 Last year a cost estimate for an EBD program was

presented to the Board with a cost analysis of in- district versus Out of District (OOD).

 Prior to the January 2017 budget work session, the

2017-2018 proposed budget had $481,196 in tuition to private & other schools.

 This represented an increase of $151,259 over the

2016-2017 current budget of $329,937.

 The EBD program was proposed as a budget

neutral item and approved at the 1/17/17 budget work session.

 2017-2018 proposed budget changes as of

1/17/17:

• The tuition line was $481,196 and then

reduced by $202,500 in anticipation of bringing some OOD student(s) back to Henniker Community School (request in proposed budget remains $278,696 ).

• By keeping students in district for 2017-

2018, we reduced tuition cost by $51,241.

 The EBD Program shows $133,700 as a

budget driver

 EBD positions equal $133,700 in salary

increases:

• 1 FTE Special Ed Teacher = $55,0001
• 1 FTE School Psychologist = $65,0002
• 3 FTE Paraprofessionals = $39,0001
• .4 FTE BCBA = $26,7001

Note 1: New staff positions for the EBD program Note 2: The salary reflects an additional $13,000 over the current .6 school psychologist’s salary, as this position becomes a1.0 FTE position.
