Budget Outlook for 2017-18 and 2018-19

3

Budget reductions are necessary due to:

  • Declining enrollment – we are funded on a per-student basis:
  • Charter schools
  • Families moving from area
  • Personnel cost increase
  • Class sizes lower than maximum allowed
  • Required Language Art book adoption and related training
slide-4
SLIDE 4
  • Housing costs (affect RCSD more than neighboring

districts due to the high percentage of low-income families we serve)

  • 3 new charter schools

– Connect opened in 2013-14(246students) – KIPP (500 students) and Rocketship (290 students)

  • pened in 2015-16
  • Our schools are undervalued

Amount Needed to Balance Budget

Funding Basics

  • RCSD is among the lowest funded in San Mateo

County, with significantly lower funding than most of the districts feeding into Sequoia Union HSD

  • Funding drives class size, salary and many services
  • The only way for RCSD to increase funding:

– Grants – Private dona\ons – Parcel tax – Enroll more students – Improve a_endance of enrolled students – Advocate for increased state funding

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Why do other districts in San Mateo County have more?

9

  • RCSD is funded primarily by state aid; other districts are funded

primarily by property tax.

  • We cannot change the funding formula – we cannot become a

Basic Aid district.

  • Determined by ratio of students to property tax collected; RCSD

has relatively more students and a relatively lower tax base.

  • In addition, neighboring districts have raised more local revenue

via parcel taxes.

Enrollment and attendance drives funding

An improvement of 1% in attendance = +$700,000

What RCSD is Doing to Improve Budget Outlook

13

  • Analyzing every area where possible reductions can be

made

  • Educating parents, teachers and staff about the

reasons for budget challenges

  • Advocating to state legislators
  • Focusing on improving student attendance
  • Conducting “Meet, Choose, Love RCSD” marketing

campaign to recruit and retain students

slide-14
SLIDE 14

What You Do to Help?

14

  • Promote our schools to friends and neighbors – help us

enroll more students

  • Bring your child to school every day unless they are ill!
  • Stay involved at your school so you learn of new

developments

  • Ask questions so you understand why decisions are

made

  • Make sure you get the facts and share it with your

friends – if in doubt, ask your principal

  • Be patient if we must turn to last-resort solutions such

as larger class sizes and combination classes

  • Write to your state legislator to let them know funding is

not adequate
