  1. RSU 40 / MSAD 40 Budget- 2013-2014 Presentation of budget information: Susan A. Pratt,Superintendent Karla Miller, Business Manager

  2. The Focus of School Funding • Essential Programs and Services • The Basis for School Funding in its 8th year. • Applying the Model to a School Unit • Maine’s Funding Formulafor Sharing the Costs of K-12 Education Between State and Local SAU’s • Determines the EPS Defined Cost for each Unit using a variety of ratios and cost allotments • Determines the Required Local Share of Those Costs The Difference Between the two is the State’s Share of funding.

  3. Essential Programs & Services The Concept: Essential Programs and Services is designed to insure that all schools have the programs and resources that are essential for all students to have an equitable opportunity to achieve Maine’s Learning Standards. The EPS model provides a basis for adequacy and greater equity in the funding of K-12 education because it is cost driven instead of expenditure driven like the old model was. The model is designed to respond to student needs and is based on years of research and information gleaned from high performing cost effective school units.

  4. Instructional Areas Included in EPS: • Career and Educational Development • English Language Arts • Health & Physical Education • Mathematics • World Languages • Science & Technology • Social Studies • Visual and Performing Arts

  11. Essential Programs & Services C. Specialized Student Populations: 1. Special Needs Pupils • An Additional 1.27 Weighted Pupil Count, Up to a Maximum of 15% of an SAU’s Resident Enrollment - an Additional 127% of the Units EPS Rate • Adjustments • A. Prevalence Rate Above 15% Calculated at 0.38 Weighted Pupil Count - An Additional 38% of the EPS Rate • B. Districts With Fewer Than 20 Special Needs Pupils Adjusted for Staffing Ratios and Cost of Related Services • C. High Cost in District Pupils • D. High Cost Out-of-District Pupils • E. Maintenance of Effort (Federal IDEA) • F. Appeal Process

Economically Disadvantaged Students • An Additional .15 Weighted Pupil Count for Each Child in a School District Eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch - an Additional 15% of the Units EPS Rate 3. Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Pupils • A Three Level Weighted Per Pupil Formula Ranging From .30 to .70 Depending on the Total Number of LEP Pupils in the District - An Additional 30% to 70% of the Units EPS Rate. • RSU 40/MSAD40 rate is 70% 4. Grade K-2 Pupils - (Targeted Funds) • An Additional .10 Weighted Pupil Count for Each Child in Grades K-2 in the School District - An Additional 10% of the Units EPS Rate

  15. F. School Level Adjustments: 1. Transportation • Unique Predicted Cost Calculations for Each School Unit Based on it’s Pupil Density. • RSU 40 subsidizable costs for FY 13 was $1,374,362.52

  16. F. School Level Adjustments: 2. Isolated Small Schools • Elementary Schools: 10% Transition Adjustment in EPS Rate • Secondary Schools: Lower Pupil Teacher Ratios With 200 or Fewer Pupils 13:1 and 100 or Fewer Pupils 11:1 • RSU 40 received $97,049.61 in FY 13 3. Vocational Education • District received $754,320.70 multiplied by our state rate of 44.52 % for FY13 4. Debt Service • District received 1,385,229.71 multiplied by our state rate of 44.52% for FY 13

  18. Proposed Budget 2013-14 • Goals • Maintains or expands programs for students • Examine current budget against EPS figures • Present the Board a 0% budget cap as directed by Board vote. • Plan to maintain facilities upgrades for efficiency • Align staffing levels with district needs

  19. Comparison of RSU40 to EPS Based on FY 13

  20. Per Pupil Rate Comparison

  21. Other Adjustments

  22. Statewide Per Pupil Cost Out of 229 schools systems in Maine according to the 2011/2012 per pupil operating costs, only 84 or 36% spend less per pupil to educate their students. The state average is $9,726.80 and RSU 40’s rate is $9,295.28. RSU 40 spends 4.6% less than state average per pupil.

  23. Historic Trends in Valuations- Towns in RSU 40

  24. Revenue Changes

  25. Proposed Budget The Administrative Team worked to create a responsible budget aligned to the Board Budget Cap of 0%. This budget draft reflects the 0% with 2 prioritized lists of items the administrator recommend the Board give consideration. The reductions and adjustments listed are not things that were done lightly. The Administrative Team’s preference would be to have made changes based on district needs with more options for students but, in these tough economic times, hard decisions were made. We want a program that can be stable, has children’s needs at the center of it, and moves toward 21st Century Learning and that will address standards-based proficiency.

  26. Proposed Budget Continued • Over 70% of the district budget is allocated to salaries and benefits. Our energy costs continue to be somewhat unstable. As you can see in the following slides, it has been a very difficult and challenging budget to develop. • For this school system, the administrative team feels the proposed budget without any additions is too lean to allow for system growth that can positively impact students.

  27. Budget Adjustments Changes in the current proposal: Alignment of cost for energy to actual expenditures by cost center. Staffing fully matched to cost center and program. New items in the proposed budget: Teacher- Miller School Lifeskills Program-$50,000 Teacher- Medomak Valley High School Day Treatment Program- $50,000 .5 Asst. Principal position- MVHS for restructure to include Grant Writing- $32,000 Cost of adding a late bus for MMS- $6,393 Amount to fully fund Plato Program at MVHS- $3,000 Total- $141,393
