  1. 2007-08 Budget Presentation: How Did We Get Here? Ron Machado Sharon Gillenwater Frannie Roche April 17, 2007

  2. The planning process • Seek Community Input - Student Surveys (October 2006, January 2007) - Teacher Survey (January 2007) - Parent Survey (January 2007) - SSC Committee Meetings (Ongoing in 2006 and 2007) • Set Priorities Based On Community Input • Align With District Goals • Write Academic Plan • Complete Budget and Adjust Plan and Programs Based on Available Funds - This step involves extensive collaboration with the PTA, to determine the feasibility of funding programs beyond what district funds allow

  3. Snapshot of community priorities

  4. Setting priorities for the community * The parents had two lists, “Funding Priorities” and “Wish List,” so we included the top five from both lists in this table. Suggestion: next year we should ask staff and parents to prioritize from the same list to ensure we are comparing apples to apples.

  5. So what can we do? Library is being addressed through a makeover, courtesy of Rebuilding Together, as well as approximately $4,000 in funding that will be rolled over from the 2006-07 budget. Field Trips are being addressed through a doubling of the classroom stipends (from $400 per class to $800 per class), individual classroom fundraising, and nominal per-pupil contributions for specific field trips (e.g., $5 per child). Writing Skills are being addressed through continuation of a teacher development program that will continue into the first part of the 2007-08 school year. Foreign Language is being addressed through MEEP.

  6. Not funded (as of now) Note: Please keep in mind that our budget for 2007-08 is currently like a moving target! Depending on our enrollment, additional disbursements from other district monies, and the fact that we are still in the running for QEIA funding, it is possible that we could find additional funds to reinstate some of the programs we have had to cut in this preliminary budget. The real picture for 2007-08 will not be clear until we are well into Summer.

  7. 2007-08 Budget Snapshot 2006-2007 Budget: $199,000 29% SSC 68%PTA

  8. PTA Fundraising: 2006-07 Snapshot • MTFK contributions came from 41% of population Gifts ranged from $10 to $5,000 80% increase over 2005-2006 • Phenomenal success of Read-A-Thon Raised $14,000, 75% increase over 2005-2006 • * Spring Festival goal $20,000

  9. PTA Fundraising: 2007-08 Summary How Do We Plan To Meet These Aggressive Goals? • From the very beginning of the school year better educate community on how programs are funded and the importance of contributing and EARLY • More assertive MFTK appeal during fall to improve cash flow and allow focus on other events in spring • Aim for a 60% MFTK participation rate (up from 41% this year) • Continue to grow proceeds from other events—Read-A-Thon and Spring Festival • Rummage Sale and Sally Foster remain steady but do their part

  10. Thank You
