








Part of the Governor’s goal is to increase educational spending
while decreasing the state deficit and decreasing property
taxes
Restore the cut to the Accountability Block Grant
Restore the Educational Assistance Program
Restore partial Charter School reimbursement
Restore funding for Dual Enrollment Programs
Increase funding for Career and Technical Education
Increase funding for Early Childhood Education
Increase in Special Education funding based on dynamic

OTHER PROPOSED CHANGES

Cyber Charter School Reform – Establish a statewide tuition rate at $5,950
for regular education students and a rate based on expense category for
special education students with a minimum of $8,985 and a maximum of
$44,387

Currently the district pays $9,043.46, per student, for regular
education and $17,622 for special education to charter schools and
expense is budgeted to be approximately for the 2015-2016 fiscal year

Proposal to fully fund pension obligations by reducing excessive investment
management fees, reducing high risk investment strategies, eliminating the
charter/cyber charter pension double dip, and ensuring all contributions
are paid in full

School districts should see a reduction in their employer contribution in
2016-2017 through allocation of monies from increased Liquor Control
Board profits

The increase from 2014-2015 to 2015-2016 is 20.7% and equates to
approximately $153,923 for the Fairfield Area School District net of
anticipated reimbursement.
CONTINUED…..

Fund Balance Restrictions – no school district could raise real
property taxes unless the adopted budget includes a fund
balance that has an estimated ending UNASSIGNED fund balance
equal to or less than 4% of its total expenditures

The Governor’s Budget also includes an increase in minimum
wage from $7.25 to $10.10
 For the Fairfield Area School District this equates to
approximately $975 in additional payroll dollars for the
general fund
 Basic
Education Funding Commission must issue a report by June
10, 2015 with recommendations for a new formula
 Items discussed include the elimination of hold harmless
 Enrollment
 Demographics
 Other expenses
ACCOUNTABILITY
 The
budgeted increase to Basic Ed Funding does not
come without strings
 Districts are required to submit a plan to PDE by
May 15, 2015
 Describe the intended use of funds
 Show how funds will increase student success
with 9 Benchmarks established
 14 Prescribed Uses of Funding
 Plan will be approved by June 15, 2015
 Keep in mind, final budget approval is due by
June 30, 2015
PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
 Governor
wishes to “Reduce the average
homeowner’s property tax by 50%...many senior
citizens will see their property taxes eliminated
altogether.”
A
very long formula results in 114 school districts
receiving 100% residential property tax
reduction, 83 at only 25% and the median
remaining at 53%
 Not
having a philosophical or political discussion
on the effects on the individual as this is to
broad and varied
