By agreeing to a base freeze on the salary schedule for FY11, the teachers’ association has saved jobs. Although the Board and administration are looking for additional methods to reduce costs or increase revenues, we feel that the actions recommended tonight will provide maximum savings without eliminating programs or causing reductions in service to core academic areas. The Board hopes that the State of Illinois will be able to provide more in GSA and Categorical payments than is currently planned, however, based on a projected local deficit next year of $545,000, the Board feels it is imperative to make meaningful reductions now. Because the Board currently has of $3M in operating fund balances, it feels it can absorb a deficit for one year. However, if the state’s financial situation does not improve next year, the Board will have to reevaluate its fiscal condition and make adjustments again.

Mr. Cantwell then commented that many of items under the plan represent one-year savings only. He stressed that even with the cuts, the Board anticipates a budget deficit next year of around $100,000. He urged community members concerned with these reductions to call and write their legislators and urge their legislators to fully fund the state’s share of public education costs.

Motion was made by Mrs. Rumbold, seconded by Mr. Turnbull, to direct the superintendent to implement the FY11 cost reduction plan as approved by the board as presented. Motion was approved by a 6-0 vote.
