<br />Anoka-Hennepin School District <br /> <br />COMMUNITY EDUCATION <br /> <br />MEMO <br /> <br />Date: March 30, 2009 <br />To: Kurt Ulrich <br />Heidi Nelson <br />From: Reid Mortensen <br />Re: Community School Funding <br /> <br />I have included copies of the Community School Budget Proposal for 2009, the City of <br />Ramsey Community Schools Overview for 2008, and copies of youth program brochures. <br /> <br />I have summarized key programming and funding points below: <br /> <br />· Tentative .budget request for 2010 is $35,589. <br />· Budget portion for youth program provides for 30-35 youth programs/activities <br />per quarter (fall, winter, spring). <br />· Additional Community Education funding provides for 10-15 youth <br />programs/activities per quarter (fall, winter, spring). <br />· Ramsey Elementary open to community groups for community use with two <br />nights at no charge for building security costs. <br />· Budget portion for Teen Program Subsidy provides subsidy for teen night at <br />Ramsey Elementary on Fridays from September-April (minimum 12 nights), <br />· Budget portion for Summer Program provides for summer program at Ramsey <br />Elementary (six weeks/four days a week/mornings). <br /> <br />I have summarized impacts of funding reductions below: <br /> <br />· Reduction in the budget portion for youth program would reduce proportionately <br />the number of hours a community school programmer would work per week and <br />the number of youth programs/activities offered per quarter. <br />· Current position is held by Jill Smith who is at 40 hours per week and a 175-day <br />contract. Ramsey currently funds 30 hours of this position. <br />· This same reduction would increase the number of nights that community groups <br />would be charged for building security~ <br />· Reduction in the budget portion for Teen Program Subsidy would reduce or <br />eliminate the number of teen nights. <br />· Reduction in the budget portion for the Summer Program would reduce or <br />eliminate the summer program. <br /> <br />We appreciate the opportunity to share this information with you, the collaboration we <br />share with the City of Ramsey and the importance we both place on community, family, <br />and youth programs. <br /> <br />discover f <br />COMMUNITY <br />EDUCATION , <br />Anokll- Hennepin School District C> <br />2727 Ferry Street North · Anoka, MN 55.30.3 · Tel: 763.506.1260 · Fax: 763.506.1299 · TTY: 76.3.506.1292 <br />www.anoka.k12.mn.lls/ce <br />
