Education Funding in Alaska • Foundation Formula established by Alaska Statute 14.17.410 • Establishes a foundation funding entitlement based on student count (Average Daily Membership) • Student Count adjusted for several factors • School Size • District Cost • Special Needs • Vocational/Technical • Intensive Needs • Correspondence • Establishes Basic Need, Local Minimum Contribution and Capped Local Discretionary Contribution Adjusted ADM x Base Student Allocation + Quality Schools Grant + One-Time Funds

Factors in Funding Enrollment Amounts Set in Statute 2247 Regular Count Local Appropriations Base Student 66.55 Correspond. Allocation $5930 Minimum $4.69 mill. 104 Intensive Intensives x13 Discretionary $4-5 mill. Quality Schools $16 Tobacco Tax $$ One-time $$

KGBSD Spending Trends • 4-year comparison • Significant increase between FY17 and FY18 • Increases in spending primarily in Instruction, Special Education, Maintenance • Increases primarily in personnel expenditures • Increases corresponds to an increase in special education and intensive needs students population CONCLUSION: KGBSD’s spending reflects responsiveness to meeting the needs of the student population

Governor’s Proposed FY20 Budget • Reduces Education Foundation Funding by 24% - $269.4 million • Removes one-time $20 million from FY19, $30 million from FY20 • Removes debt reimbursement to municipalities for school projects What does this mean for KGBSD??? • Reduction of $6.4 million from state foundation funding • Removes one-time funds of $387,274 for FY19, $674,024 for FY20 • Removes $2.36 million in school debt funds for capital projects

POTENTIAL IMPACTS $7+ million in cuts = • 70-80 Teaching Positions • ALL Classified Staff – Paraprofessionals, Building Secretaries, Cooks, Custodians, Administrative Assistants, and other Support Staff • ALL Non-Personnel Expenditures + an additional $2.7 million in cuts This would result in a dramatic and potentially catastrophic restructuring of the public education system in Ketchikan.

KGBSD’s Response • Advocacy • Organizing a response – what is the community impact? • Contacting our Legislators • Stewardship • Cost controls & efficiencies • Thorough analysis of needs & trends • Correct Information • How is our money spent? • How are we doing compared to other districts in Alaska?
