FROM THE DISTRICT'S WEBSITE UNDER BUDGET PRESENTATION RESOURCES:
Budget Enhancement:
K-6 World Language $550,000.00
Increased focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
through the development of courses 6-12 $259,000.00
Restore Gifted and Talented Programing K-8
(my note: Unless I am mistaken, Gifted and Talented is required by law. HOW it is done is at the district's discretion. So I wonder at the word "restore".) $242,640.00
Increase Librarians at the Elementary Level $285,000.00
ACT Curricular Alignment and Testing $83,000.00
Intervention Strategies for Elementary and Middle School math (double session of learning) $708,000.00
(my question: Does this mean hiring more teachers?)
Instructional software for research based interventions (20% intervention need)
$90,000.00
This would mean:
Tax at allowable rate
Projected to be an 8.3% increase
(assuming the state funding is the same)
Alternative revenue sources which could include an operating referendum
Reverse the trend of reductions and begin to look to sustain and enhance
