There are still many questions about both the basic subsidy and special education. Districts of all spectrums of wealth have contacted us about these numbers and how they compare to the inflation rate and increases in the past. By looking strictly at the increases in the subsidy, this proposal is the least amount of increase, by percent, and excluding 2 years when there was no increase, in many years. The reduction in contribution rate for the retirement fund has been described as an increase in subsidy. It also means that the state obligation is lessened in that budget category.
Special education has no formula as yet.
So there is no distribution table. If you have any questions, please give us a call. Dr. Jane Karper, superintendent, Gary Merrick, math teacher, Glen Butters, computer specialist, and students discussed the three strands of the program. In a future program, the Otto-Eldred School Districtwill discuss its Peer Helper and Peer Mediation program. However, the reality of charter schools is financial devastation to a poor and rural district.
