Bob Sanborn discussed rationale for budget increase, and assessment, and <br /> presented a handout which answered questions regarding enrollment trends, state revenue <br /> cutbacks,and a shift in state required contributions. <br /> The starting point for the assessment is the required,mini mum, contribution. Mr. Sanborn <br /> was not certain of the cost of assessment if there were no Mashpee students in attendance at <br /> Cape Cod Tech. (enrollment of Mashpee students in Cape Cod Tech has increased). Property <br /> and income levels also affect ct assessment. State revenue cuts at the School, as well as on the <br /> transportation side, are anticipated, and he is not comfortable stating that they are going to be <br /> "level funded". School has control over the budget,but not over assessment. Cape Cod Tech <br /> has met with other Towns regarding assessments. lir. Sanborn wants equitable education for <br /> both Mashpee and Cape Cod Tech students,and is diligently working on reducing spending. <br /> Mr. Sanborn requested that it be known for the record that Cape Cod Tech is not governed by <br /> preposition 2 1/2,ho ever,their budget(with the 2.9% mncrease) includes health insurance, <br /> maintenance,custodial expenses,retiree benefits, and Barnstable County assessment. A <br /> health insurance cut has been made. <br /> 3/13/2009 l <br />
