Deputy Superintendent Ben Wortham, having just arrived after an afternoon bargaining session with the teachers' union, announced that a settlement had been reached with a 9.4% overall average increase.  The beginning teacher salary will increase from $31,500 to $35,000.

Dr. Copeland reviewed the rolled-back calculation .  A tax increase will be advertised for a 13.69% increase over the rolled back rate.  He then went on to review the Debt Service Funds (Fund 200).  Detailed information on Certificates of Participation, including principal, interest, dues and fees, can be found in the Budget presentation attachment.  Total debt paid out for 2006-07 is estimated at $5,892,223.

Funds 300, 410, 420 and 711 were briefly addressed by the respective Division/Department Heads.

After a brief recess, Mike Elliott, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services, addressed setting the district's level of service standard and the correlation with the Educational Facilities Plan.  The Plan must contain our proposed plan to establish the level of service standard and this standard will also need to be identified in the Interlocal Agreement with the BCC.  Jim Connell, Director of Facility Planning & Construction, reviewed the Tentative Educational Facilities Plan.   The detailed Educational Facilities Plan can be reviewed in the attachments.
