REPORTS
BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Hendricks reported the proposed FY11 budget presented to the Finance Committee has a 2.62% increase over last year. It contains three positions deemed necessary for next year and a level service program. Credit should be given to the Unions for helping the district get through difficult times with the state funding. The House Ways and Means Committee today released its budget which indicates a 4% reduction to the state funding. That budget is $400 million dollars less than the Governor’s recommended budget.
Mr. Hendricks will prepare a draft of an informational book for Town Meeting with a detailed explanation of the Expense budget. Expenses are up $710,717 (9.63%) due to the reductions in state and federal aid. IDEA-ARRA has been reduced by $406,252, the Federal Stimulus funding reduced by $99,127 and the Circuit Breaker by $31,256. The entire budget is up $866,807 (2.62%). Salaries/Wages are up 0.50%.
Mrs. Henderson stated credit should be given to the administration, principals, staff and students for making the necessary reductions in all areas of the budget. At some point, these reductions year after year will start taking its toll on the school programs. Union negotiations have kept the district from the deficit it had last year. This has had a very positive effect on the bottom line. Health insurance costs have been controlled and decreased.
Mrs. Henderson requested the Out of District student numbers.
