Background:
|
The MPS community is beginning the process of defining budget parameters and high leverage strategies to be used in the planning and development of the 2018-19 (FY19) budget. As part of this process, identifying methods for getting community input and participation will be discussed and implemented. FY19 is the second year of the State's biennial budget cycle. As such, the state parameters are known.
The Board, by state statute, is required to adopt an annual budget.
The following items have been preliminarily identified to be included in the FY19 budget planning:
(1) Be prepared based on the adopted State budget; specifically, there is no annual increase in the per pupil revenue limit for school districts;
(2) Maximize the revenue limit;
(3) Include a reserve for raises for all employees;
(4) Allocate funds to schools in a manner that preserves or decreases class size; and;
(5) Identify necessary spending reductions to maintain a balanced budget.
In addition high-leverage strategies to improve student achievement are being considered that impact the budget, including but not limited to the following:
(1) Three tiered busing
(2) One instructional calendar
(3) The Long-Range Facilities Master Plan
(4) Initiatives to celebrate our students and schools
(5) The Regional Development Plan / program offerings
(6) Program placement and alignment
