FY12 & 13 Maintenance Spending Plan
FY12 Maintenance Costs Reflecting Increased Spending
3000-1000 (Admin): $1,078,208
• Union salary and leased space increases
• Fill positions that support critical areas: Fiscal, Policy, Quality Supports,
and Communication.
3000-2000 (Access Management): $150,000
• Annualized cost to maintain COTS Waitlist system
FY12 Maintenance Costs in Child Care Accounts
3000-3050 (Supportive): $7,054,005
• Anticipated historical growth of 8.234% each year
3000-4050 (DTA Related): $8,885,936
• Anticipated FY11 expenditures plus 3% growth
3000-4060 (Income Eligible): $3,098,954
• Maintains existing levels of access (about 55,000 children statewide) in
total caseload plus an increase in infant/toddler rate. (The 2009 Child Care
Market Survey indicates EEC rates are significantly below median by region
and type of care. This increase reduces the gap between the current EEC
rate and the Market Survey median rate.)

Note that spending in the Supportive and DTA related accounts reflects legislative
language that there should not be a wait list.


“Based on modeling done by A&F, it is clear that we will again have a gap
between projected revenues and spending and therefore will not be able to
afford maintenance levels of funding in FY12 and FY13.”

A&F will continue to set spending caps.

A&F has NOT yet provided FY12 spending targets to each Secretariat in order
to develop balanced FY12 budget recommendations.
FY12 EEC Budget Recommendations

Building Quality Infrastructure in Admin Account
 Value: $316,005
 This figure is based on the cost of negotiated step increases; the value of
collective bargaining agreement raises; the cost of lease increases in the Boston
and Springfield offices; an increase in the cost of postage; and other minor
costs.
There will be staff reductions in FY12 unless funds are restored to the admin
account.
 Value: $650,505 (to fill positions essential to EEC infrastructure)
 We continue to need additional staff to support communication and other
roles.
Total Value: $966,510 (This does not include the collective bargaining
agreement payment of $111,698 which EEC will receive in FY11 for union
negotiated salary increases. We presume this to be part of the FY12
maintenance figure.)

FY12 EEC Budget Recommendations


Support QRIS Activities
 Value: $4.0M
 QRIS has raises the standard of care and must therefore be supported with its
own annual appropriation. Likely source of funding is a transfer from IE to
Quality Support.

Increase Funding for Professional Development
 Value: $500K
 The FY11 statewide implementation of a professional development network
once implemented is expected to have a demand which exceeds current
funding.

Add Funding for Evaluation
 Value: $250K
 Evaluation provides the framework to assess the value of FY11 programs and
initiatives to formulate recommendations for future policies and programs.

Return Mental Health (3000-6075) to FY10 Funding Level
Value: $250,000 (Total value = $1M)
Reduction in funding cut services and emphasis on supporting crisis assistance
for children in need of services. More children with mental health issues are
being served in child care.
