Budget Adjustments 2001-2009 Teaching and support positions reduced or eliminated to reflect reductions in enrollment Administrative positions eliminated and combined Health Insurance benefit changes and staff premium contribution Single bus route for transportation Closed Garfield Elementary Food Service charged more for overhead
7
Budget Adjustments 2001-2009 Implemented Pay to Participate for HS and MS Athletes Staff wage freezes Reduced school/calendar days Community Education programs eliminated Sub-contracted out teacher substitutes Reduced Building and Department Budgets

Advantages and Disadvantages of a Buyout Advantages Avoids layoffs Avoids unemployment costs Saves money over one or two years Significant short-term savings Disadvantages Disrupts normal retirement patterns Mass exodus of experienced teachers Costs the district money over time
12
Why Doesn’t a Buyout Work? Generally, people can’t afford to retire more than two years early Buyout gives away the savings between step 10 and step 0 Each subsequent year, the replacement teacher is one or two steps ahead on the salary schedule (prematurely hired instead of the normal replacement process)
13
What is the Biggest Issue Facing PASD? Health Insurance? Retirement Rate? Lack of Funding From the State? Fuel or Utility Costs? Although all of the above are important, one of the biggest issue facing PASD is: DECLINING ENROLLMENT

So, What Does This Mean? So, What Does This Mean? District-wide, there are 11 elementary rooms not being used for core K-6 classrooms. Taking all the classrooms and an average of 27 per class, student capacity for elementary is over 1,200. –Elementary is currently at a level of 60% capacity. Enrollment at the elementary level is such that the district can operate two elementary schools instead of three.
25
What About Other Levels? What About Other Levels? Enrollment will continue to decline at middle school and high school levels over the next few years as the low numbers trickle upward. Enrollment at the middle school is such that we could move 6 th grade up to middle school, which would compare with other districts in the area. Adjustments will continue to be made each year with staffing levels. We will continue to take advantage of opportunities to reduce expenses in all areas.
