 Last year a cost estimate for an EBD program was presented to the Board with a cost analysis of in- district versus Out of District (OOD).  Prior to the January 2017 budget work session, the 2017-2018 proposed budget had $481,196 in tuition to private & other schools.  This represented an increase of $151,259 over the 2016-2017 current budget of $329,937.  The EBD program was proposed as a budget neutral item and approved at the 1/17/17 budget work session.

 2017-2018 proposed budget changes as of 1/17/17: ◦ The tuition line was $481,196 and then reduced by $202,500 in anticipation of bringing some OOD student(s) back to Henniker Community School (request in proposed budget remains $278,696 ). ◦ By keeping students in district for 2017- 2018, we reduced tuition cost by $51,241.

 The EBD Program shows $133,700 as a budget driver  EBD positions equal $133,700 in salary increases: ◦ 1 FTE Special Ed Teacher = $55,000 1 ◦ 1 FTE School Psychologist = $65,000 2 ◦ 3 FTE Paraprofessionals = $39,000 1 ◦ .4 FTE BCBA = $26,700 1 Note 1: New staff positions for the EBD program Note 2: The salary reflects an additional $13,000 over the current .6 school psychologist’s salary, as this position becomes a1.0 FTE position.
