O.K., now they need a loan? It's unfortunate that no one from the public tax paying base has added up the figures from the budget. Are we waiting for a situation like Christina endured?
Let's not wait for action, when the levy breaks!

Red Clay's #'s Don't add Up Right!
In reference to 2008 preliminary budget reductions as presented on June 11th:
Red clay itemized the reduction of 25 teacher units will save 322,025. That would only be if each unit cost 12,881. I calculated 25 teacher, at an average rate of pay of 40K to be @ 1 million dollars. 1 million dollars of the 1128 units at the same average pay equals 2.22% of the area costs. The total expenditures for teachers are 45,120,000. This leaves and excess of 677,975.
Also, the total savings for administrative positions equals that of @ 6 positions. If those 6 positions are 1/3 of the total, that would me that there were @ 18 administrators district-wide. The total expenditure for adm. Positions would be 1, 897,698. That relates the average adm. Payrate of 105,427.67.
So where’s extra 679,639? This amount, minus the total savings of adm., leaves an excess of 47,073.
Comparable, our secretary’s received an average of 36,203.00, if you calculate the clerical/secretarial units reduced (18) divided by the total savings of 651,653. If you calculate a more “believable” rate of pay, 30K, the total is 540,000. Subtract this from the reported total savings of 651,653 leaves a total excess of 111,653.
Para’s rate of pay, according to the budget listed, is @ 9k. If calculated at 15,000 – less than $8/hour, it calculates at being a total savings of 640,000. The lised total saving is 376,312. Another excess of 263,688.
If, 333,355 is 7.83 reduction of central office budget, that allocates the central office at having a 4,257,407.40 budget expense. This expense excludes adm. Salaries.
School budget have been reduced 440,998, 16.92 percent of area costs. The total expenditure for all of Red Clay’s school budgets is planned at 2,606,371.20, a small portion of the expense for 1 central office.
I can not further calculate the discrepancies, for I have reached a total of excess exceeding 1,205,816.
