How do we build your PK-8 Budget to begin the Zero-Based Budget Process?
Step 1 - Review Required Spending+ Contracted Salaries, (Negotiated, then fixed for 3 years)+ Contracted Health Benefits (Negotiated, then the benefits are
fixed for 3 years, however the costs are not.)+ Mandated Special Education Spending+ Mandated Professional Services: Lawyer, Auditor, Architect+ Essential Building Maintenance: Custodial supplies & repairs+ Transportation+ Mandated Insurances+ Fixed Equipment Costs + State Mandated Testing Services
TOTAL REQUIRED SPENDING

How do we build your PK-8 Zero-Based Budget?Step 2 – Identify Variable Costs
+ Trends analysis to estimate any increases in current costs(done by Business Administrator)

Leaving 11.22 % variable costsfor things like…
• Textbooks• Teacher Training/Professional Development
(actually becoming a mandated cost-there are 19 current mandated regulations and at least 32 policies that require training or some type of additional cost to school districts)
• General supplies for departments• Unexpected State mandates
throughout the year (PARCC & Security)
• Or other possible improvements to programs, instruction or facilities…….aligning the curriculum to the Common Core Standards, snow and storm damage repairs

How do we build your PK-8 Zero-Based Budget?Step 3 - Estimate Aid & Income(Revenue, other than Local Taxes)
+ State Aid: Given by Department of Ed, figures expected end of February (with NJ’s budget deficit, State Aid will probably decrease or remain the same)
+ Surplus: Calculated during prior year audit+ Federal Aid: Calculated on trend analysis and projections+ Tuition: Based on current/expected contracts and trend analysis+ Other: Calculated on trend analysis and contractual commitments
(includes investment income, building usage and shared services agreements)
TOTAL REVENUE NOT FROM TAXES

Step 4 - ContinuedCalculation of Your PK-8 Tax Levy
Budget Cap:Legally, the local tax increasecannot exceed 2% per year
without a cap over-ride referendum voted on by the taxpayers
There is no vote on the annual school based budget within the 2% levy cap.

If the proposed budget increase is 2% or less, and all of the approvals are
complete, then this is the final budget.
