LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICTFY ’06 BUDGET
Presentation for the LS WebsiteJanuary 26, 2005
The Following Presentation
What follows is an updated version of the presentation of the Lincoln-Sudbury Budget that was made to the Finance Committees in both towns. It is primarily a visual presentation, rather than a narrative one, and is essentially divided into three parts.
Part 1
The current state of the school and its financial status, along with the recent historical trends that have resulted in our current situation.
Part 2The impact that the downward trend
has had from a student’s perspective. You should be able to see clearly the students in 2001-02 attended a very different school, with much more favorable class sizes, fewer fees, and many more opportunities for close relationships with teachers, counselors and advisers.
Part 3The 2006 budget request represents an
attempt to return to the level of service provided in 2004. The last year in which class sizes were at an appropriate level was actually 2002, but the School Committee feels that, just as the losses to the system have occurred over a number of years, efforts at any kind of restoration need to be reasonable.
