Superintendent: Expenses outpacing revenue streams
KEIZERTIMES SENIOR HOUSING GUIDE
By HERB SWETT
Of the Keizertimes
“Insuffi cient funding to
meet current service levels.”
That was how Christy Perry,
superintendent of Salem-Keiz-
er Public Schools, opened her
budget message for 2018-19
at the fi rst full meeting of the
budget committee Tuesday.
Saying the $691,458,464
budget proposal was based on
the revised 2017-19 biennnial
revenue assumption of $8.2
billion statewide for public
schools, Perry noted that the
increase in revenue from the
fi rst half of the biennium did
not match the growth in ex-
penses.
She added that with reduc-
tions in federal grants expected,
she told the committee that the
impact of the likely reductions
could mean a district loss of
$1.4 million.
The budget breaks down into
a general fund of $485,395,665
(70 percent), special revenue
funds of $88,373,959 (13 per-
cent), a debt service fund of
$46,601,589 (7 percent), capital
projects funds of $9,993,000 (1
percent), an enterprise fund of
$100,000, internal service funds
of $32,100,500 (5 percent), and
trust funds of $225,001.
As the district’s main oper-
ating budget, the general fund
pays for instruction of students
and general school operations.
Most of its revenue comes from
the state school fund and prop-
erty taxes.
Special revenue funds are
the fee-based programs fund,
for programs that are generally
self-supporting; the food ser-
vices fund; the asset replace-
ment fund, which receives
depreciation reimbursement
from the state; the energy ef-
fi ciency fund, which refl ects
the activities of a state energy
conservation program; and the
grants fund, the uses of which
are restricted by the sources of
the grants.
The debt service fund ap-
plies to the Public Employees

Retirement System and prin-
cipal and interest on bonds.
The enterprise fund tracks
services provided to consum-
ers outside the district.
Internal service funds track
services one district depart-
ment provides to other depart-
ments.
The small memorial trust
fund accounts for small me-
morial funds and scholarships
the district holds in trust for
purposes established by the
donors. The Loretta K. Isom
scholarship fund provides
scholarships for students en-
tering college business pro-
grams.
Perry said the school staff-
ers had prepared the budget to
achieve the district’s vision of
“All students graduate and are
prepared for a successful life.”
Guiding that vision, she said, is
the Equity Lens and Policy es-
tablished by the School Board.
Equity, she noted, is not to
be confused with equality, in
which all students would be
treated the same. Equity efforts
aim at increasing achievement
of all students, meaning certain
different treatments for under-
represented, underserved, and
marginalized populations.
She then went through
recent statistics in student
achievement and graduation
rates, pointing out that they

showed improvement in most
areas but saying they should
improve faster.

will be a meeting at 5:30 p.m.

ing public comment both
