A look at the numbers

May 6, 2011
What has the school district done to save money?

It went to the four-day school week, closed Evergreen School, did not replace retiring personnel, eliminated and consolidated bus routes, reduced spending and sold property. All staff members' salaries were frozen in both 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, and they had a reduction in pay for 2010-2011.

How much less does the state fund our district?

2008-2009: $9,77,355 (actual).
2009-2010: $8,835,742 (actual).
2010-2011: $7,897,212 (estimated).
2011-2012: $6,789,895 (estimated).

Difference between 2008-2009 and 2011-2012: $2,387,460.
