9. WHAT MAKES THIS BUDGET UNUSUAL?  This budget is based on the Board’s approval of the 4 mill increase that is allowable this year based on state formula.  The 4 mills allowable increase is significantly below the approximately 7 mills which we have had as an option over the last several years.  The opening of three new schools (Philip Simmons Schools) in one year places an unusual burden on the budget.  In addition to the Cost of Living and Step increases this new allocation of $1.062 million of the new state money calls for a 2% or 4% mandated increase of the bus driver salary schedule. A 2% percent increase would equate to $260,000, and a 4% increase would equate to $520,000.  This is the first year in many in which the state has mandated that new revenue must be placed in compensation improvement  It is the first year in many in which the state has mandated that new revenue must be used to add a step to the salary schedule. The new Base Student Allocation (BSA) represents an improvement of $150 per student but a portion of it is mandated for use for compensation improvement; thus, it isn’t a true increase in the BSA.  The BSA remains below the Budget and Control Board’s Mandate.  Although increasing, the BSA is still below the level of 2006-2007 Fiscal Year. 10

10.  Look for more efficient ways to accomplish tasks  Evaluate options to do business in different ways  Supplies  Technology  Capital Projects BUDGET STRATEGIES 11  Review retirements versus new hire salary history and determine possible labor savings to be returned to operating budget to use for other needs of the district
