  2. GOAL Save $1.5 million

  3. How To Do This: Make Cuts - $1,665,166

  4. Freshman Seminar ($159,600)* • 3.5 teachers would be removed • Freshmen would need to be placed in other classes, increasing the student-teacher ratio **Many who were surveyed stated that the course was only valuable for a week *Page 11

  5. Other Class Cuts* • German 1 (H) – 3 classes offered • German 2 (H) – 2 classes offered • German 3 (H) – 2 classes offered • German 4 (H) – 1 class offered • Spanish 5 (H) – 2 class offered • Spanish for Spanish Speakers 1 – 2 classes offered • AP Music Theory – 1 class offered • By cutting these classes, teachers could teach more demanded courses, therefore decreasing class sizes by opening up 13 block *Page 1

  6. Family and Consumer Science ($345,168)* • 1,053 students would make other classes grow • 8 teachers positions would be opened, but not refilled *Page 1

  7. English Language Learning ($94,000)* • 177 students are currently using this program • Due to Federal Law, taking out the entire ELL program is not an option, therefore 2 teachers, 1 from North and 1 from South, will be removed • Larger student teacher ratio would be created • Keeping students up to par would be more difficult • Only 1 teacher and 1 paraprofessional would be at each school *Page 1

  8. Pheonix Program ($1,000,000*) • Only 70 students are in this program at the high school level • The per pupil cost has increased from $9,100 in 2007 to $14,000 in 2009 *Ninth paragraph down.

  9. Freshman Sports ($66,398)* • Only JV and Varsity sports would be available • Wouldn’t allow young players to improve their skills to make it to the higher levels • Encourages players to try harder during tryouts • Approximately half of the sports teams don’t have a freshman team • Example: Cross Country, Track & Field, Soccer, Cheerleading *$33,199 would be saved at South. This value was doubled to get both North’s and South’s saved money.

  10. How To Do This: Raising Revenue - $1,066,838

  11. Rent Sports Uniforms ($81,510)* • Charge $15 to rent a sports uniform for a season (non refundable) • discourages economically challenged athletes, however the fee could be waivered for the students who have a reduced lunch fee (30%) *This revenue was calculated AFTER removing freshman sports $40,755 would be made at South. This value was doubled to get both North’s and South’s raised revenue.

  12. Advertisements ($315,000)* *on the highway side of the building • The wall is 150 X 105 square feet • Charge $1,000 per square foot • The space would have to be rented annually, making the revenue constant annually, if every square foot is sold • It could be an eye sore *We got the dimensions of the wall from the main office.

  13. Rent Stellos to BG ($10,960)* • Currently BG gets to use Stellos Stadium for free • Charge them $10,960 per year to have the option to use the stadium • This is equivalent to one student’s tuition for a year *BG Tuition per student page

  14. Increase the parking pass cost (about $12,000) • Currently the full year parking passes cost $100 • Increase to $120 a year • The half a year parking pass cost $50 • Increase to $70 • This would create incentive for students to purchase a full year parking pass AND do better in school as well as stay out of trouble so that they can keep the pass

  15. Funding the Music Program ($214,092)* • Local businesses could sponsor for the music programs • Darrell’s Music Hall, the Boston Pops, and local symphonies & orchestra companies • Create an Alumni Fund ** • Lowell Catholic High School has a very successful alumni fund in place *Page 23-24. ** Lowell Catholic High School Alumni Fund Page.

  16. Funding the Art Program ($433,276)* • Local businesses could sponsor the arts • Andres Institute and Currier Art Gallery • Some art supplies could be donated from stores • Michael’s and A.C. Moore • Create an Alumni Fund *Page 23

  17. Discrepancies • Phone Bills* • NHN $43,371. • NHS $15,793. • Physical Education** • NHN $151,948. • NHS $201,299. • Secretary Salaries*** • NHN $124,852 • NHS $67,492 *Page 86 **Page 23 ***Page 27
