1. Hadley Public Schools
Proposed FY14 Budget

2. What is the school budget?
Your school budget is more than just numbers – it is the financial road map for your educational priorities.

3. FY14 Educational Priorities
To maintain the breadth and depth of our current programming
To eliminate the inequities of student access to a technology enriched curriculum that exists between Hadley Elementary School and Hopkins Academy
To maintain a physically and intellectually safe environment conducive to learning
To utilize any cost efficiencies available
To increase our ability to have 2-way communication with parents

4. The Financial Conundrum
Accounting for the supplies and materials previously pre-purchased out of school choice funds ($144,000 in FY 13)
Estimating a 12% decrease in grant funding from FY 13
Spending no more school choice money than we estimate receiving ($375,000) vs. anticipated spending of $524,000 in FY 13
Taking into account increases out of the control of the District (oil, SPED costs, etc.)

5. Technology
Inequity of student access to a technology enriched curriculum for Hadley Elementary School students was addressed in a special presentation to the School Committee on 1/17/13. This may be a separate article at Town Meeting and funding for it is not included in the FY 14 Proposed Budget.
