Butler, Chair Board of Apportionment & Taxation Derby City Hall Derby Connecticut 06418 Dear Mr. Butler, On behalf of the Derby Board of Education, I am pleased to provide you with the budget request for Derby Public Schools for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Our request totals $16,485,528.00, an increase of $452,297 or 2.80 % over the amount appropriated to the Board of Education for the Fiscal Year 2014. The increase reflects contractually obligated increases in salary and benefits, and the alignment of budgeted requests to the strategic goals of Derby Public Schools. Expenditures not related to salaries and benefits, with the exception of technology funding and few conservative strategic shifts, have remained flat from last year. Adjustments were made in line items to accurately reflect expenditures. As communicated in the 2013 budget proposal, the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent performed a comparative analysis of actual, historical fiscal expenditures. Allocated funds were assigned individual accounts based on educational priorities and actual historical expenditures. We continue to be mindful of the financial constraints that both you and the Board of Appropriations and Taxation face. The Board of Education has again attempted to limit financial requests to those that are fiscally conservative and to support the mission of Derby Public Schools. The Members of the Board respectfully ask for the approval of the budget submitted. Sincerely, Kenneth Marcucio, Chair Derby Board of Education cc: Anita Dugatto, Mayor Barbara DeGennaro, President Board of Aldermen Keith McLiverty, Treasurer
