Background:

Budget parameters will be used in the planning and development of the 2020-21 (FY21) budget. The parameters help to guide the decisions made during the budget preparation process. The parameters are necessarily modified by the resources available.
MPS is committed to developing a budget that reflects a commitment to fair resources, quality and socially transformative learning, a supportive environment for employees and an equitable education system for all with the following parameters as guidance:
1. Ensure there are sufficient resources for high-quality classroom instruction at the Tier 1 level
2. Adjustments and repurposing of educational programming and departmental budgets to prioritize student achievement
3. Fully implement the salary phase-in schedules with a possible cost-of-living increase
4. Consideration of employee benefit modifications for eligible employees to identify cost savings and increase efficiencies
5. Exploration of operating efficiencies including those related to transportation
6. Implement a multitiered mental health approach to promote students' mental health and social emotional learning
7. Strengthen a well-rounded educational experience by increasing the allocation in the areas of school library, art, music and physical education
