Superintendent Doug White has unveiled three proposed budgets for fiscal year 2014 to address uncertainty on school aid from the state, and staff cuts might result.

White told Selectmen from Marion, Mattapoisett, and Rochester at a joint meeting Wednesday night that many options were considered to avoid cuts, including tapping into the Old Rochester Regional School district’s "excess and deficiency fund," which holds extra revenue generated year-to-year.

The three budgets are based on three different levels of state aid, taking figures from competing school aid proposals put forth by Gov. Deval Patrick, the State House of Representatives and the State Senate.

White said legislators are scheduled to finalize a school aid figure by June 30.

Until then, he said the district prepared for one scenario that would reduce the school’s operations line item by $75,295. To achieve that, six staff members would be laid-off. Positions to be cut include teachers, support staff, and special education personnel.

To avoid cuts, the other two proposed budgets depend on a combination of increased state aid and excess and deficiency funds.

In all three cases, money from the surplus account is used to balance the school’s budget at a level that White said is required to maintain educational standards.

“There’s no fluff in this budget. The level of education that is necessary and expected in these communities takes this amount of money,” he said.

Using the surplus funds concerned Rochester Town Administrator Richard LaCamera.

The revenue from the surplus account is revenue that can’t be relied on each year, he said. Health insurance and pension cost increases will raise the budget by about $548,000 for fiscal year 2015, he said.

“I can tell you, speaking for the Town of Rochester, we can’t come up with that kind of money for that kind of assessment. We cannot ignore this is a problem. This is not sustainable going forward,” LaCamera said.

Currently, the surplus account totals about $830,000. To maintain the projected junior high and high school’s $16 million budget White said $150,000, $249,589, or $324,884 would need to be spent from the account this year.

White based the school budget on the state aid total that appeared in the governor’s budget. Christine Lynch, of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, advised White to draft the school’s budget using the governor’s numbers.

Under the state aid budgets being considered in Boston, and using the formula for distributing money to school districts, ORR would receive 2,868,513 under the House proposal, 3,017,802 under the State Senate’s, and $3,333,082 under the governor’s proposed budget.

Rochester Selectmen Chair Naida Parker asked White if the district will seek money from the towns in the form of a Proposition 2-1/2 tax override in the future, should budget problems persist.

White said he hasn’t discussed that with the School Committee and that there are no plans to have the tri-towns change how they fund the school district for the upcoming fiscal year.

Selectmen will be advised as the budget process moves forward, he said.

“We’re as concerned as anyone else,” White said.
