must be accompanied by reductions in
expenditures that total $416,000.
Our Challenge:
Educate our students, just as well
or better, at less cost and likely
with fewer staff.
Do Better than the Legislature
Must do better than just cut, cut, cut.
Must recalibrate, rethink, and redesign.
We still have $3,884,000 with which to
successfully educate 537 students.
Option is not New Idea vs what we do
now.
Option is New Idea vs other New Ideas.
2009-2010 Budget Adjustments
Freeze teaching supplies, office supplies,
equipment, textbooks, and some
maintenance budgets
Athletic cost/revenue adjustment
Reduce non-Title I aide time up to 6
hours/day
Eliminate and AM bus run ??
Total savings $30,000 - $35,000
Expend 1% – 2% of fund equity

Troubling Reality – Fewer Staff
Status quo is impossible.
Must change and redesign services to our
students including instruction.
Can’t reduce supplies, fuel, electricity, heat,
maintenance, equipment, insurance, etc. by
80-100%. (10-14% of budget)
Redesign must include reduced need for
staffing and other costs.
