259 MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1986 - The presentation this year will be limited to and address only the spe- cifics of the budget proposal. Various attachments will be appended to this document to illustrate these specifics as follows: ATTACHMENT A: Changes are listed in the non-personnel line items of the proposed school budget for 1986-87 compared to the 1985-86 school budget. - Line items not listed remain unchanged. - There is a decrease in the cost of non-personnel line items for 1986-87 in the amount of $15,094. - The increase for vehicular and liability insurance totals $54,304. - If the latter increases were not so exorbitant, there would have been an even more significant decrease in non-personnel costs for 1986-87. - The non-personnel costs in the 1986-87 budget represent only 11.4% ($1,194,454.00) of the total budget. ATTACHMENT B: The numbers of personnel employed in the Martinsville City Schools are summarized annually for the years 1977-87. - For 1986-87 there is a net increase of two teachers for the learning disabled as required by law. (Refer to Supplementary Attachment #7) - For 1986-87 there were three positions eliminated which were offset by a mandated Vocational Placement position, a vocal music teacher to meet increased enrollment in that subject, and a TEAM (Teen Edu- cational Adjustment in Martinsville) position at Martinsville High Schoo 1 . - For the years listed there has been a steady increase of personnel in special education which has offset a decrease in the number of regular classroom teachers. - Both the number of aides and the number of teachers assigned to grades K-6 reflect a commitment to the system of parallel scheduling designed to provide more time for instruction in the basics. ATTACHMENT C: Changes are listed in the personnel sections of the pro- posed budget for 1986-87 compared to the 1985-86 budget. - Proposed salary increases are not all made on the basis of across- the-board adjustments. Teachers salaries were figured on a percent of the BA scale. The others represent averaged percentage increases. Salaries for individual employees, including teachers and adminis- trators, have not been finally determined. - The salaries for all employees except teachers will be differentiated. - The total increase for these personnel line items is $751,178. - The personnel costs in the 1986-87 budget represent 88.6% ($9,250,704.00) of the total budget. - The costs of 1% increases in salary for groups of employees are noted in Supplementary Attachment #1. ATTACHMENT D: Guidelines for receipt of 1987-88 transitional personnel payments by local school divisions are outlined in State Supt. Memo. No.7 of March 12, 1986. These guidelines were received subsequent to the sub- mission of the school division's budget to the City Manager for 1986-87. - It is possible for our school division to maneuver around the legis- lative mandate of a ten percent increase in salary for teachers by employing one of three alternatives noted in this attachment. --'~-'~.,-"....._..__.-~._-,--"-----,."-~-~..._..._,.-.---..-------.............-...
