the next six years 175 or

more will be gone!

GOOD NEWS!

FDK funding increases for

2012-2013 (projected 220 enrollment)

MCS has a reasonable

cash balance as of 1/1/12

that needs to be maintained

How do we

become a

sound

corporation for

the future?

We have to look at the economy of scale…

3 buildings house 70% of the student population

Projected elementarystudent/teacher ratio withoutchanges is less than 20:1

Average teacher cost is $72,000 (includes

salary, benefits, FICA, retirement, etc.)

In order to save $1.5

million, positions must be

reduced via

retirements, RIFs, and salary

reductions.

We must look at a

long-term solution!

24:1 Elementary

Student/Teacher Ratio

More balanced class

numbers

Previous reductions

already taken at secondary

level

ALL students need to benefit

Administration recommends a reduction of $1.5 million in general fund expenditures

15-20 Certified Positions

$100,000-$200,000 in non-certified position cuts

Administration recommends

closing two schools…

Dupont Elementary

• Redistrict Dupont students

• Students will attend EOM &

Deputy

• Maintain 24:1 average ratio

Administration recommends

closing two schools…

Anderson Elementary

• Redistrict Anderson students

• Students will attend

EOM, Lydia & Rykers

• Maintain 24:1 average ratio

Restore/Enhance Programs

Art, Music, PE• Restore to year-round in elementary

30 minute increase in elementary instructional day

• Administration recommendation

• More time on task for instruction

• Enrichment/remediation opportunities

• No monetary effect on transportation fund

Restore/Enhance Programs

Increased Collaboration & Interventions

• Equitable use of TITLE I funds

• More program options

Technology Support• Consolidated operational costs

• eRate Priority 2 Federal grant dollars

Rykers, Lydia, and Muncie

ALL buildings would then… Have more balanced ratios

Qualify for TITLE funds & support

Allow for more tech funding & support

Hit our target savings of $1.5 million

Be a long-term solution provided enrollment decline doesn’t escalate• In a worst case scenario, the administration recommends Deputy to close as well
