Article 14: Shall the City raise and to appropriate the sum of $958,929 in additional local funds, which exceeds the State’s Essential Programs and Services allocation model by $ 958,929 as required to fund the budget recommended by the board of directors.
The board of directors recommends $958,929 for additional local funds and gives the following reasons for exceeding the State’s Essential Programs and Services fund model by $958,929.
Explanation: The additional local funds are those locally raised funds over and above the school administrative unit’s local contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12 as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act and local amounts raised for the annual payment on non-state-funded debt service that will help achieve the municipality’s budget for educational programs.
