Proposed Budget for 2010-2011

We are posting the proposed 2010-2011 needs-based budget on-line for the first time in an effort to inform citizens in the Green Mountain Union High School district in a timely manner. This budget was carefully crafted with the goals of ensuring that high quality instruction is available to all to students and keeping educational spending in check.
 
This budget represents taxpayer savings by combining the transportation and maintenance director positions, the reduction of three teachers from full to part time status and the elimination of one half time special education teaching position. In addition, there are no line item increases in this budget for teachers or administrator salaries and benefits. Please remember that this is the second consecutive year that we have reduced the number of full time teachers and non-instructional personnel. As always, we examine our special education programming for cost savings and maximize grant spending wherever and whenever possible.
 
This budget proposal does reflect an increase in some special education costs and to meet our need for investment in technology. SmartBoard technology, iPod touch devices, computers, netbooks, and laptops are electronic devices that connect us with all of the information available in the world today. We must stay current with our students’ learning styles to keep them competitive with students throughout the world.
 
The quality of  programs remains high at our school. A comparison with other high schools of our size in the state shows that our graduation rate is high and last year our NECAP mathematics score increase was second to none. I am especially proud of the fact that 85-90% of our students go on to post secondary education.  High levels of student achievement and graduating every student remain the focus of our school action plan.
 
In closing, thank you for reviewing the proposed budget. I believe it is a fair and balanced report of the funding needed that will enable us to maintain our high standards and continue to improve student learning and meet our fiduciary responsibility to the community.
