School Versus Total Expenditures

General Fund Expenditures as a Percent of the
Total
General Fund Expenditure data are gathered and
obtained through the Schedule A that is submitted
to the Division of Local Services by Local
Government Officials. Expenditures are from the
general fund and do not reflect spending from
special revenue, enterprise, capital projects or
trust funds. This may result in wide variations
among communities in the "Public Works" category,
because many communities account for spending on
sewer, water, utilities and other public works
functions in enterprise or special revenue funds.
Capital outlay and construction expenditures are
also excluded in order to encourage fair
comparisons. Intergovernmental transfers within
departmental budgets, such as regional school
assessments, are reported within their respective
functions (i.e. education) and not in the
"intergovernmental" column.

Definition

• A Level Service Budget Forecast is the estimated
  cost required to deliver the same level of
  services for the next fiscal year (FY10) as we
  had in the current (FY09) fiscal year, including
  all contractual increases economic factors that
  affect the cost of these level services.
• It is a useful tool for understanding the
  starting line for FY10 budget development and how
  economics affect the planning process even before
  changes to services are considered.

• Concerns of Building Principals and Headmaster
• Memorial Early Childhood Center
• Mary K. Goode School
• Henry B. Burkland School

• John T. Nichols, Jr. Middle School
• Middleborough High School

Conclusion

• Town cuts need to be fair and equitable for all
  Town Departments. Based on a recent FY10 Budget
  presentation by the Town Manager to the Board of
  Selectmen, it was suggested, in regards to staff
  cuts, that its more likely to see a reduction
  in hours as opposed to whole people. At a
  minimum the School Department is facing 19 staff
  cuts a number that could potentially exceed 27.
