  39. Questions

  40. Thank You!

  41. Community Involvement Outreach • WEF • Alternative Funding Committee • Alumni Association • Booster Clubs/PTO’s • Volunteers/District Committee Members • Civic Groups • Class Gifts and Scholarships

  42. The Purpose of this Forum • Inform you of the forces affecting the future of public education • Gov. Corbett cuts 930 million dollars in education funding from 2011 State Budget • For Warwick that meant about 1.1 million dollars less • Future – flat-lined state appropriation • Additional potential legislation may contribute to more fiscal stress on districts

  43. Legislative Issues/Governor’s Plan for Education • Vouchers • Cyber/Charter Schools • Teacher Evaluation and Accountability • PSER’s • Act 1/School Funding

  44. Tuition Vouchers • Proposal to provide state tax funding to parents to send children to private and other public schools • Issues: • Scope and growth of plan • Cost to taxpayers/impact on SD funding • Constitutionality • Accountability • Student Enrollment • Track Record • Public Sentiment: • Strong, consistent public opposition • Fall 2011 PSBA Poll Results • The Fall Legislative Agenda

  45. Cyber/Charter Schools • Background • Charter School Law enacted 14 years ago (Act 22 of 1997) • Intent was creation of “brick & mortar” schools • Cyber/Charter Schools enacted 9 years ago (Act 88 of 2002) • Currently SD offer the charters to both brick and mortar and cyber • Cyber schools not original intent

  46. Data • 152 Brick & Mortar Charter Schools in PA,44 percent did not make AYP • 500 SD in PA, 6 percent did not make AYP • 12 Cyber/Charter Schools in PA, only 2 made AYP • All Warwick buildings/all subjects/all grade spans/all sub groups made AYP • Warwick pays an average $8,080 for each regular education cyber schooler; $17,898 for each special education cyber schooler • Warwick currently has 89 students enrolled in cyber schools, with a projected total cost of $856,544.079

  47. Cyber/Charter Schools • Issues: • Government proposing that school districts will no longer govern their own students, PDE will set up their own dept. to oversee. • Proposal: • Cyber/Charter -freedom to choose students. • Cyber/Charter - not mandated to offer same programs as public schools.

  48. Lancaster County Charter/Cyber School CostsBased on 2009-2010 Average Enrollment & Expenditures 1Figures derived from PDE-432 (Reconciliation for School Year 2009-10, Payable 2010-11)

  49. Teacher Evaluation • Current work on NCLB is prescribing waivers if you include student achievement as part of teacher evaluation • Governor Corbett is proposing similar state legislation • Warwick School District’s supervision/evaluation plan is more rigorous than state requirements • Warwick is already working on revamp of current evaluation system

  50. Additional Fiscal Realities • PSER’s – current school employee pension program • Employer contribution is expected to rise significantly in the next few years; this is a fixed cost to the District • Not a choice – legislatively driven • Act 1 – Legislation that sets limits for taxation • Based on economy, that number has been decreasing while other fixed costs are increasing • District has tried to limit additional taxation given the current economic realities
