  2. How we created the budget Budget Creation • In October the Business Administrator sends a timeline to the staff advising them when the budget requests are due. • The Superintendent and Business Administrator prioritize requests and remove those not educationally or fiscally responsible. • The individual requests account for less than 10% of the budget. The remaining 90% consists of fixed costs, such as salaries, utilities, insurance, lease payments, etc. • The Superintendent and Business Administrator submit a preliminary budget to the Board by the first Board Meeting in January. Rockaway Borough Budget - First Edition • The First Edition of the budget was going to include a 3% tax increase. • After all numbers were complied the budget was more than $818,000 over the 3% tax increase goal. • Superintendent and Business Administrator make preliminary deductions. • Budget presented to the Board in January 2010.

  3. How we created the budget Rockaway Borough Budget Second Edition The Second Edition of the budget was going to include a 3% tax increase In order to make this possible. After all numbers were complied the budget was still $419,272 over the 3% tax increase goal. Additional reductions were discussed. Budget presented to the Board in January 2010. The Business Administrator prepares the new budget including/subtracting things discussed at the Board Meeting.

  4. How we created the budget • Rockaway Borough Budget • Third Edition • The County Business Administrator instructed Morris County School Districts to anticipate a 15% reduction in State Aid.

  5. How we created the budget • Rockaway Borough Budget • Fourth Edition On March 17, six days before the preliminary budget is due to the County Office, State Aid notices are released. Rockaway Borough lost $362,736 or 58% of State Aid.
