State and Local Revenue Change for the Past Decade STATE REVENUE TREND 2008-2015 While CV’s enrollment, PSERS obligations, and Health Care Costs have climbed dramatically over the past decade, state funding as a function of enrollment has not. Over the past decade, on average CV’s funding it is below the per student in 2009. At the same time, 18 of the 24 districts in the IU losing enrollment did not see their funding levels drop proportionally. LOCAL REVENUE TREND SINCE 2008 for the Cumberland Valley School District LOCAL REVENUE TREND 2008-2015 As a result of record enrollments and the resulting need for staff, a doubling of economically disadvantaged and minority students, increased ESL and special education programs and costs, the PSERS crisis, rising health care costs, increasing state and federal unfunded mandates, and no logical funding formula from the state, the obligation to educate our children fell to the local tax payer. It is also important to note that the ability to raise revenue is controlled by the State through Act 1 and that the Cumberland Valley School District has never asked for exceptions to going beyond the Act 1 Index.

General Fund Expenditures for the Past Decade Facing record enrollments and the resulting need for staff, a doubling of economically disadvantaged students, ESL and special education populations and associated costs dramatically on the rise, the PSERS crisis, soaring employer health care costs, and increasing unfunded state and federal mandates our General Fund Expenditures per student are virtually unchanged from 2008. The school districts in our region and school districts across the state both show a 25% increase in per student costs over the same period.
