LAST WEEK IN YOUR SCHOOL BOARD
The School Board met on September 27th for a Special Board Meeting. The Board approved the adoption of the 2011-2012 appropriations. The 2012-2013 state biennium budget under HB 153 kept Foundation level the same, but did not replace federal dollars i.e. Stimulus Funding. The state biennium budget also accelerated the phase out of the tangible personal property and electric utility reimbursements. As a result of all cuts in funding by the state is losing about $3 million over the course of the 2 year state budget. For fiscal year 2012 estimated general fund revenue for the school district will be 76% Local Revenue and 24% State Revenue. In response to state budget cuts our district reduced staff by approximately 20 positions following the end of the 2010-2011 school year and to help control the district budget and losses in revenue from the state. The Board also approved the appointment of employment of a long term certificated substitute and personal service contract for Royalaries/Band Front Advisor. The Board also discussed other such matters that came before the Board.
On September 30th attended the North Royalton Educational Foundation Annual Pasta Dinner at the North Royalton Middle School cafeteria. The proceeds of the event help fund teacher mini grants and scholarships for graduating seniors. Augie’s of North Royalton catered the dinner which was excellent. There was also various fun activities and entertainment by the middle school music students.
October 1st the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center celebrated their 40th Anniversary of operation. CVCC serves 25 communities and prepares youths and adults to enter, compete in, and advance in an ever-changing work world, and offers access to career training for people with special needs who want to be productive members of the workforce. Our students in the North Royalton School District are so lucky to have such a great place to pursue the career field of their choice.
