1 Investing in Student Success January 27 th, 2017 Marnell A. Cooper Chair, Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners Dr. Sonja Brookins Santelises CEO, Baltimore City Public Schools

2 Our annual budget process is most importantly a tool to align resources to our focus areas and the needs of our students 2 1. Student Wholeness Every student able to access programming and supports that meet the wholeness of their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests 2. Opportunity through Literacy Every student strengthening literacy to think deeply and communicate powerfully 3. School & District Leadership Every staff member empowered to grow and lead from his/her space

3 We are also building on the strategic choices we ve made in the past 3 Teacher Career Pathways 21 st Century Building Plan Pre-K Quality & Expansion Middle & High School Choice

4 The urgent needs of our students amplify the importance and challenge of our work 4 Baltimore City Maryland State 45% FARMS 1.9x 88% Extreme Poverty (% of Children) 6.5% 19.3% 3.0x Total Crime (per 100k ppl) x % Special Education* 11% 18% 1.6x Source: The Baltimore, MD crime data is derived from the FBI's uniform crime reports for the year of Poverty data is from the United States Census Bureau; Demographics data is from the Maryland State Department of Education *The State of Maryland calculates Special Education differently than ERS, resulting in 18% for the number comparable to the state compared to the 15% in the analyses from ERS.

5 For several years, City Schools has faced a structural gap, with costs rising faster than revenue 5 $ Expenses Revenue Time

6 This results in the need for new reductions each year until the underlying cost or revenue structure can be changed 6 $ Expenses Revenue Time One time reductions that do not address structural issues

7 Urban school districts across the country are hit with costs increasing higher than revenue 7 Philadelphia schools crippled by budget crisis

8 In past years, City Schools has taken action by working to reduce central office to a level below peer districts 8 Spend on Leadership and Management ($ per pupil) Peer Average = $1,144 $1,768 $1,843 $862 $1,146 $1,319 $1,003 $994 $937 $794 $620 New Haven Oakland Cleveland DC Boston Denver Baltimore Austin Prince George's County Charlotte Increasing enrollment Central Office FTE per Source: City Schools FY16 Merged GL and cumulative costing details reports ALL FUNDS, ERS analysis.

9 Positions have also been reduced over time 9 City Schools Historical FTE Total (filled positions including Surplus, All Funds) 10,185 9, Source: City Schools 9/1 PDR Reports ALL FUNDS, ERS analysis.

10 City Schools has also deployed a combination of short-term solutions that cannot become a part of long-term strategy 10 Recent Examples of Annual Gap Closure Measures to Align Cost to Revenue Decision FY17 Contributions from Fund Balance Defer 21 st Century spending ($20M) Freeze all discretionary spending after January ($13M) Draw down on fund balance ($12M) Leave unfilled positions as vacant ($8M) Savings ($M) $53 FY17 One time state revenue $13 FY16 Cost supplemental services to grants $4 FY16 Reduce contractual spending $3 While these have been necessary, they are not sufficient, as they do not fundamentally shift the cost and revenue curve. They also in most cases have been exhausted or are misaligned from long-term strategy. Source: City Schools Finance Department.

11 Currently, fund balance is at the low end of target levels 11 General Fund Balance as % of General Fund Adopted Budget TARGET RANGE* *The board s policy on target unassigned fund balance range was instituted in FY15 4.1% 3.3% 2.6% 2.7% 1.3% 1.6% FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 Fund Balance* $14.7M $18.0M $30.6M $32.7M $49.6M $39.8M Source: City Schools Finance Department and FY12 through FY17 Budget Books *General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance as of 6/30

12 Without taking on long-term solutions that make transformational change, City Schools will continually face a budget gap that will threaten its strategic priorities 12 $ (Billions) Revenue and Expense Projections by Year* (General Fund Only) * Expense Revenue * *FY19 & FY20 revenue projections will decrease based on updated enrollment figures that were just finalized FY16A FY17B FY18P FY19P FY20P % Revenue Change 4% -7% 4% 0% % Expenditure Change 5% 3% 3% 3% Net Surplus/ Gap $0M ($129M) ($115M*) ($151M*) Source: ERS and City Schools Multi-Year Revenue Projections, General Fund Only, ERS Analysis

13 What causes City Schools gap? What is City Schools doing to fund FY18 and begin work on longer-term solutions?

14 There are five big drivers of the structural gap 14 DRIVERS OF ANNUAL SPENDING INCREASE Revenue District Footprint Student Need Salary & Benefits 21st Century Investments REVENUE IS DECLINING SCHOOL SIZE MATTERS MORE DOLLARS SPENT ON STUDENTS WITH HIGHER NEEDS COMPENSATION INCREASE AT RATE OUTPACING REVENUE COMMITMENT TO BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS AREAS OF HIGHER SPENDING

Inflation data for FY17 not yet available. Source: City Schools Final Calculations for Major State Aid Programs

18 Relative to comparison districts, City Schools maintains a greater percentage of schools with low enrollment District Footprint 18 City Schools #s will shift with 21 st century implementation 34% % of ES/K8 Schools with <350 Students 39% 31% 20% 18% 25% 10% 18% 15% 23% 2% 2% Avg. Grade Size Baltimore Average PGC Anne Arundel Howard County New Haven Oakland Cleveland Denver Austin PGC Charlotte Increasing enrollment Source: Baltimore SY1516 Schools List, ERS CAPS database

19 Smaller schools and schools with smaller grade sizes create the following challenges District Footprint 19 Design implications of small schools: It is harder to organize a broad range of programming With less flexibility in staffing, it s harder to organize resources effectively to support small grouping and interventions Teacher teams that share content are smaller or don t exist, limiting teacher leadership Teachers must have a wider range of expertise, impacting the sustainability of teaching job WHOLENESS LITERACY WHOLENESS LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP Cost implications of small schools: School Admin and Operations costs are spread over fewer students Lower grade sizes create wide variation on class size with very small or very large class sizes In City Schools, schools with less than 350 students cost ~$940 more per pupil on average than larger schools*. This difference totals to an approximately ~$13.4M investment for the district.

20 Higher rates of student need also drive spending in City Schools Student Need 20 City Schools spends 24% of it s operating budget on services for students with disabilities, among the highest of comparison districts In part, this is explained by 41% more spending in physical health services and 60% more in social emotional services for students City Schools transportation costs are also higher for students with disabilities and rising overall, partly explained by increases in service costs and increases in homeless ridership City Schools serves more students with higher needs and spends more on each of those students than other districts. Investments beyond comparisons totals $72.6M Source: Baltimore SY1516 Schools List, City Schools Official 9/30 Student Count; City Schools FY16 Merged GL and cumulative costing details reports FY16-18 SPENDING INCREASE ($M) Transportation

21 These resource patterns often indicate a cycle of specialization Student Need 21 Classes with high & diverse needs More challenging for teachers to meet needs of all students Fewer resources in general education environment Cycle of Specialization Students identified for services outside of core classrooms Students may not experience a rigorous curriculum More resources devoted to special education and other support services

When we include fund surplus and the FY16 deferral of 21st Century spending, this nets to ~$25M decrease in revenue **In FY16-18, fluctuations in other categories of spending net to $3M decrease in overall spending.
