Budget narrative – expectations re district UP would require complete budgetary and spending authority. Require that school need not work through local district for purchasing. UP would require that entitlement funds flow directly to school rather than through district. If this is not possible, UP would require that value of said entitlement funds, at proportional levels to entitlement funds award to UP Academy Boston & UP Academy Dorchester, be added to allocation to the school. BPS would continue to provide some services much in the way the district currently provides services to UP Academy Boston & UP Dorchester. UP would determine services it would purchase, potentially including: transportation, maintenance, administration of payroll & employee benefits, certain IT services, food services, certain enrollment services. Budget narrative – expectations re ESE ESE will intervene should services purchased from BPS not be provided at highest quality level. ESE must have the authority to make final determinations of per-pupil allocation based on actual students served (not projections of students). SY2014-15 budget detail $1,100 per pupil management fee: $440,000 (400 students) or $770,000 (700 students) [reference to potentially operating a portion of school in 14-15] Per pupil allocation from BPS comparable to any other similar school (size & demographics) in BPS. Entitlement as described above.
