Background:
|
Budget parameters will be used in the planning and development of the 2021-22 (FY22) budget. The parameters help to guide the decisions made during the budget preparation process. The parameters are necessarily modified by the resources available.
MPS is committed to developing a budget that reflects a commitment to fair resources, quality and socially transformative learning, a supportive environment for employees and an equitable education system for all with the following parameters as guidance:
1. Ensure that there are sufficient resources, including a textbook adoption, to provide high-quality classroom instruction at the Tier 1 level
2. Prioritize school budgets by adjusting and repurposing educational programming and departmental budgets
3. Implement the salary schedules with a possible cost-of-living increase
4. Consider employee benefit modifications for eligible employees to identify cost savings and increase efficiencies
5. Explore operating efficiencies including those related to transportation
6. Implement a multi-tiered mental health approach to promote students’ mental health and social-emotional learning
7. Strengthen a well-rounded educational experience by increasing the allocation in areas of school library, art, music and physical education
8. Provide flexibility to meet standards to safeguard health, safety and educational needs during the COVID-19 pandemic
9. Restore revenue to the Construction Fund to address deferred maintenance
10. Prepare a balanced budget that is based on state law and maximizes the revenue limit
