Total revenues have decreased drastically because <strong>of</strong> the most recent<br />
reductions in state aide. TO THIS POINT, THE JOSEPH BADGER SCHOOL<br />
DISTRICT IS PROUD OF CONTROLLING COSTS THROUGH ADVANCE PLANNING<br />
TO INCLUDE PERSONNEL AND OPERATIONAL SAVINGS WITHOUT SACRIFICING<br />
STUDENT SERVICES. The district will enter the <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2012</strong> school year<br />
with student services typical <strong>of</strong> past years:<br />
• 100% Pre-K-12 busing<br />

Fiscal Outlook<br />
School Districts across Ohio are still reeling from Governor Kasich’s<br />
FY<strong>2012</strong>-2013 budget plan. The Governor’s new biennium budget has a<br />
major impact on educational funding, i.e. state aide. You can see the<br />
effects <strong>of</strong> the new budget on the <strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Badger</strong> School District,<br />
according to the chart below:<br />
New Budget<br />

PARTICIPATE<br />
• Continue with the fourth year <strong>of</strong> the ongoing Computer<br />
Technology Initiative, to now include all grade 9 and 10 core<br />
curriculum courses. Each student and all staff members will now<br />
have access to a personal laptop computer on a daily basis thus<br />
grades 3-10 now have daily use <strong>of</strong> hands-on technology<br />
• All Pre-K-12 curriculum <strong>of</strong>ferings will remain intact for the <strong>2011</strong>-<br />
<strong>2012</strong> school year<br />
• The expansion <strong>of</strong> Instrumental Music to include Grade 5 will<br />
continue<br />
• BMS Gifted Curriculum remains in place<br />
• All Day Every Day Kindergarten/Enrichment remains intact<br />
• Pre-K will continue as a “not for pr<strong>of</strong>it” program<br />
• Elementary Enrichment for grades 3 and 4 students will continue<br />
• BHS Advanced Placement Curriculum will continue with the<br />
addition <strong>of</strong> AP Psychology<br />
• Grade 8 students will continue to have an opportunity to take<br />
three courses for BHS credit: French I, Algebra I, and Intro to<br />
Physics and Chemistry<br />
As the District strives to control costs and continue its lowest millage in<br />
Trumbull County, the Board <strong>of</strong> Education will provide student services<br />
within those revenues generated by the federal, state and local<br />
governments.
