Reasons for Budgetary Increases

• 1.  The promised increase in state aid (960,329
  in foundation aid alone) to school districts for
  programs and staffing was not provided by Albany.
  As a result, Franklinville had to make
  adjustments in programs and staffing.
• 2.  Our contractual (salaries) and operating
  costs (energy, services) continue to increase and
  these obligations must be met.
• 3.  Rates that the District pays towards the
  teachers and employees retirement systems are
  expected to incur significant increases next
  year, and health care costs have increased at
  seven times the rate of inflation.
• 4.  To meet the needs of all students, our costs
  in special programs continue to increase.
• 5. Our health care and salaries costs alone
  increased over 650,000.

19
Budgetary Adjustments

• Several teaching positions were eliminated, and
  we filled positions vacated through retirements
  by transferring employees currently on staff.
• The district-operated summer school program was
  eliminated.
• We will purchase additional services (programs
  and personnel) through BOCES to leverage our aid
  in this area. By purchasing these BOCES services,
  the District receives approximately 70 of their
  costs back in the following year, thereby making
  these purchases very cost effective.
• We reduced expenditures in supplies and equipment
  throughout the district.
• The District will be purchasing one new bus
  instead of two, which will allow us to
  temporarily maintain our planned fleet
  replacement. We currently use buses for
  approximately 10 years, and this bus rotation
  schedule is very cost effective and maximizes our
  transportation aid. We will be able to do this
  for several years, but eventually when our aid
  increases we will need to purchase additional
  buses to maintain our fleet replacement schedule.
• Extra-curricular programs and athletics were
  slightly reduced to reflect the reduced athletic
  schedules adopted by the states sport advisory
  association.
• Taking all of these decisions into consideration,
  the budget has increased from 16,145,972 to
  16,410,000, which reflects an budget increase of
  1.63, which is below our 5-year average!
