I would like to know the amount the district spends on utilities. If one were to assume the district spends $800k per month on utilities x 10 months would indicate the district spends $8m per year on utilities. To the best of my knowledge, the state has not changed their funding formula to reflect increasing costs of utilities.<br /><br />In my mind, it would be best to focus on funding formulas which reflects the needs of students (ELL) etc. , teacher compensation, construction costs and increasing utility costs.<br /><br />Nyland will be joining with 35 other superintendents around the state. We should be hearing more from this delegation .Revisionist Historynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-67832755321923453212016-12-29T18:01:41.730-08:002016-12-29T18:01:41.730-08:00Clearly, WS dad has not been attending the budget ...Clearly, WS dad has not been attending the budget meetings.<br /><br />We're COLA increases part of the strike/settlement agreement? <br /><br />The problem is a lot bigger than Nyland! The district spends $21m on ELL services and the state provides $6M for these services. The state only pays 75 percent of teacher salaries. Nyland was correct to point out unfunded state mandates.Revisionist Historynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-4999864842912717982016-12-29T11:05:25.016-08:002016-12-29T11:05:25.016-08:00To be fair, I recall another sad letter from Dr. N...To be fair, I recall another sad letter from Dr. Nyland basically saying the same a month or two ago. Agree, this sounds like and EOY checklist letter, or perhaps a shot at the Legislature before they gather. But he continues to lay it in the laps of others, rather than proposing how the District can manage themselves.<br /><br />WS Dad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
