Budget Summary
Per Pupil Costs

Since salaries comprise as much as 85% of a typical district budget, staffing changes can significantly impact overall expenditures. The Elementary Schools Staffing page allows you to experiment with changes in positions not directly associated with classroom instruction including Administrative, Instructional Support, and Student Services staff positions at the Elementary school level.

Increasing common planning time and creating smaller, more individualized student groups may require a commitment of district resources. Reducing and streamlining staff not directly associated with classroom instruction can be a source for some of the funds required by such instructional improvement strategies.

Your base case data is shown below in the gray fields. Please enter values into the yellow redesigned fields to experiment with changing headcounts and salaries for various positions. You will immediately be able to see the impact on the district budget.

Please Note: To experiment with changes in classroom teaching staff, please go to the Teacher Compensation page.
