(8.5). Mahar School Board requests 9.9M
budget 622,582 increase over last year.
Greenfield Loss of money from students

HEADLINE Mohawk aims for below level services
Projected 8 increase in assessment 6 in
operating budget. Rep. Stephen Kulik - If you
dont provide enough funding to provide programs,
theyre going to look elsewhere, and the State
removes money from the district, and it makes
less likely youll ever be able to restore
programs.

Reality of Declining State Revenue FY02 - FY05

• 6000 teachers (-8) have been removed from
  instruction.
• 64 (242 of 375) of school districts have lost
  Ch. 70 aid since FY02.
• 40 (151 of 375) of school districts have Ch. 70
  aid that is 20 below FY02.
• 36 (133 of 375) of school districts have
  received foundation aid increases totaling 8
  over 3 years (averaging 2.34 / yr.).
• Inflation has eroded the effective buying power
  of remaining Ch. 70 (312 M).

Recommend Restore 50 of the 20 cut (Mohawk
499,633).
