A few items of note:
- WPS foundation budget will increase by 4% next year ($11.1 million, with $9.5 million from the state and $1.46 million coming from the city). This is due to an increase in enrollment (of 280 students), an increased number of limited English proficient students, and a change in the inflation factor.*
- The inflation factor (of 1.78%) does not reflect the actual increase in costs.
- Special education circuit breaker funding appears (note the verb) to increase by $1.1 million
*I should note that there's also some complications here with charter school reimbursement, enrollment, and changes. It probably deserves its own post, but read the bottom of page 2 to the middle of page 3 if you're interested.
**Also, those trucks and other equipment out clearing parking lots and driveways of excess snow during non-school hours aren't free. Watch the next quarter finance report on this.
