News Report Two
[3] The Wilton School Board has proposed a 5.99% spending increase. If approved, it would be the largest jump in at least eight budget cycles. The 5.99% request more than doubles the highest previous year-over-year increase in the last eight years, which was 2.99% for the 2021-2022 school year. The biggest driver of the $91.8 million proposed budget remains teacher salaries. These account for 64% of the total request at $59 million. The $59 million is up from the $56.7 million budgeted for the current school year.
There are some factors that could affect the budget moving forward. One of those is total enrollment. The district will have a total enrollment of 3,742 students. Almost all of these students will be in kindergarten through high school, but 66 will be in prekindergarten and other programs. This represents 47 fewer students than the current year.
[4] Fewer students mean less federal and state funding.
新闻二
威尔顿学校董事会提议将支出增加5.99%。若获批准,这将是至少八个预算周期以来的最大涨幅。此次5.99%的增幅要求,是过去八年中前最高同比增幅(2021-2022学年的2.99%)的两倍多。这项9180万美元的拟议预算中,最主要的支出仍然是教师工资,总计5900万美元,占预算请求总额的64%。该金额相较于本学年预算的5670万美元有所增加。
未来有一些因素可能影响预算,其中之一是总入学人数。该学区的总入学人数将为3742名学生。这些学生几乎都将就读幼儿园至高中阶段,但其中有66人将参与学前班及其他教育项目。这比本学年减少了47名学生。
学生人数减少意味着来自联邦和州政府的资金将会缩减。
