21. LPSD Perspective Located on the Alaska Peninsula – LPSD operates 13 schools serving 14 communities LPSD covers 32,000 square miles Our communities are small and remote with school year access limited to air service at 13 locations Our community populations are declining as well as student enrollment

23. LPSD Student Achievement Benchmark (proficient or advanced) Student Comparison 2005200620072008200920102011 % Benchmark in Math 33%34.7%46.3%48.5%58.4%66.8%67.7% % Benchmark in Reading 55.1%60.9%67.8%66.1%67.3%75.5%71% % Benchmark in Writing 46.1%54.1%51.1%56.2%62.1%67.6%69.4% LPSD implemented a Standards Based System in the 2000-2001 school year. While the process has had its share of ups and downs, 10 years later there is no ignoring the results.

24. What are the factors creating our student success? Individual education plans as part of the standards based system Recruitment and retention of quality teachers – in 2010 LPSD implemented a longevity bonus for teachers Targeted professional development and research-based curriculum Early literacy programs distribute age appropriate books to children from birth – 3 years of age Literacy coaches providing classroom instructional support Certified tutors providing intensive individual instruction for students

25. Revenue Assumptions: – No Base Student Allocation Increase – Federal Impact Aid program – expected 8-10% reduction – Increase in Borough funding due to increase in property valuation – ISER increase from 1.941 to 1.994 – Hold Harmless – 5% reduction in student count from FY11 at final level of 25% – Reduction in Federal grant funds and grants ending – E-rate overall funding decreasing from 86% to 81% – PERS on-behalf increase from 8.76% to 13.84% – TRS on-behalf increase from 30.05% to 40.11%

29. Our shortfall is a result of: – Expected reduction in impact aid – No anticipated increase in BSA – Continued increase in utility and energy costs – Expected loss of FY12 one-time energy funding – Expiring federal grant dollars – Increase in general transportation and postal expenses for transporting staff and materials

30. Planned cost saving measures: Explore outsourcing food service Reduce principals: 5 FTE to 4 Reduce teachers: 5.26 FTE from 48 to 43.74 Reading Coaches: 1.5 FTE from 2.64 to.5 Eliminate district counselors: 2 FTE Reduce supplies & materials: $100,000 Reduce travel of district iterant staff Reduce professional development travel

31. Major Budget Impacts: Utility and energy costs are increasing at staggering rates despite efficiency measures; costs continue to increase inspite of reduced usage Electricity costs in FY12 have increased on average $0.10 per kilowatt hour over FY11 increasing electricity costs by $129,400 Fuel prices continue to rise and ranging from $2.99 to $8.00

33. LPSD Reality: LPSD has reduced administrative and maintenance positions over the last few years and worked to increase efficiencies in energy usage and travel. The fact remains that we cannot keep pace with the general inflationary costs any longer without cutting classroom staff and reducing educational programs resulting in fewer opportunities for our students.

34. LPSD strives to operate as effectively as possible and absorb budget reductions in non-instructional areas. However, with anticipated reductions necessary for FY13, the core of our instructional program will be impacted.

35. Thank you for this opportunity to share our budget information and our specific circumstances related to educating our students. Laura Hylton, Business Manager Lake and Peninsula School District lhylton@lpsd.comlhylton@lpsd.com 907 246-4280 x310

55. Successes are a result of innovative programs and schools of choice Innovative programs and schools of choice in Fairbanks: – Lathrop High Engineering Academy – Hutchison High Construction Academy – James T. Hutchison Career Technical High School (Partner w/UAF) – Barnette K-8 Magnet School – Chinook Montessori Charter School (K-8) – Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School (9-12) – Star of the North Secondary Charter School (7-12, Credit Recovery) – Watershed Charter School (K-8, Place Based) – Building Educational Success Together (BEST) Correspondence – Students Making a Right Turn (SMART) Program 55

56. But success requires support from many sources... 56 A Comment about TRS/PERS On-behalf payments and the unfunded liability

57. Our continued success will take both increased and sustained funding. Unfortunately, our 2012-13 Proposed Budget is based on what we know, which is flat funding. 57 We will continue to do the best we can to offer a comprehensive education experience to our students. But it will not be the same experience offered in 2011-12, and the same successes may not be realized. Why?...because like many, we are facing a substantial budget shortfall...

58. The looming shortfall... $180.9m 2011-12 Operating Fund Budget $192.4m 2012-13 “Maintenance Level of Services” Budget (+$11.5m) $180.1m 2012-13 Projected Revenue ($ 12.3m ) Projected Budget Shortfall Assuming: 1.Flat local funding... 2.No increase to BSA... 3.Loss of one-time state energy funding... 4.Flat federal funding... 5.Small enrollment increase... 6.Final adjustment to DCF... 58

59. What is a maintenance level budget? Absorbing the cost of 22 one-time funded “jobs bill” teachers... $ 2.0m + Adding over 23 Special Education specialists (School Psychs, OTs, PTs, Speech Pathologist, Teachers, and Aides to meet mandated level of services... $ 2.3m + Purchase social studies and career technical curriculum materials deferred from the current year... $ 1.4m + Increased subsidy to the Pupil Transportation Fund... $ 1.0m + Salary, wage, health, and other benefit cost increases for over 1,740 positions and a $105m dollar payroll... $ 4.0m + Inflationary pressures on energy and utilities, supplies, materials, maintenance, and other service contracts... $.8m + 2012-13 Maintenance Level Budget Increase... $ 11.5m + 59

60. Projected Revenue Local Funding$ 48,468,300 $ (29,200)$ 48,439,100 Federal Funding$ 13,985,250 $ (28,970) $ 13,956,280 State Funding$ 116,435,440 $ (566,800) $ 115,868,640 Use of Fund Balance$ 2,079,820 $ (229,820) $ 1,850,000 Funding Source11-12 Budget Change 12-13 Budget Changes in State Funding: Base Student Allocation (BSA) $ --0-- One-time Energy Funding $ (2,137,890) Enrollment, categorical sped, dcf $ 1,455,200 QSI and other State revenue $ 115,890 60 Total$ 180,968,810 $ (854,790) $ 180,114,020

61. 61 The looming shortfall... Reduced revenues $.8m + Cost increases $ 11.5m + The looming shortfall $ 12.3m + We do not expect the state or any one funding body to make the shortfall go away. There will be an adjustment to a more sustainable level of service. There will be cuts. They will impact all areas including the classroom. But a reasonable and permanent increase to state funding is justified and necessary to continue the successes gained over the past few years. Continued flat funding of the BSA, or one-time funding from the state, will likely increase class sizes, put programs in jeopardy, or only continue to defer problems until the next year, and do little to help address the $12.3m shortfall.

62. What will $12.3m in cuts to maintenance level services look like? Eliminate 29 district-wide positions including assistant superintendents, management, maintenance staff, support staff, teachers, and reading and math tutors. $ 3.5m + Eliminate 28 Elementary School positions, including a principal and 27 teaching positions. Increase kindergarten class sizes by +1, grades 1-3 by +1.5, and grades 4-6 by +2. $ 6.5m + Eliminate 21.8 Middle School and Jr./Sr. High School positions, including an assistant principal and 20.8 teaching positions. Eliminate Middle School team collaboration time and increase grade 7-8 class sizes by +1.5 and Jr./Sr. High by +2. $ 2.2m + 62

63. What does $12.3m in cuts to maintenance level services look like? Eliminate 16.2 Senior High School positions, including 3 Counselors, 3 Library Assistants, and 10.2 teaching positions. Increase grades 9-12 class sizes by +2. $ 1.4m + Make across the board non-personnel cuts in most programs and services, including legal & risk support, recruiting, travel, advertising, operation & maintenance supplies and services, library support, professional development, instructional technology, school activities and supplies, and lobbying services. $ 2.1m + 63

64. Thank you for this opportunity to present.. While we appreciate past efforts of the legislature, and recent increases in categorical sped funding and district cost differentials, continued flat funding of the BSA will impact classrooms, programs, and the educational experience we can provide and the results we strive to achieve. 64
