' 11 Explanations for Additional Continuation Budget Items 1. Six Middle School Teachers - In order to implement the middle school program as recommended to the Hoard of Education, three additional teachers are required at each site. This need arises primarily from the provision of an additional, daily team planning period for middle school teachers wh -.ch reduces their teaching load from five to four pe;-iods per day. 2. Differentiated Pay for Locally Funded Certified Staff -- Through Senate Bill 2, the district will receive funds eq vzu al..:nt to 3% of the salaries of state paid certified staff. The local allocation is required to support locally- funded, certified staff members at the same level. 3. Implications of Increased Enrollment - Increased enrollments result in the need for additional teacher assistants in grades 4 -6, an increase in all line items containing funds which are allocated on a per -pupil basis to the schools, and an increase in supply and equipment funds to cover the start -up costs associated with new classrooms of students. 4. Pay for Performa:.,::e Plan for Administrators - The Pay for Performance Plan provides supplement increases to administrators based upon their performance during the previous school year. The plan will require additional funding for the next few years until administrators begin to reach the top of the supplement scale and /or turnover compensates for increases for incumbent administrators. 5. Operating Costs for New Facilities - The completion of the additions to Phillips and CHHS will require increased allotments for utilities, custodians, and janitorial supplies. In addition, with the expansion of the physical plant, it will be necessary to increase the maintenance budget to support the new facilities as well as the others which will require more maintenance due to their age. This is consistent with the recommendation from the SDPI to provide a maintenance budget equivalent to 2% of the replacement value of our facilities. 6. Additional Transportation Costs - The state is scheduled to implement a new formula for funding transportation operations next year; however, whether or not this, in fact, will occur and what the financial implications for our district would be remain as unanswered questions. Considering that we do not have sufficient funds in our state allocation to pay fringe benefits which were introduced in 1989 -90 and that this year we anticipate receiving only 95% of our allocation, it appears that it will be necessary to budget additional local dollars to maintain our present level of transportation services. In addition, we are not yet able to project the financial implications of redistricting and an expanded exceptional education program for next year. Consequently, some funds should be set aside to support these initiatives.
