2017-2018 GENERAL FUND bUDGET – SECOND Reading DEON JACKSON, INTERIM Superintendent Jacque’ carlen, interim CHIEF FINANCE OFFICER JUNE 27, 2017
WHAT MAKES THIS BUDGET UNIQUE? This budget is based on maintaining the same millage rate at 163.8 for operations. Additional funds are needed to open Philip Simmons High. Two new elementary schools will open in August 2018. In addition to the step increase, there is a 2% mandated increase on employer portion for retirement on SCRS, PORS and ORP. This 2% percent increase equates to $3.2 million and will be covered by PEBA credit invoice and state funding allocation. A mandated 1% increase takes effect next fiscal year through 2022 equates to $1.6 million and will continue to grow as our District experiences employee growth. The increase of $179,025 on teacher fringe benefits from state money does not cover the 3.3% health insurance increase effective January 2018. This 3.3% increase equates to $905,000 for the new fiscal year. Revised Base Student Cost increases to $2425 for 2017-2018 from $2350. The BSA remains below the Budget and Control Board’s Mandate of $2984 which equates to $18.6 million additional funding. Although increasing, the BSA is still below the level of 2006-2007 Fiscal Year. 2
