Editor's Notes
- Welcome… Informational meeting only…At the end of the presentation, we will give you ways to review the material again and even make comments that will go directly to the board and administrators. We want to hear your thoughts after having time to process the proposal.
- The solution presented this evening has been a product of a collaborative effort by all administrative staff. They have been working diligently on this for quite some time, gathering and analyzing data from every possible source. Goal 1 – student population has been the driving factor for our necessary action.Goal 2 – General fund but the others are effected as wellGoal 3 – stress long-term
- In order to understand our situation better, we have to look at the demographic picture of our district. Student enrollment plays a significant part in our future funding.
- State data tells us that Madison is in a similar situation as every other district out there.
- Link to the .pdf of the excel document with the breakdown of student enrollment since 2005. Note grade levels (elementary decline). These are reported numbers to the DOE, where Kindergarten students count as 0.5 and certain special-ed students are not included because they are reported by their home district and we do not receive their funding.Will annotate slides as we talk…
- Stress the elementary decline. Once the 5th grade class moves up, the numbers go down dramatically. Our KG enrollment isn’t going to be near the 275 but more like 220.
- Explain this is the fund where salaries are paid. We cannot move dollars from transportation or CP – it is against the law.
- No raises in salaries, fuel, or utilities. No new business and no business closings.
- Hyperlinks to exhibit data from Department of Education finance office. Most current 2012 data available.
- Federal Jobs Stimulus Funds .pdf link to MCS breakdown. More information about stimulus funds can be found at http://www.doe.in.gov/idoe/finance/stimulus
- DPI-54 tied to enrollment mainly. Stimulus is soft money that is going away.
- Shows two options – 30 students and 40 students. The next few slides all illustrate a best case/worst case scenario. Dollars come in separate so they aren’t overlapped during presentation.

- We hope this isn’t the case but need to be prepared for the potential loss. School vouchers may be utilized more.

- This is most likely the best it will be – and what we are hoping for. The $1.15 million is a rollover from the DPI and Stimulus loss.
- The worst scenario which we feel is too gloomy but it is a possibility which we had to consider.
- We do have some good news and are hopeful for the future continuation of this funding. Based on projected enrollment of 220 in KG, the top number is grant dollars for full day Kindergarten. The cash balance needs to be left alone. If we had a “worst case” scenario situation, we would even have enough to cover the funding deficit.
- We are banking on the best case scenario. This will require our communities continued support and commitment. With the changes that we will recommend tonight, we feel like MCS will be a better school system in its entirety and children in all schools will get a much better education.
- As we press forward, we have to consider all students in all schools. None of these recommendations were made lightly or without much thought. We didn’t choose the easiest path but what we feel is the best path for all involved.
- Link to pie chart of population breakdown.
- It will have to be a combination of retirements and rifs. The salary reductions will happen when a person retires at the top of the pay scale but the new hire is at a lower salary.
- Link to the bar graph of ration comparisons. The 24:1 is still a good ratio and lower than the state average. The secondary level is much higher than 24:1 as they took a big hit in past years.
- The 17 is a round number based on the $72,000 average for certified positions. If we have high salary retirements and low salary replacements, the number could go down (or vice versa). We have to cut where the declining enrollment is – at the elementary level. The non-certified positions could be classroom aides, custodial, and clerical.
- The administration tried to close three schools but couldn’t maintain a 24:1 ratio. Hyperlink to map which shows the breakdown of the dividing line for redistricting.
- Hyperlink to map which shows the breakdown of the dividing line for redistricting.
- Connectivity in town is much cheaper than in rural areas.
- Hyperlink to information on TITLE I. Internet connectivity in town is much cheaper than in rural areas and travel costs can be significant. Our current eRate project is tied to three buildings: Rykers, EOM, and Lydia. If we close one of those buildings, we risk loosing the funding for all three ($250,000).
- If numbers decline more than expected, we would recommend closing Deputy as well.
