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?<br /><br />Let's not wait for action, when the levy breaks!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1537830029917114826-1295755529815836004?l=disenfranchisedineducation.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>disenfranchised in educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18159801410787657708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537830029917114826.post-54423626250618693792007-06-20T16:00:00.000-07:002007-06-20T16:01:20.360-07:00In reference to 2008 preliminary budget reductions as presented on June 11th:<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />So where’s extra 679,639? This amount, minus the total savings of adm., leaves an excess of 47,073.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br />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.<br />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.<br /><br />I can not further calculate the discrepancies, for I have reached a total of excess exceeding 1,205,816.<br /><br /><br />Signed,<br />Disenfranchised in Education<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1537830029917114826-5442362625061869379?l=disenfranchisedineducation.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>disenfranchised in educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18159801410787657708noreply@blogger.com0
