Performance audit results in
If you read the story today about Carlisle’s state performance audit, you already know it outlines $1.6 million in potential annual savings.
The audit compares Carlisle to what might be considered ideal districts - schools that might not be similar in size or economy, but are high performing and have low per pupil spending.
What I couldn’t include in the story was the chart on page 57 of the audit, which shows the full-time equivalent jobs per 1,000 students for schools that are similar in size to Carlisle.
Here’s how it breaks down:
Carlisle has 7.4 administrators; similar schools have 7.06
Carlisle has 67.6 education staff; similar schools have 68.8
Carlisle has 1.2 professional staff; similar schools have 1.01
Carlisle has 1.8 technical staff; similar schools have 3.55
Carlisle has 8.7 office/clerical staff; similar schools have 11.95
Carlisle has 2.4 maintenance workers; similar schools have 0.91
Carlisle has 7.2 groundskeepers/custodians; similar schools have 6.53
Carlisle has 7.2 bus drivers; similar schools have 9.84
Carlisle has 8.9 food service workers; similar schools have 6.93 (this doesn’t come from Carlisle’s general fund)
Carlisle has 11.7 other personnel; similar schools have 2.07
Total: Carlisle 124.4; similar schools 118.54
(The “ideal” schools had 113.6 total full-time equivalent employees)
(As a note, I can’t completely vouch for where employees fall within these categories. For instance, Carlisle’s athletic director is also a teacher — so his position may be split between two categories or be counted as a full-time teacher or administrator.)
So what do you think? Are there any areas that Carlisle needs to cut? Anywhere they need more?
