Additional Considerations:
Since 2011, our debt service obligation has decreased by $1,782,467
Since 2009 our share of local revenues (NOT including consolidated
services and debt) has decreased from 51.9% in FY2011 ($84,139,838) to
47.9% in FY2016($82,098,708). If our local share were still 51.9%, we
would be receiving $6 million additional local dollars
Between 2011 and 2016 VRS costs have increased $4,008,628 and the
local contribution to schools has increased $5,206,480

Regarding need for a significant

compensation increase for teachers and
staff.
