Memo To: School Board Members
Through: Stewart McDonald, Superintendent
From: Luke Fulp, Director of Finance
Date: April 5, 2010
Subject: FY11 Proposed Budget
Attached is the FY 2011 Proposed General Fund Budget. This version of the proposed budget
includes several adjustments from the budget presented in January.
• E - rate figures have been modified due to proposed changes in broadband interne
services (increased bandwidth) for town and rural schools. E -rate revenue was increased
by $444,300, while corresponding expenses were increased by $587,665. With these two
revisions, the net cost for increased communication services comes to $143,365.
Per DOEED recommendations, an accounting adjustment was also made for E -rate
expenses. Expenses were moved from the functional area of instruction to support
services - instruction. Both of these categories fall into the 70% instructional area
classification.
• Health Insurance Premiums were adjusted downward. In January, the proposed budget
included a 9% increase to all health insurance premiums. This projection was based on
industry trend and the district's YTD experience. Since January, the district's self - funded
health plan has continued to run better than expected. Based on renewal projections
provided by Mercer, health insurance increases have been reduced to 3% over FYI0.
This represents a budget savings of $225,429.
• On behalf Relief for PERS/TRS has been recalculated based on the State's issuance of
new actuarial rates for FY1 1. The net effect is zero, as both revenue and expense figures
were revised.
• Personnel adjustments were made to both certificated and classified staff. Budgeted
contract days and health insurance designations have been updated for several positions.
These adjustments were relatively minor; resulting in no additions or deletions to
budgeted positions.
The budget before you includes the Superintendent's recommendation of two (2) math coaches
and (I) educational technologist. The proposed budget also represents local funding budgeted at
the maximum allowable contribution.

Kodiak Island Borough School District
Our 'D Cstrtct
The Kodiak Island Borough School District, established in 1948, is a rural, public school district located on
the second largest island in the United States, in the Gulf of Alaska. The island has one city,
Kodiak, where the majority of the population is concentrated. There are four elementary schools, one
middle school, and one high school in the City of Kodiak There are six outlying Alaska Native villages
and one logging community on the island, accessible only by boat or small plane. Our village populations
range from 40 to 260 persons and our village schools have enrollments of 12 to 45 students. The road
system in Kodiak is located near the City of Kodiak and extends approximately 40 miles one way and 15
miles the other way from the city proper. The remainder of the island, with the exception of the villages,
is virtually uninhabited wilderness.
Ninety-five percent of our students in our village schools are
Alutiiq (Russian- Aleut) or "People of the Sea." Our remote village
communities are each represented by a federally recognized tribe.
Though westernization has dramatically altered Alutiiq lifestyles,
our indigenous people have combined western traditions and
technologies with their own worldviews to continue a distinct
subsistence lifestyle that is uniquely Native.
Community, board members and staff are committed to excellence
in education for all students in the district and encourage
thoughtful, articulated curriculum planning and enrichment
activities that will prepare students for success in their future.

The following reflects the achievement of our graduates on
the ACT and an indication of the extent to which students
are prepared for college -level work. While students
pursue a variety of paths after high school, all students
should be prepared for college and work. Even though the
SAT and ACT are not required tests, most Kodiak High
School students take one or both of these for college
applications. Through collaborative research with
postsecondary institutions nationwide, ACT has
established the following as college readiness benchmark
scores for designated college courses:
✓ English Composition: 18 on ACT
English Test
✓ Algebra: 22 on ACT Mathematics Test
✓ Social Science: 21 on ACT Reading Test
• Biology: 24 on ACT Science Test
A benchmark score is the minimum score needed on an ACT subject -area test to indicate 1 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher
or about a 75% change of obtaining a C or higher in the corresponding credit- bearing college course.

Kodiak High School
As a high school undergoing changes to deliver a 21st century
education, we know we cannot retain or hang onto past practices.
The changes to the type of skills students need to be successful
beyond high school are so great that they demand a new way of
doing business. District and school leadership have foreseen the
need for reinvention of the district to meet the needs of a new
reality - meeting the needs of its current and future students. There
is urgency and energy to reinvent, in part because our staff wants
to address the nation's concerns regarding student performance,
but more importantly, our staff views the present as an opportune
time to create and to reinvent its educational programming. The
possibility of building a new and renovated school is certainly a
driver for change.

The Kodiak High School community has a vision of
high expectations for the future: high achievement,
rigorous learning, workplace competencies, and a new
and renovated facility to deliver the 21st century
education our students deserve. Our vision guarantees
that students who leave Kodiak High School will be
well prepared to contribute to society. Each student
will leave with the necessary skills to meet and exceed
the demands of a new century. Students will be sought
after by institutions of high learning and employers
needing employees with a 21st century education.

Special Education
Special Education is a federal and state mandated program. Funding for this mandate, however, is
insufficient, requiring school districts to support the shortfall out of their general operating budgets. We are
committed to all students on the continuum of learning and offer the following programs in our district.
Preschool at Peterson Elementary:
Students with disabilities such as blindness, autism, health
impairments, developmental delays or communication
delays are integrated with typically developing peers.
Resource Rooms at every school:
Students with specific learning disabilities and health
impairments are most commonly seen in the Resource
Rooms At the elementary level students usually receive 30
minutes or more per day of additional instruction. At the
secondary level students attend one or more classes in the
Resource Room. Instruction is most often in reading,
writing and math.
15
Autism Program at Peterson Elementary
KIBSD offers this program for students diagnosed with autism who need services beyond the Resource Room
program. Some students are served in general education classrooms for the much of the day; some need more
services in separate classrooms.

functional academic skills and pre - vocational skills /vocational training.

Kodiak Island Borough /City of Kodiak
Fisheries Policy Draft
The Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Kodiak, as legitimate stakeholders in the
health of Alaska's renewable marine resources, hereby join together to set forth a joint
fisheries policy to guide community leaders and ensure that policymakers recognize and
protect Kodiak's cultural and economic reliance on Alaska's marine resources.
The marine resources of the Gulf of Alaska have sustained the people of Kodiak
for10000 years. In 1792, Russian fur traders established a trading center at Kodiak,
which makes Kodiak the oldest port in Alaska. Thus, for more than 200 years, Kodiak
has served as the largest commercial marine resource -based hub in the Gulf of Alaska.
The city of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough have built and continue to invest in
infrastructure that supports our marine industries.
The fisheries, including commercial, sport and subsistence, is the backbone of Kodiak's
economy: The seafood industry, including fish harvesting and seafood processing, is
the second largest employment sector in Kodiak, equaling 27 percent of total
employment. Including other fisheries - related sectors such as the U.S. Coast Guard,
Alaska Department of Fish and Game and NOAA/NFMS, waterfront businesses, and
transportation and marine support services, the fishing sector comprises more than 35
percent of Kodiak's total employment.
Kodiak consistently ranks among the top three largest fishing ports in the nation in
terms of value and poundage landed. Homeport to more than 700 fishing boats, Kodiak
has the largest and most diversified fishing port in Alaska. Area residents hold more
than 1,100 commercial fishing permits. Of the 10 top employers in Kodiak, five are fish
processing plants, including facilities in remote sites throughout the Kodiak Island
Archipelago. The processing sector employs a resident workforce of approximately
1,370 people for a combined payroll of more than $54 million.
The Borough and City of Kodiak are traditionally dependent on, and have made
significant infrastructure investment in the region's fishing industry
Resource management decisions made by State and Federal regulators have deep and
wide ranging impacts on the economic and social well -being of the citizens of Kodiak
The Constitution of the State of Alaska reserves fishery resources for the benefit of its
citizens
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration has encouraged Regional
Management Councils to take advantage of the special community provisions in the
Magnuson Stevens Act to help ensure the sustainability of fishing communities,
including the preservation of working fishery waterfronts, fishery infrastructure diverse
fishing fleets, and resource access.
Therefore:
The Borough and City of Kodiak will act as stakeholders in regional fisheries
management decisions and require managers to provide data and analysis regarding
potential impacts that changes in resource management programs will have to local
economies. Socioeconomic impact analysis?
The Borough and City will promote fisheries resource management using an ecosystem
based approach for long term sustainability, including a robust investment in quality
research.
The Borough and City will promote fisheries resources management policies and
programs that avoid economic harms to the community and encourage entry level
opportunities.
The Borough and City will work in close partnership with the State of Alaska to ensure
its citizens have access to marine resources.
The Borough and City will work in close partnership with the North Pacific Fisheries
Management Council to develop community provisions contained in the Magnuson
Stevens Act.
For Discussion:
Marketing? Value Added? Research for value added?
