SKSB sets budget priorities By HERB SWETT For the Keizertimes A 2015-16 budget proposal for $665,720,876 was recommended by the budget committee of the Salem-Keizer School District earlier this month. The total budget fi gure exceeds by more than $11.5 million the total amount district staff proposed before the committee fi rst met. The change results from additional state funds that became available after Superintendent Christy Perry announced the fi gures originally proposed. “Since I delivered my proposed bud- get,” Perry told the committee May 18, “the revenue forecast for the state of Oregon indicates an additional $105 million for the state school fund. In ad- dition, the redirection of the corporate kicker is expected to yield another $60 million (projected).” May 18 and 19 were the two days of public hearings by the committee. No one spoke from the sparse audience May 18, but two people in the audi- ence praised the committee May 19 for budgeting full-day kindergarten. Nancy MacMorris-Adix, a School Board mem- ber and ex offi cio committee member, then read a letter from Lisa Harnish, ex- ecutive director of Early Learning Hub, expressing her support of the change. The budget is scheduled to become offi cial June 9, the day of the board’s next regular meeting. The committee also recommended, for June 9 board approval, a general fund levy of $72,118,902 and a gen- eral obligation bond debt service fund of $33,990,211, for a total property tax levy of $106,109,113, or $902 for a $200,000 home. For the Salem-Keizer district, the May adjustment totals $11,485,474. The district staff expects that fi gure to be al- located in the second year of the bienni- um (2016-17). However, Perry proposed lowering the 2015-16 contingency fund to about 3 percent from the current 4 percent to add: • $1,000,000 to address the replace- ment cycle for 15,000 computers. • $943,786 to add up to a full-time equivalent of 12 teachers to ease high school class sizes. • $865,138 to address middle school class sizes. • $393,245 to reduce class sizes in self-contained special education class- rooms. • $188,067 for after-school sports in the middle schools. • $231,922 for an FTE of two ad- ditional assistant principals for four el- ementary schools. • $453,105 for additional custodians. • $159,953 for a fi eld coordinator and a mechanic for transportation. • $266,468 for an FTE of two more assistant principals for West Salem and Sprague high schools. The total for the above is $4,501,664. The proposed breakdown of the rough- ly $11.5 million is: • $4 million for technology infrastruc- ture needs such as telephones, switched networks, servers and network access for all portable classrooms. • $3.225 million to address renovation issues for programs and support facilities. • $3 million in transfer funds to the debt service fund for Public Employees Retirement System increases. • $1 million to upgrade mathematics materials for grades K through 12. • $130,237 for musical instruments and materials. • $130,237 for high school sports equipment. ua & Chloe Carr, $187,000 • 5865 Benevan Ct NE, Mar- cell S.
