The Federal Grant budget is projected to decrease about $300,000 below the current <br />year's budget due to anticipated reductions in Title I, Head Start, Vocational Education, and <br />Educational Technology grants A $5.4 million federal budget is estimated. <br />I <br />This budget document includes an estimated Recurring Capital budget for 2006 -07 <br />for both school districts in the amount of $2,290,258. This is the same total received in 2005 - <br />06; no official budget information has been received from the county to date.. Our district will <br />receive about 60% of the recurring capital budget or an estimated $1,408,508. <br />A preliminary Child Nutrition budget is included, This budget assumes the approval <br />of an additional $.10 price increase for next school year and a subsidy from the local budget. <br />The 3% salary increase is included and accounts for the majority of the 10% increase in the <br />budget. Labor costs represent 39% of the budget and food costs 37% <br />The Community Schools budget reflects a small 2% decrease from the current year's <br />budget due to a projected reduction in after school and summer camp enrollment. Based on the <br />current ,year's enrollment, the reduced budget is a more realistic expectation.. <br />Summary <br />Salary increase funding will be the major requirement for this budget cycle, along with <br />planning funds for Carrboro High School and the implementation of a seven -period day at the <br />two high schools. A $253 increase to the county per pupil fund rate and a one -cent increase in <br />the special district tax are needed to fully fund the $4.8 million budget request. <br />Respectfully s tted, <br />ONI G. edersen <br />Superintendent <br />IR <br />12 <br />
