PAGE A6, KEIZERTIMES, MAY 6, 2016 Budget increase on horizon for Salem-Keizer A 2016-17 budget of $673,421,688 for the Salem- Keizer School District was presented by Superintendent Christy Perry to the budget committee Tuesday, April 26. That is slightly more than the current budget of $665,720,876. Broken down by funds, it consists of: • General, $462,649,299. • Special revenue, $82,384,733. • Public Employees Retirement System, $46,172,870. • Internal service, $34,827,271. • General obligation debt service, $27,227,464. • Capital projects, $18,834,379. • Enterprise, $995,342. • Trust, $330,330. The general fund comes mostly from state funding. The rest comes from local revenues such as tax offsets, property taxes for school revenues but not including voter-approved general obligation bonds, common school funds, county school funds, and federal forest and state timber revenues. Special revenue funds are food services, asset replacement, fee-based programs, grants and the energy conservation funds. Internal service funds are charges to other district funds for the services they provide. Debt service funds are for general obligation bonds and PERS bonds. Capital project funds are for projects served by bond issues and for deferred maintenance and special capital projects. Enterprise funds are for charges for transportation, central stores, document copies and facilities. Trust funds are a scholarship fund and a memorial fund. The proposed budget, Perry said, refl ects the vision of the district, which she said is: “All students graduate and are prepared for a successful life.” She said the district, to achieve this, has the strategic plan of improving student achievement and “maintaining an effective organization to support student achievement.” Christy added that the school system is still working on the 2016-17 strategic plan. The current plan for improving student achievement is: • Providing coherent K-12 instructional framework, • Continuing systemic use of data on differentiated in- struction, planned interven- tions and supports for all stu- dents. • Continuing the K-12 lit- eracy model across all content areas. • Beginning implementa- tion of an elementary literacy adoption. • Continuing to imple- ment strategies for eliminat- ing achievement gaps • Creating a framework for a behavior support system for elementary schools. • Researching and de- veloping strategies for using technology to improve teach- obituaries ing and learning. The current plan for sup- porting student achievement is: • Continuing to improve evaluation processes. • Developing and imple- menting a professional devel- opment plan. • Enhancing strategies to recruit high-quality staff. • Developing a plan to im- prove retention rates of staff. • Developing plans for fa- cilities. The budget committee, which consists of all School Board members and seven members from the district at large, will meet again at 7 p.m. May 10 for a question- and-answer session. May 16, 17, 18 and 19 are set aside for 6 p.m. public hearings, although that period may be cut short if the committee acts early to approve a budget for submission to the board. The board will take public testimony and take fi nal action on the budget Tuesday, June 14. S-K kindergarten info meetings May 10 All Keizer elementary schools are hosting an infor- mational meeting about all- day kindergarten in May.
