WARREN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS BUDGET FY 2019-2020

Joint Budget Meeting

• Unsure % increase in insurance rates ($309,943 est.)
• Electricity costs increase ($225,000)
• New money from state if we enact a 5% increase to salaries over

the biennium. Means a 3% COL for 2019-2020. No impact to budget since we covered a 2% increase last year.

• Complete promised step increase from 2019 ($510,647)
• Begin working on market adjustments to salaries ($2,325,105)

― Phase 1 $1,089,000 (teachers, support staff) ― Phase 2 estimated $812,294 (teachers, support staff) ― Phase 3 estimated $423,811 (teachers, support staff)

• Meet a few of the most critical needs with personnel, and non

labor costs that are increasing. WCPS has identified $2.58

• million. The request is $267,276.
• Total: $2,401,866

WCPS Budget Drivers FY 2019-2020

Joint Budget Meeting

• WCPS is in its 7th consecutive year of needing to hire

60 or more instructional staff each year. This past year, WCPS hit 72.

• If WCPS lost 10% of its instructional staff each year,

a healthy turnover rate, it would be in the 40 person range.

• The majority of the instructional staff are
• inexperienced. 74% of the teachers at Skyline

Middle School have five (5) years of experience or fewer, 68% at E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School, 58% at Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School.

• No school has less than 43%. The percentage of

teachers with five (5) years of experience or fewer should be 20% in a healthy distribution of staff.

Why the Compensation Study?

Joint Budget Meeting

• A high school graduate impacts the community

he/she lives in for 44 years. A successful graduate has a positive impact. An unsuccessful graduate can have a negative impact. Excellent schools make a difference.

• Tax dollars citizens put into their schools is a direct

investment into the community, the region, the state and even the nation.

• The Compensation Study is not just about paying

people more money. It is about being competitive, strengthening the schools, and ensuring WCPS is graduating as many highly successful young people as possible.
