2007-08 Adopted Plan - Wake County Public School System

Growth RequestsInitiative: Child Nutrition Services (CNS)Current Funding Formula:The 2006-07 funding formula is based on 128,070 students attending theWake County Public School System (WCPSS). By dividing the currentfunding by 128,070 students, the current revenue per student is $312. It isprojected that 136,068 students will attend WCPSS in 2007-08,144,584students will attend WCPSS in 2008-09 and 153,794 students will attendWCPSS in 2009-10.2007-08 Budget divided by 136,068 students = $319/student2008-09 Budget divided by 144,584 students = $313/student2009-10 Budget divided by 153,794 students = $306/student1) Growth: CNS is projecting 5.9 percent average annual growth inrevenues and expenses through fi scal year 2009-10. CNS is planning topurchase a delivery truck in the 2007-08 and 2009-10 school year. Thisplanned rotation should enable CNS to maintain the required deliveryschedules.2) Floating Managers: As additional year-round schools are added tothe system, CNS needs a ‘fl oating’ manager in each of the nine supervisorareas. Managers of traditional schools are required to take their vacationon teacher workdays. There are no teacher workdays in year-roundschools, therefore managers must take vacation when students areattending school and meals are being served. The ‘fl oating’ managerin each area will operate schools, while managers are on vacation oron extended sick leave. When schools are converted to a year-roundcalendar, existing 10-month positions change to 12-month positions. Atthis time, CNS is assuming all new elementary schools will be opened onthe year-round calendar.3) Net Asset Balance: In 2005, CNS successfully completed an updatingof equipment and redecorating of the Broughton High School cafeteriaat a cost of approximately $200,000. CNS plans to expand this programto an additional 3-5 schools during this budget period. CNS is in the veryearly planning stages of this program and is not prepared to announcethe total cost. However, very early estimates will be in the range from$750,000 to $1,000,000. When fi rm cost estimates are available, CNSmanagement will bring a proposal before the Board for approval.4) Delivery Truck: CNS is planning to purchase a delivery truck in the2007-08 and 2009-10 school year. This planned rotation should enableCNS to maintain the required delivery schedules.Implementation Timeline & Budget Needed:“Projected Labor for New Schools” for the next three school years bymonths of employment is shown below.
