STAYING THE COURSE

An open letter from the Board Chairperson and the Superintendent

To the citizens of Mecklenburg County: Public schools need public support to survive and thrive. We are grateful for the support for public education that we received during the development and approval of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools operating budget for 2016-2017. Throughout this year's budget development process, it was clear that the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners and the citizens that the board represents recognize the importance of strong public schools. We appreciate the $11.3 million increase in our local operating budget. District-wide, we are seeing steady improvement in academic performance year over year. We plan to stay the course that is yielding this success. Therefore, the operating budget for the 2016-2017 school year focuses on established programs and initiatives, rather than the creation of new ones. We are also pleased to be able to offer our employees long-overdue raises this year, thanks to state and county funding. We were able to reduce or redirect $11.3 million in local funds and $288,000 in state funds to help us cover the costs of an additional 500 students, a state-mandated reduction in first-grade class sizes, a revised transportation model to provide greater access for all students and increases in salaries, health insurance and retirement costs. In all, our total budget increased to $1.38 billion, an increase of 2.5 percent over the preceding year. We will continue the programs, such as the North Star Literacy Initiative, embedding literacy across the curriculum and professional development that are helping us increase achievement each year. We remain committed to educating every child, every day for a better tomorrow and we appreciate the strong community support we receive.

Sincerely,

Mary T. McCray, Chairperson, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education

Ann Clark, Superintendent
