Increase in foundation between $83 and $111 per student using 2X formula. RCS would see a $95 per student increase. $44 per student for RCS in 2013/2014. Continuation of $5 per student hold harmless funding. Provided in 2013/2014 due to drop in MPSERS funding from 2012/2013. Continuation of Performance Grant Funds of up to $100 per student. RCS would see $70 per student in 2014/2015. $70 per student for RCS in 2013/2014.

Continuation of $52 per student Best Practice Funds. Must meet 7 of 8 best practices No change in best practice criteria from 2013/2014. $52 per student for RCS in 2012/2013. Repurpose 147a MPSERS funds to offset MPSERS rate by 1.20 percentage points. Rate is expected to increase by 0.99 percentage points in 2014/2015. Net decrease in rate of 0.21 percentage points. Estimated blended MPSERS rate of 23.90% for RCS.

Additional $379 million allocated to fund MPSERS unfunded liability. These are pass-through funds for RCS. Increases estimated per student allocation from $281 to $450 per student. Section 31A allocation remains unchanged at $309 million but repurposes funds to expand uses Specific focus on 3 rd Grade reading proficiency and career/college readiness for high school graduates. Deletes some uses and allows a district to use funds for schoolwide school improvement activities for schools with 40% or more at-risk students. Additional $65 million funding statewide for Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP). Increased per student funding $100 to $3,725. Expanded number of slots for preschool program.

PA 300 of 2012 was designed to stabilize the MPSERS rate for FY2013 and thereafter through restructured pension system.

Consistent funding for Categorical Grants. 31a At-Risk Grants CTE Grants Adult Education Grants No allocation for costs associated with settling open labor agreements Teachers, Secretaries, Para-Educators, Administrators.

Over $35 million in revenue enhancements, efficiency measures, budget reductions and labor concessions since 2001. Contracting for services has provided cost containment and future savings. Health care plan changes and cost containmenthave provided savings. Recent retirement reforms have stabilized the district s contribution to the MPSERS fund. Steady enrollment growth. We must continue to focus on initiatives to preserve core K-12 instructional programs.

Governor s budget proposal will need to work its way through the legislative process. Actual student enrollment. Outcome of contract negotiations with several employee groups (Teachers, Clerical, Para-Educators, Administrators) Staffing changes. Outcome of additional staffing and operational efficiencies. We are committed to providing a 2014/2015 spending plan that falls within the available revenue resources. Budget must be adopted by June 30, 2014, in accordance with Michigan law.
