ANNUAL REPORT & PROPOSED BUDGET
for FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Lynda W. Green
Superintendent of Schools
It is my pleasure to share with you
the recommended 2007-2008 budget for
MSAD #57. The budget as developed by the
Finance Committee was unanimously
approved by the School Board at the
meeting of April 25, 2007. The Finance
Committee made a commitment to conduct
a comprehensive analysis of the budget
process and the requested allocations in
order to respond to the needs of the
communities to present a conservative
budget.
VISION STATEMENT
MSAD #57 is committed to creating an
educational culture in which the Maine
Learning Results can be mastered by all
our students.
The budget development process changed significantly
this year. The 2007-2008 budget represents actual needs rather
than an increased percent over the prior year. The budget is
zero-based, meaning that a majority of the line items are based
on need with defined back-up provided. Salary accounts were
analyzed and developed based on actual scales; benefits have
been aligned with salary accounts to represent the exact funds
needed. Through this process, the budget is an actual reflection
of projected costs. In addition, during the 2006-2007 school
year, the process of allocating the budget funds changed to
provide a system of checks and balances so that the district can
begin to develop an accurate history of expenditures when
building subsequent budgets.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
a life long learner
an effective communicator
a responsible community contributor
an effective decision maker
an effective problem solver
a quality worker
BELIEF STATEMENTS
All students must be challenged to
recognize, develop, and use their
individual strengths for healthy personal
growth.
Once again, the School Board met in October to establish budget
priorities. These are:
All students must be challenged
individually to think critically and
creatively as they solve problems, set
goals, and make responsible decisions.
• To maintain current programs while honoring the mandate from
our communities to minimize tax increases.
All students can produce quality work
both as indiviuals and
productive group members.
• To support the district and school goals to increase student
performance in reading, writing, and mathematics.
All students must be encouraged to be
curious, questioning, and
reflective life long learners.
• To maintain appropriate class size to improve instruction.
• To establish 5-year plans in the area of capital improvement,
transportation, curriculum, and technology.
All students must be challenged to
develop and use literacy
skills for effective communications.
• To establish a 3-year plan for special education.
• To support alternative and intervention programs to address the
needs of all students.

Salary and Benefit accounts
have increased by only $45,503

BUDGET staff. Salaries represent 59.02%
of the entire FY08 budget.
Employee Benefit accounts will

14.39% health insurance premiums
9.73% Contracted Services accounts

$13,675, INCLUDING the funds
required to operate the new
Middle School, and renovate the
old junior high for use as a
Freshman Academy. FY08
represents the first full year of
operation of the new middle
school. While the state provides
96% of the funds for repayment
of the debt service, additional
operating costs impact this
budget by more than $366,000.
Obviously this increase has
been covered through
reductions and savings in other
areas of the budget. This budget
reflects the reduction of more
than $1,100,000 from initial
budget requests.

The State has released
preliminary subsidy figures
for FY08. Based on the
Governors’ “Scenario B”
budget, we can expect to
receive $16,068,136. In
order to receive this
amount, the district must
raise locally the sum of
$15,821,160. This is
known as the local “mill
rate expectation” and is
based on 7.44 mills on the
state valuation of each
Town. Because the EPS
formula is funded at only
95% of the full EPS costs,
local towns are required to
raise the additional 5%
towards EPS costs not
covered by the State. For
FY08 the amount of local
additional funds has been
reduced by $2,041,204 or
62.03%. This reduction
results in the district
exceeding the State EPS
model by only $16,759.

ARTICLE XV DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY ADDITIONAL LOCAL FUNDS BEYOND WHAT THE VOTERS
HAVE APPROVED IN THE PREVIOUS EXPENDITURE ARTICLES II THROUGH XIV.
ARTICLE XV.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL FUNDS.
Shall Maine School Administrative District No. 57 raise and Appropriate $1,249,593 in
additional local funds which exceeds the State’s Essential Programs and Services
funding model by $16,759 The Board of Directors recommends $1,249,593, which,
exceeds the State’s Essential Programs funding model by $16,759 due to inequities in
the EPS funding formula, including, but not limited to the regional labor market
adjustment factor which penalizes MSAD #57 by over $800,000. The EPS formula,
also does not take into consideration the significant increases in energy costs;
Worker’s Comp premiums; and the costs associated with the full year operation of
our new middle school in 2008.)
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 grade12 as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act and
local amounts raised for the annual debt service payment the non-state-funded portion of
school construction project that will help achieve the District’s budget for educational programs.

education from kindergarten to grade 12 as described in the Essential Programs and

funds for school construction projects, additional local funds for school purposes under
