Article III
• To see if the District will vote to raise and appropriate up to the sum of $200,000, such sum representing the interest earnings on the investment of the portion of the $67,242,614 in bonds authorized at the District’s 2009 annual meeting that have not already been issued (the “Bonds”), such investment earnings to be used for the school projects at the Kingswood Complex (collectively the “Project”) to be financed with the Bonds. As the appropriation of these interest earnings for the Project is only necessary if the Bonds are to be issued as “Build America Bonds” (as described in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), this Article shall be of force and effect only to the extent that the Project is financed with Build America Bonds. The School Board recommends this Article. (Majority vote required)

This represents the spirit in which the budget was developed by the administration and the committee!
Goal

Budget Challenges

• Mandated increased local participation in the New Hampshire State Retirement System.

• Three collective bargaining agreements calling for wage increases of 5%, 5%, and 3.75% respectively.
• Increased costs of health and dental benefits.
• Added expense for temporary field space during the addition/renovation project.

Controlling Budget Growth
• No new positions were approved.• The overall workforce will be reduced by about
2.1%:• Class sizes to be maintained at or below state
averages.• All IEP requirements will be met.• Under-subscribed classes consolidated into fewer
sections at all grade levels and in all schools.• Most of the reduction will occur through the
elimination of part-time positions and natural attrition. 47
Controlling Budget Growth (continued)
• Reduce non-employee expenses at or below 2009 levels of spending.
• Special Education budget provides no buffer for any new students requiring out-of-district placement or contracted services.
• Use any and all interest earned on the Phase I bond money as a credit to taxes rather than on the project itself.
