Budget Update February 9, 2010

(Estimated Savings - $100,000)  Total Ridership – 187 Students  Paid: 95 Students  Free: 72 Students  Reduced: 20 Students  Students outside 1 mile radius of home school: 57  Students outside 1.5 mile radius of home school: 16  Students currently riding included in IEP: 9

Considerations for Implementation  Communication Plan  Assist with Car Pooling  Walking School Bus  Student Valets  Re-visit Pick-up/Drop-off Procedures

Total Savings $40,000  Could not find any data indicating increased student performance due to Summer School  These are difficult data to collect  For strong results, Summer School needs to be very targeted to each individual student’s needs  Changes would need to be made to our program which would incur additional costs, not decrease costs

Considerations for Implementation  Saturday School – Middle School  After School Intervention  Summer Reading programs  Explore software or take-home summer programs  Expand use of Targeted Intervention Software
