If we use an average section of 18/section for K-2, we should have 12 at Page.  I know that some are paid from revolving funds, but what will be the full number of sections for all 3 grades?

If some classes are conducive to blending there would be 9 or 10

sections in K-2. If no classes are blended the total will be 11.

2 K teachers coming from revolving fund for full day K?

Yes.

Could we get greater detail on why Page facility expenses are increasing by $129,400 (178%).  I assume that it is related to not having these covered by a revolving fund?  How can the live with such a reduction in building supplies?

Many of Page’s Category 3 expenses were funded by the Page rental account.  We now need to fund these expenditures via the general fund.

The custodial supply budget should be kept at $15,000.  The use of the Rental Fund distorted some of the historical data that was used.

4.

Teacher line item again shows a decrease with no fte decrease.  Is this possible with the CBA increases?

Yes, it is possible with more senior teachers retiring and being replaced

with less costly replacements.

5.

Like some of the other school there are significant increases and decreases in support teacher line items, why?  All related to CBA changes?

The apparent increases/decreases are due to a number of adjustments in how these salaries will be charged to Choice in FY ’06.  A greater portion of the Music instructor’s salary will be paid from the general fund vs. the revolving funds that formerly supported this position.  The increase in the psychologist’s position is due to increases in salary and the hiring of a higher salaried individual.
