Board Work Session Today on Next Year's Budget

Here's the agenda.

There isn't a lot new in it.

And you'd think - if you were bleeding dollars because hundreds of students you expected did not show up - some kind of discussion about that issue.  Zero on that.


It's fine to point the finger at the Legislature, especially as it gets later and later for school districts who have to prepare and pass budgets for the next school year.  But I recall that staff said the district lost about $7M this year from students who didn't show up.  You'd think there would be some kind of forensic analysis on possible reasons.  I'm surprised the Board didn't tell the Superintendent they wanted to see

Page 10 shows the loss of students - about 700 last year and 700 this year.  And, they say that they are 98% right on their prediction. And they predict more enrollment drops next year.

Why are they not attempting to understand this trend is what troubles me.  It is just one in a long line of issues that is leading me to believe that there is a pattern developing in SPS and why it is happening is anyone's guess.

The cuts are on page 35.  What is still there in terms of a Restoration Plan (page 29) says this:

1.Fully restore WSS - $12.2m

2.Restore 50% of:
•Fall Enrollment
•Central Admin funding

3.Prorate the remaining:
•Fall Enrollment
•Central Admin funding
•Curriculum
•24 credits

Note: Central Admin and Fall Enrollment are recommended to be first, as these impact staffing positions. 

So you could start reading the list and think - because of positioning - that #1 would be the first restoration but staff still stands by restoring their cuts first because those staff are needed for the other restoration items.  But HR is only losing 2.5 FTE; they really cannot restore WSS cuts first without those people?
