Maine School Administrative District 6PROPOSED
BUDGET 2007-2008

Needs-Based Budget

• The MSAD 6 Budget Committee and Administration
  used a needs-based approach to the budget
  development process.
• Each school and department scrutinized all
  individual line items to ensure that the budget
  was developed following the needs-based approach.
  
• When using a needs-based budget approach, the
  budget reflects actual needs versus an increased
  percentage over the previous year.
• Since numbers represent actual planned
  expenditures, a reasonable contingency is needed
  to meet unexpected needs.

State Funding
The state has released preliminary estimates of
funding for the 2007-2008 school year. They
released two distinct scenarios Scenario A.
This is the Governors revised budget with EPS
phase-in requirements included MSAD 6 can expect
19,939,730 in state aid but must raise
15,376,392 in matching funds Scenario B. This
would result if the legislature revises the EPS
state and local shares in response to the state
budget picture MSAD 6 can expect 19,687,658 in
state aid but must raise 15,628,464.

Essential Programs Services Funding

• Under the Essential Programs and Services model,
  the state is expected to provide 55 of selected
  education costs statewide by 2008. The funds
  will be distributed across the state for an
  aggregate total of 55 statewide with variances
  from district to district.
• EPS state funding is affected by two variables,
  student enrollment and state valuations of each
  community.
• For 2007-2008 our enrollment is expected to hold
  steady or slightly increase. Statewide there is
  an expected average decrease of 2.
• For 2007-2008 our state valuations across the
  district will increase by 17.32, somewhat above
  the state average of 13.4 This
  will negatively affect state aid.

11
Essential Programs Services Funding

• Not all line items are categorized as EPS costs.
  For example, little of the cost for
  extra-curricular programs is covered.
• This year the state has reduced what is covered
  under EPS. For example, funds for student
  assessment have dropped from 79 per pupil to
  40.
• The state does not fund Special Education at 100
  of the costs. It is funded by a formula.
• For the coming year, the MSAD 6 must provide a
  local share of approximately 15,628,464 in
  order to receive our Districts share of state
  funding which preliminary numbers indicate will
  be slightly above 19,000,000.
• With the preliminary numbers released by the
  state, the local share will be close to 44 of
  the EPS COSTS and the state share at about 56 of
  that part of the budget.
• Additional local dollars will be needed for costs
  outside of EPS and for local debt service.

Revenue Summary
14
EPS Constraints

• The School District must raise a certain amount
  locally in order to get its full share of state
  aid. This year the required EPS local
  contribution is expected to be 15,628,464 in
  order to receive the anticipated state
  contribution of 19,687,658.
• Because EPS is not yet fully implemented local
  communities are required to raise the additional
  5 towards EPS costs not yet covered by state
  funding.

15
Realistic Carry-Forward

• 1,100,000 is recommended as carry-forward which
  will be used to offset local tax contributions.
• Additionally, 300,000 in miscellaneous revenues
  is anticipated.
• As a comparison, in 2006-2007 the carry-forward
  was also 1,000,000. And the miscellaneous
  revenue was 150,000.

16
Budget Equation with Anticipated Funding

• State funding is expected to be 19,687,658 for
  2007-2008.
• The local share of EPS funding of 15,628,464 is
  required to receive the allocated state funds.
• The local share of 2,182,899 includes the
  portion of EPS not yet funded by the state and
  local debt service.
• Carry-forward is 1,100,000.
• Anticipated miscellaneous revenues should total
  300,000.
