Building Footprint and Usage

Staffing 20

Salaries Explanation Since 2012 we have reduced the total number of positions in order to live within the budget. This year shows the increase necessary to meet contractual obligations. Staffing remains a priority for the district. This budget increase does not include any additions in the current staffing level. 21

Negotiations for 2016 � Paraprofessionals (65) � Bus Drivers (28) � Custodians (23) � Food Service Workers (19) 22

Out of District SPED Tuition Explanation Payments to out of district schools for Special Education students have been growing since 2014. Estimates for the increase in cost for FY17 shows a reduction in the pace of growth. This increase includes an estimated 2% growth in the cost of the services provided. 23

Expenditure Trends Heating We have assumed a small increase in heating costs based on FY15 expenditures, increasing 1% in FY16 and 2% in FY17. Utilities We are expecting a 1.5% increase from FY15 to FY16 which will keep it below the FY16 budget and for costs to continue to increase at the same rate into FY17 – allowing us to adjust the budget down. Substitutes FY15 saw an increase in our expenditures on substitutes from FY14. This includes substitutes to cover both short term and long term absences. We are forecasting for this to remain at the same level for FY15 and drop by 1.5% in 24 2017.

All Other Supplies and Services Explanation This category includes all other supplies and services; for example, building maintenance contractual services, instructional supplies, general supplies, custodial supplies and technology. 25
