GBSD District Budget Message 2009-2010

Budget Message 2009-2010Conclusion

The 2009-2010 proposed budget reflects the funding level based on the most recent information. We will continue to live with ambiguity in the coming weeks and months.

Building a budget at the proposed estimates level of reductions means there are no good choices. It translates to fewer services to students and this community. One cannot examine the list of reductions and not conclude the valuable opportunity for students are not going to be available next year. This has been a very difficult budget year. Should the legislature choose to fund schools about the $5.9 billion estimate, the administration will be prepared to discuss restorations with the school board. If schools are funded below the estimate, further reductions will be required.

We thank the community, patrons and staff for their participation and important input in the creation of this budget. We also acknowledge that administration for the challenging and difficult task of preparing this budget as well.

Many thanks in advance to the budget committee member for their service to the students, staff and patrons of the District. We look forward to working with you to provide a world-class education for all students.

The Gresham-Barlow School District is fortunate to have such a supportive community.

The District staff and resources are available to the budget committee.

The school board has a wide variety of additional responsibilities, such as adopting a balanced annual budget and issuing interim financial reports, adopting the school calendar, negotiating contracts with employee unions, approving curriculum materials and closing or constructing schools.

sThe nutrition services operation in the Gresham-Barlow School District is ta participant in the United States Department of Agriculture’s School nutrition Program. Breakfast and Lunch are served at all schools daily and nutritional snacks provide for day care centers and after school programs. There will be approximately 8,655 meals served daily as breakfast, lunch, snacks, a-la-carte and special function meals. The program was funded last year by the sale of meals (33.13%) and the subsidy of monies by the state and federal governments (55.25%) with remaining (9.62%) from available cash. The School Board determined that the Nutrition Services Department is to be self-sufficient and not further subsidized by the General Fund. School year 2008-2009 is the twenty-seventh self-sufficient year for the Nutrition Service Program.

logy Types of Computers Systems in District

Elementary Schools - MacMiddle Schools – MacHigh Schools – Mac & PCDistrict Office – MacMost Students - PC

Computer Supply:There are mixed feelings on the appropriate quantity of computers needed within the district. Lab space is always lacking in the middle and high schools. In this day-and-age, additional computers can always be used in the classroom.

Age of Computers: Elementary schools still use machines that are as much as 10 years old. Typically machines are used until they quit. The newest labs in the district were implemented 2 years ago at Gresham H.S.

Maintenance: The district maintains the computers through a district technology staff. The major servers are hosted off site of most of the buildings on campus. Each middle school and high school building employs a computer network tech to keep the day to day operations running.
