From 1986-2009• # of Students up by 24%• # of Teachers up by 43%• # of Instructional Support Staff up by
150%!
How Americans Would Slim Down Public
Education
Smart School BudgetingResources
Public Sentiment• Reducing Teacher Pay by 5% rather than laying off 5%
of staff• 76% believe too many SPED students mislabeled• Closing or merging small schools• 66% OPPOSE shortening the school year• 70% want to disapprove of reducing non-teaching staff

Two Ways to Achieve Effective Resource Use in Education• Identify Resource Configurations to Help Raise Student
Achievement• Eliminate Inefficiencies, mainly Non-Instruction Spending
Toward Effective Resource Use: Assessing How
Education Dollars are Spent

• Public Pension Guarantees, i.e. Providence Public Schools unfunded liability problem
• Health Insurance Costs, ASBO survey said 58% was a big concern
• Fuel and Energy, 17% of transportation costs is fuel• Fuel and Energy, 25% of O and M budget is energy

What is Heating Degree Days?Each Day’s Average Temperature’s Difference from the Base Temperature for Heating, usually
65 degrees.Example: If the Base is 65 degrees & today’s temperature was 45 degrees, today added 20
HDDs to the Heating Season Total.
