44 Brick Schools do not have an Expenditure Problem we have Revenue Problem

45 Not an Expenditure Problem Taxpayers Guide to Education Spending 2017 Budgeted Costs Amount Per Pupil $14,152 (23/101) Classroom Instruction Per Pupil $9,017 (43/101) Support Services Per Pupil $2,316 (35/101) Administration Per Pupil (Brick is 3 rd from the bottom) Brick $1,133 (3/101) State Average K ,501 $15,575 $9,218 $2,538 $1,589 Operations & Maintenance Per Pupil (Brick is 5 th from the bottom) $1,160 (5/101) $1,846

46 Revenue Problem School Funding Reform Act (SFRA) (2008) establishes Adequacy budget for NJ Board s of Education: NJ DOE for Brick $14,292/pupil average= $128,215,942 Brick Actual $13,011/pupil average = $116,724,592 Under Adequacy $ 11,491,350

47 Revenue Problem SFRA (2008) establishes Local Fair Share for NJ Boards of Education: NJ DOE determination for Brick $129,909,386 NJ DOE Adequacy determination for Brick $128,215,942 Above indicates Brick can support 100% of its Adequacy budget through Local Fair Share. 2017/2018 General Fund Tax Levy $102,405,879 $25,810,063 below amount determined by formula to provide adequacy funding Proposed General Fund Tax Levy would reduce amount under Local Fair Share to deficit of $20,954,619. Because Levy Cap of 2% would not allow districts to increase to amount required SFRA formula (2008) provided Adjustment Aid to help Board s of Education phase in increase over 5 years. Phase out of Adjustment Aid never occurred as planned and Brick still receives $14,213,519 in Adjustment Aid

48 General Fund Tax Levy Tax Levy History Debt Service Tax Levy Total Tax Levy 2010/2011 $94,613,938 $2,957,672 $97,571,610 % Change in General Levy % Change in Debt Levy % Change in Total Levy If Increased by 2% Levy Loss Per Year 2011/2012 $95,145,685 $2,790,108 $97,935, % -5.67% 0.37% $96,506,216 $1,360, /2013 $95,145,685 $2,494,661 $97,640, % % -0.30% $98,436,341 $3,290, /2014 $96,046,715 $2,478,978 $98,525, % -0.63% 0.91% $100,405,067 $4,358, /2015 $97,622,590 $1,490,906 $99,113, % % 0.60% $102,413,169 $4,790, /2016 $97,622,590 $2,378,131 $100,000, % 59.51% 0.90% $104,461,432 $6,838, /2017 $101,139,586 $2,371,799 $103,511, % -0.27% 3.51% $106,550,661 $5,411, /2018 $102,405,879 $2,366,062 $104,771, % -0.24% 1.22% $108,681,674 $6,275, /2019 Proposed $107,261,323 $1,996,806 $109,258, % % 4.28% $110,855,308 $3,593,985 $35,919,818

49 CHANGES ARE NEEDED Focus efforts on changes needed in the State Funding Formula for Brick and other similar NJ Districts If Brick increased its Tax Levy by 2% for each year beginning with 2011, the District would be at $110,855,308 According to the Department of Education the current Adequacy determination for Brick says we should be at $128,215,942 With our current Adjustment Aid of $14,213,519 we still don t come close. We need $18,000,000 in Adjustment Aid per the Department of Education s own formula.

50 TO SUMMARIZE We have introduced a thorough and efficient Budget for the school year, however this budget does not include all enhancements needed to reach optimum upgrades needed in Curriculum & Instruction as well as Facilities.
