Facilities Maintenance• With brief expenditures are Southside High School in 2009, no major facilities projects have been undertaken in a decade• One of the keys of the Strategic Planning Process was to develop a long term facilities plan for the corporation and a preventative maintenance program• MCS has identified more than $50 million in work that needs to be completed in order to bring buildings up to appropriate standards• Two buildings had to be temporarily closed this year due to HVAC issues

Impact of Special Education on Student Teacher RatioMCS serves as the administrator for the Blackford-Delaware County Special Education Cooperative
MCS serves 1434 students with a primary disability and 243 with a secondary speech need plus 31 county students
More than 25% of our students have been identified with special needs. Yorktown for instance has 10% (TSP 2015) and statewide average is 14.9%
308 of those (K-12) students are in 29 separate classes. That ratio of 10.6 drives the rest of our ratio down. In considering student/teacher ratio, special education has a huge impact

Grants & Partnerships• Last year staff brought in more than $1.1 million in grant funding for MCS 87 Faculty & Staff received 123 individual grants
• An Example: Partnership with Meridian Health Services have brought additional nine social services support personnel into schools
Additional Considerations• Consideration to exempt MCS from SB 309, if it passes. That will cost MCS nearly $27 million if it passes• Consider some relief for MCS in regard to the tax cap• Exempt schools like MCS in significant fiscal condition from selling property to a charter school at anything below market price
