BTO Budget Allocation Sheet• Staffing allocation• Non-Staffing allocation• Both the Staffing and Non-Staffing allocations
are driven by the projected number of students• The projected number of students and the
staffing and non-staffing allocations have a direct relationship with each other; if enrollment increases, allocations increase and conversely, if enrollment decreases, allocations decrease.
Staffing Formulas for a Regular High School
• Regular Classes: Staff for 6 out of 8 classes daily. Class size target of 29 students.
• CATE: Included in the regular HS teacher allocation, with some separate additional allocations, according to need.
• Special Ed: Caseload of 24 to 1 for resource & inclusion. Caseload of 12 to 1 for life skills, PPCD, SBS, SCORES. Additional considerations as required by ARD.
Staffing Formulas for a Regular Middle School
• Regular Classes: Staff for 6 out of 8 classes daily. Class size target of 29 students.
• CATE: Allocated separately, according to need.• Special Ed: Caseload of 21 to 1 for resource &
inclusion. Caseload of 12 to 1 for life skills, PPCD, SBS, SCORES. Additional considerations as required by ARD.
• No. of Student Projection x No. of Classes for Students : 2,560 x 8 = 20,480 Student Contacts
• No. of Classes Taught x No. of Students Per Class: 6 x 29 = 174 Student Load
• Total Teacher Allocation = Student Contacts / Student Load (20,480 / 174 = 118 Teachers)

Non Staffing Allocation• Per Pupil Allocation: $71 /$64/$59 x Weighted
Students
Weighted Students = Enrollment + (Enrollment * Free/Reduced % * 20%)
For example: 560 students + (560 x 70.55% * 20%) = 560 + 79 = 639 weighted students
• Staff Development: $500 + ($131 x # of professional Staff). It is recommended that 90% of the staff development be allotted for teacher subs.
• Classified Overtime: $500 per clerical staff
Example: For 12 FTEs for Secretary and Clerical Staff,
Classified Overtime will be 12 x $500 or $6,000
• ROTC allotment: $3,500 (Secondary)
• School Lunch Monitoring (Elementary)
Non Staffing Allocation
Planning for the Coming Year Budget
• Non staff allocations are provided in one lump sum amount. Principals can spread the money to various accounts (supplies, copier rental, refreshments for school functions, or additional professional dev, etc.)
• Detail general reports are available for current and prior years to provide historical spending trend
Planning for the Coming Year Budget• Principals have discretion to purchase
additional FTEs using the non staff allocation
• Principals may exchange positions within their BTO. Guidelines for position exchange must be followed to warrant the existence of certain positions that are critical for the campus operations. Please refer to the guidelines of Position Exchange for reference.
Planning for the Coming Year Budget• The planning process can start as early as
September each year• Unless there is a change in staffing formulas,
regular teacher FTEs will only fluctuate when the number of student projection increases or decreases at your campus
• Special Ed teacher allocations are driven by the types of Special Ed students who will enroll at your campus. Individual student needs are driven by the IEP/ARD process
Planning for the Coming Year Budget• The timeline for the budget process is to guide staff to
finish the budget in a timely manner, yet to allow time to present the budget to the Board, community and meet other legally mandated rules and regulations.
• Though the Preliminary Budget is submitted in February, the Recommended Budget is not finalized until July 20 when the TCAD provides the District certified value, principals, therefore, can still submit changes up to July 10.
