FY2021 School Funding using Town, State & School Numbers:

Doing some old fashioned math:

FY2020 school budget total $19,500,000.00.

Templeton Total - $6,682,836.00

Phillipston Total - $1,601,834,00

Templeton $6,682,836.00 + 21/2%/ $167,070.00

Phillipston $1,601,834,00 + 21/2%/ $40,045.85

Total 21/2% increase for FY2021 + $207,116.75

FY2020 total $19,500,000.00 + $207,116.75 =

FY2021 Total $19,707,116.75 and that is figured off dollars when Phillipston school was open, what happens when school is closed, what expenses drop?

So, did school district use common core math to arrive at their already stated number of $19,997,728.00?

FY2021 Templeton - $6,849,906.00

FY2021 Phillipston - $1,641,879.75

FY2021 NRSD NET

state aid from DESE: $11,067,748.00

NRSD E&D funds $ 500,000.00

NRSD Medicaid $ 200,000.00

Total NRSD $11,767,748.00

Towns Total $ 8,491,785.75

Total ALL $20,259,533.75

To me, that is a realistic budget based on 2 1/2 % increase on towns, using state (DESE) numbers, NRSD numbers and Town Numbers, please check my math and numbers.

Right now, I see the school district using town numbers, state numbers and their numbers, E&D + medicaid, showing a total of $19,997,728.00. Trust who you wish, use numbers you want, but that is my view from my seat, so since I think and I believe if you check records of school committee meeting (s) via youtube, $19,500,000.00 was a bit more than required, I believe you can conclude that $19,707,116.75 is fair, equitable and will again show the state it is time to stop giving us BS and show us the money, cause 19.7 is where I stand. Non negotiable.
