  1. LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICTFY ’06 BUDGET Presentation for the LS Website January 26, 2005

  2. The Following Presentation What follows is an updated version of the presentation of the Lincoln-Sudbury Budget that was made to the Finance Committees in both towns. It is primarily a visual presentation, rather than a narrative one, and is essentially divided into three parts.

  3. Part 1 The current state of the school and its financial status, along with the recent historical trends that have resulted in our current situation.

  4. Part 2 The impact that the downward trend has had from a student’s perspective. You should be able to see clearly the students in 2001-02 attended a very different school, with much more favorable class sizes, fewer fees, and many more opportunities for close relationships with teachers, counselors and advisers.

  5. Part 3 The 2006 budget request represents an attempt to return to the level of service provided in 2004. The last year in which class sizes were at an appropriate level was actually 2002, but the School Committee feels that, just as the losses to the system have occurred over a number of years, efforts at any kind of restoration need to be reasonable.
