A necessary first step in the budget process each year is to project the student enrollment for the district as well as each school for the comingyear. The district's projections used for this budget were based on these projections and past history. These yearly projections have been generally on target and have contributed to sound judgments regarding staffing and other budget needs for each coming year.

Projected

NEWTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS PLANT OPERATION & MAINTENANCE NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT

SELECTED COST EXPLANATIONS 112 NON-CERTIFIED SALARIES: The proposed budget includes two additional custodians due to the addition at the High School. 410 BUILDING CONTRACTED SERVICES: Includes repair and maintenance contracts on building systems such as fire and burglar monitoring, elevators, emergency lighting and generators, intercom and telephones, HVAC systems. See detailed list on next page. 442 EQUIPMENT RENTAL: This expenditure is primarily for rental of storage containers and large equipment such as a forklift or boom. 613 PLANT SUPPLIES: The increase in custodial supplies includes addition cost to maintain and clean the new High School addition. 620 ENERGY: Includes the cost of natural gas, propane, heating oil and electricity for all our schools. It also includes gasoline and diesel fuel for maintenance vehicles, and power equipment. Although kilowatt usage in the buildings has declined due to active energy management and retrofit efficiencies wherever and whenever possible, consumption will increase at the High School due to the new addition. The “pass-thru” costs in Connecticut are really driving up the cost of our energy. Reliability Must Run (RMR), congestion, Locational Forward Reserve (LFR), UCAP, Competitive Transition Assessment (CTA), Public Benefits Charge, Federally mandated congestion charges (FMCC) and transmission adjustments account for a significant part of the total electricity costs. The board continues to participating in a load response program, which provides refunds to help offset the rising cost. Fuel oil is budgeted at $2.3002 per gallon. The large decrease is due to the High School using natural gas as well as oil for heat. There is a large increase for natural gas because the High School will be using both natural gas and oil for heat and the increased square footage of the addition.
