To: Board of Education From: Larry Spring, Superintendent Date: April 25, 2017 Re: 2017-2018 Budget

Because we received a $7.5 million increase in Foundation Aid, which is one of the largest

in the region, I am pleased to present a budget that not only adds more than $5 million in

programs and services, but, also reduces the tax levy by $1.1 million. In this budget, we

are able to take steps toward closing the opportunity gap by making a significant

investment in supports and services for struggling general education students.

The 2017-2018 Budget reflects a 5.1 percent spending increase, adds 66 positions, does

not use any fund balance and reduces the levy by 2.04 percent.

We started the budget season with a rollover budget deficit. In the early stages of

planning, we made conservative assumptions about how much Foundation Aid we should

expect to receive. Moving forward, the late state budget created some challenges as we

worked to develop a budget proposal by the deadline. To work through the unknowns,

we developed five budget proposals that included increases that ranged from

approximately $1 million to more than $7 million. Finally, with the adoption and release

of the state budget, we were able to more tightly plan and propose a budget that would

include a Foundation Aid increase of $7.5 million.

Many of the positions in the proposed budget support a General Education Continuum

that is designed to identify and provide a systemic pattern of additional supports and

interventions to general education students who struggle in school. The design mirrors

the supports provided in the special education model, offering a broad range of

interventions and services, designed to meet the needs of each student that we are

servicing. The budget includes many positions, including special education and common

branch teachers, clinicians, paraprofessionals and clerical support to provide support for

the continuum, as well as, an administrator to oversee the implementation and

management of the program.

Other additions to the budget include the establishment of a mobile crisis response team, a

social development redesign to address the needs of our youngest students with significant

emotional need, and, a summer Trauma Sensitive School Institute.

The proposal also calls for adding Cultural Broker positions at the secondary level. Cultural brokers, who help

with student supervision and are generally trusted in the school community, bring intelligence and

information that enable school personnel to defuse conflict before it begins or escalates into a crisis. We

have experienced success with the work of the existing cultural brokers and, therefore, find it beneficial to

provide additional staff at the middle and high school level.

Each of the middle schools currently have two assistant principals. In response to a need for additional

administrative support to address student behavior and management, we plan to add an assistant principal

at each of the three middle schools. This addition allows for each of the assistant principals to manage one

grade cohort in the school, and, for each of the principals to focus direct attention on instruction.

The budget also supports an investment into mentor training, embedded coaching, instructional coaching,

curriculum writing, as well as, training and professional development.

The budget is the result of collaboration and strategic development that heavily addresses and supports

struggling students and our vulnerable populations.

The budget development process was transparent and inclusive of all stakeholder groups. Budget item

proposals, accepted from school administrators, were discussed at collaborative budget meetings and

workshops. School staff and community members were invited to participate in the process which included

prioritizing a long list of programs and services and continuing proposals for consideration.

Each year, when developing the budget, we pay very close attention to the financial impact on Schenectady

taxpayers. Last year, the levy decreased by .25 percent. With this budget, and a decrease of 2.04 percent,

the levy is lowered even further. As New York State moves closer to funding high need districts in the way

which they are required to do, taxpayers will see incremental decreases in their school tax bills. We are,

again, pleased to see things moving in the right direction.

In closing, I am pleased to report, with this budget, the financial health of the school district remains in good

standing. Reserves are where they should be. Fiscal stress points no longer exist. While we are adding more

than $5 million in programs and services and addressing the opportunity gap without using any fund balance,

we are still returning more than $1 million back to our taxpayers.

Thank you to our assemblymen and senators who stood behind us and fought for us throughout the budget

season. We are also grateful to the business leaders, Chamber of Commerce and residents who continue to

advocate on behalf of our students.

We remain committed to ensuring that race, economics and disability are never predictors of student

achievement.

SCHENECTADY CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET SUMMARY 

GENERAL FUND  

The General Fund Budget is the operating budget for the school district and is subject to voter approval.  The annual vote occurs on the 3rd Tuesday of May.  A simple majority is required to approve the proposed budget unless the Board of Education has put forth a budget that is anticipated to exceed the maximum allowable tax levy.  In that instance, a supermajority vote of 60% would be required to pass the budget.  The maximum allowable tax levy is determined by an 8‐step calculation by each school district annually.   Highlighted Changes for 2017‐18  The 2017‐18 budget has a 2.0% decrease in the tax levy. The tax levy is the amount that is raised by property taxes.  The tax rate is calculated, based upon the taxable value of properties located in the City of Schenectady and a small section of the Town of Rotterdam, and the equalization rate which is established by of the New York State Office of Real Property Services.   

 

FOOD SERVICE FUND  

The Food Service Fund Budget is the operating budget for the school district’s breakfast, lunch and snack programs.  This budget is not required to be approved by the district voters unless the revenues generated by the program do not cover the expenses.  In that case, a subsidy is required from the General Fund with voter approval of a transfer to the Food Service Fund. The District has contracted with Whitsons to run the District’s Food Service program.  Since July 1, 2013 the District has participated in the Community Eligibility Program which allows the District to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students.  The reimbursement the District receives for students whose family income is below established levels provides sufficient revenue to cover the loss of revenue for students who previously paid full price for their meals.  The budget includes staffing expenses related to supervision of the students during breakfast and lunch, but not for the preparation of the food.  Highlighted Changes for 2017‐18   The Food Service Fund continues to maintain a strong fund balance and monies will be used to replace the equipment and improve the cafeterias for the schools. We are in the process of issuing a Request for Proposals for our Food Service Management Company, and could have a new provider in the 2017‐18 year.    

SPECIAL AID FUND  The Special Aid Fund is a separate account in which the District is required to maintain the accounting for all grants, the summer programs for students with disability and some other programs.  Each grant will have its own budget.  None of these budgets are subject to the approval of the district voters.  The District receives 80% state aid for summer tuition for students with disabilities in approved programs.  The remaining 20% is a transfer from the General Fund to the Special Aid account, and is included in the proposed General Fund budget.    Highlighted Changes for 2017‐18 As of the date this document was published, we had not received notice that the Perkins Grant would be renewed for another year.  The proposed budget includes funding to maintain the culinary program paraprofessional position that was funded through this grant.  While the 21st Century Grant was a 5 year grant, ending in 2016‐17; the District was awarded the grant again which will allow for funding of after‐school programs at designated schools for the next 5 years.

Instructional Expenditures for General Education are K-12 expenditures for classroom instruction (excluding Special Education) plus a proration of building level administrative and

instructional support expenditures. These expenditures include amounts for instruction of students with disabilities in a general-education setting. District expenditures, such as

transportation, debt service and district-wide administration are not included.

The pupil count for General Education is K-12 average daily membership plus K-12 pupils for whom the district pays tuition to another school district. This number represents all

pupils, including those classi ed as having disabilities and those not classi ed, excluding only students with disabilities placed out of district. Pupils resident in the district but

attending a charter school are included. For districts in which a county jail is located, this number includes incarcerated youth to whom the district must provide an education

program.

Instructional Expenditures for Special Education are K-12 expenditures for students with disabilities (including summer special education expenditures) plus a proration of building-

level administrative and instructional support expenditures. District expenditures, such as transportation, debt service and district-wide administration are not included.

The pupil count for Special Education is a count of K-12 students with disabilities for the school year plus students for whom the district receives tuition from another district plus

students for whom the district pays tuition to another district. Students attending the State schools at Rome and Batavia, private placements and out-of-state placements are included.

Instructional Expenditures Per Pupil is the simple arithmetic ratio of Instructional Expenditures to Pupils. The total cost of instruction for students with disabilities may include both

general- and special-education expenditures. Special-education services provided in the general-education classroom may bene t students not classi ed as having disabilities.
