  4. Smart School BudgetingResources Two Examples • #1: How Americans Would Slim Down Public Education, Steve Farkas and Ann Duffett Page 5 of the Smart Budgeting Toolkit • #2: Toward Effective Resource Use: Assessing How Education Dollars are Spent, Jason Willis, Robert Durante and Paul Gazzerro Page 11 of the Smart Budgeting Toolkit

  5. Smart School BudgetingResources How Americans Would Slim Down Public Education • Shrink the Administration • Freeze Salaries to Save Jobs • Teacher Layoffs Based on Effectiveness • Larger Class Sizes • IRA’s instead of Pension Plans

  6. Smart School BudgetingResources How Americans Would Slim Down Public Education From 1986-2009 • # of Students up by 24% • # of Teachers up by 43% • # of Instructional Support Staff up by 150%!

  7. Smart School BudgetingResources How Americans Would Slim Down Public Education Public Sentiment • Reducing Teacher Pay by 5% rather than laying off 5% of staff • 76% believe too many SPED students mislabeled • Closing or merging small schools • 66% OPPOSE shortening the school year • 70% want to disapprove of reducing non-teaching staff

  8. Smart School BudgetingResources Toward Effective Resource Use: Assessing How Education Dollars are Spent Two Ways to Achieve Effective Resource Use in Education • Identify Resource Configurations to Help Raise Student Achievement • Eliminate Inefficiencies, mainly Non-Instruction Spending

  9. Smart School BudgetingResources Eliminating Inefficiencies • Public Pension Guarantees, i.e. Providence Public Schools unfunded liability problem • Health Insurance Costs, ASBO survey said 58% was a big concern • Fuel and Energy, 17% of transportation costs is fuel • Fuel and Energy, 25% of O and M budget is energy

  10. Smart School BudgetingResources Eliminating Inefficiencies Barriers to Increasing Discretionary Funding for Education • Resistance by Local Taxpayers • Pressure for Student Academic Achievement: NCLB Uneven State Support for Education

  11. Smart School BudgetingResources Raising Student Achievement Framework for the Continual Improvement Process • Principal #1 Identify • Principal #2: Solve • Principal #3 Communicate

  13. Smart School Budgeting Utility Budgeting • Utility Budget = Cost of Energy X Consumption • Cost of Energy = Supply + Distribution • Cost of Energy = Supply + Distribution – Solar Credits • Projected Energy Cost: Supply • Projected Energy Cost: Distribution

  14. Smart School Budgeting Utility Budgeting • Usage or Consumption • Historical Usage Amounts • Projected Usage Amounts • Previous Year’s Data • Previous 3 Years’ Date

  15. Smart School Budgeting Utility Budgeting Utility Budget = Projected Cost of Energy X Projected Consumption

  16. Smart School Budgeting Utility Budgeting In most cases you know your projected supply and distribution costs.

  21. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Something to Consider: Using Heating Degree Days to assist with the Calculation.

  22. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days What is Heating Degree Days? Each Day’s Average Temperature’s Difference from the Base Temperature for Heating, usually 65 degrees. Example: If the Base is 65 degrees & today’s temperature was 45 degrees, today added 20 HDDs to the Heating Season Total.

  23. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service Climate Information

  24. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Local NOAA Weather Stations • Boston • Hartford • Providence • Worcester

  25. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Other Sources for Tracking HDD • Local Newspaper under “Weather” section • National Grid or other utility Websites • Oil Supplier Websites • Weather Data Depot Website • ClimateZONE.com Website

  26. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Why Use Heating Degree Days?

  27. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days • Tracks Recent Climate Change • Tracks Trending Patterns • Takes into Account more than 1 Year • Helps you Determine the Average HDD • Add’l Data to Help Project Utility Budget

  28. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Possible Budgeting Uses: • kWh (kilowatt hour) per HDD How many kWh’s last year, how many HDD’s? • #2 Heating Oil Gallon per HDD How many gallons last year, how many HDD’s? • Same questions over multiple years • Consumption: A Reflection of HDDs! Similar to the K Factor used by oil companies

  31. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Other Uses for Heating Degree Days: • Calculating How Much Utility Money will be Used during the current Fiscal Year. • Calculating How Much Utility Money will be Saved during the current Fiscal Year. • Calculating How Much Utility Money Over Expenditures you will need to divert to Utilities during the Current Fiscal Year. • Calculating How Much Utility Money Savings you can divert to other Expenditures during the Current Fiscal Year. • Preparing and Planning Earlier in the Year.

  32. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Other Use for Heating Degree Days: It’s January 15th the mid-point of the HDD season, on average, and this year’s HDDs are 10% below average. (Average Midpoint is between 1/15-1/21)

  33. Smart School Budgeting Heating Degree Days Other Use for Heating Degree Days: Or at any point in the season, checking the local newspaper for this year’s HDDs vs. the average HDDs.
