With no discussion, Vicksburg Warren School District trustees at a called meeting Friday adopted an $82.8 million budget for 2011-12.

The vote was split 3-1, with District 1 Trustee Bryan Pratt, District 4 Trustee Joe Loviza and District 5 Trustee Sally Bullard voting in favor, and District 3 Trustee Jim Stirgus Jr., who voted by phone, dissenting. District 2 Trustee Zelmarine Murphy did not attend.

The budget forecasts revenues of about $79 million, including $27,651,252 from local sources such as property taxes, summer school tuition, student activity admissions and gaming tax. Projected state contributions were set at $35.5 million, and federal funds at just over $15 million. About $750,000 comes from 16th Section leases.

No property tax increases and no staff layoffs are expected, VWSD financial director Dale McClung said at a public hearing April 28.

Expenditures will increase by about $2.8 million over the 2010-11 school year. The plan not only prevents a reduction in personnel, it also meets the general needs of the district’s nearly 9,000 students and allows for the “accelerated program for transition,” or APT, which aims to help over-age students master course work, catch up and either work toward graduation, a GED or vocational programs, Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Duran Swinford said.

Spending will exceed revenues, McClung has said, but noted the discrepancy is covered by carry-over funds expected to remain at the end of the fiscal year June 30.

The budget provides for 1,278 employees, 669 certified or licensed and 609 non-licensed, compared to 673 licensed and 601 non-licensed, for a total of 1,274 that were included in the 2010-2011 budget.

The district has eliminated licensed and non-licensed positions, through retirements and attrition and not through layoffs.

Salary and benefits comprise just under 72 percent of expenditures, just slightly higher than the current year.

Also Friday, the board tabled approving a bid for construction of an addition at the Warren Central High School field house until its next regular meeting May 26.
