Growth RequestsInitiative: Western Area SchoolsCurrent Funding Formula:The current budget was assessed to project the additional dollars neededto support the district growth of new schools scheduled to open. In aneffort to arrive at and apply a funding formula, each current dollar amountallotted to the different account codes was divided by the existing numberof schools. A further analysis was conducted by the Finance/BudgetOffi ce and an average amount per school was calculated to be $998 (excludinggraduation funding and national award travel funding). The averageof $998 is the amount that was used in the calculations and budgetplanning process for this specifi c business case. Specifi cally, this fi gurewas multiplied by the number of additional schools projected for fi scalyears 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10, with projected increases includedin the appropriate budget codes.Implementation Timeline and Budget Needed:The additional dollars requested and added to the budget for 2007-08total $1,960 to accommodate the addition of East Cary MS and alignthe overall Western Area budget with the per-area, per-school average.Budget increases for 2008-09 accommodate the addition of E17 andE22 elementary schools, $1,997.
