THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO THE LOSS OF THE
WMS BUILDING• We will secure MSBA funding for
approximately half of the eligible costs of the replacement building.
• We will secure MSBA funding for approximately half the cost of removing the old Middle School building and remediating the site.

THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO THE LOSS OF THE
WMS BUILDING• By eliminating the need to continue to use
the existing WHS, we consolidate operating and maintenance costs into one building which will house 60% of WCS students.
• We also avoid costs of rebuilding or renovating WHS building that we would have had to face in the near future.

MAINTENANCE BUDGET OVERVIEW
• WCS Maintenance Budget Overview
School Years Budget Grade/Building Change2011-2012 $319,6662012-2013 $185,7582013-2014 $240,0952014-2015 $223,931 2nd gr. to MAC - 5th gr. to WES2015-2016 $219,747 6th gr. To WES – 7/8th gr. to HS
Projected Maintenance cost for the New School Building $36,450
PresenterPresentation NotesThe Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) expects Districts to spend approximately 10% of its budget on maintenance. Additional incentive points can be awarded if they feel that our buildings have been well maintained. Prior to the discovery of the PCB’s, the Westport Middle School was rated a 3 out of a high ranking of 4, according to the MSBA. Cost per school varies each year, depending on greatest need. For example, this year we have invested more in removing asbestos tiles at the MAC compared to our other schools. Another year we removed the carpet at the high school due to health and safety concerns. We have a district line item that our Head of Maintenance, Mike Duarte, maintains.

SCHOOL OPERATING BUDGET
FY18 2017-2018 $17,716,616FY17 2016-2017 $17,145,822FY16 2015-2016 $16,815,053FY15 2014-2015 $16,013,860FY14 2013-2014 $15,873,326
- With proposition 2.5%, we can expect that our budget will increase approximately 2.5% each year.
PresenterPresentation NotesOur staffing is based on the number of students we have and programs offered. Even if our enrollment increased by 5%, we do not feel we would need any additional funds, other than for the normal cost of inflation. We have the right number of staff currently based on the number of students we have and based on the DESE requirements. We will quite possibly reassign some staff. For example, our current Technology teacher may now teach in the Makerspace classroom. Our current courses are being re-written for 21st century learners. When the new school is open, high maintenance costs and modular units will no longer be on the table.

COST PER STUDENT
FY16 Westport $14,144.18
Per Pupil Expenditure should decrease when the new school building is built based on the following factors:
• Modular units cost savings*• Reduction of 1/3 of energy costs resulting in $100K utility
savings per year• Maintenance cost savings• Increase in Chapter 70 Funds (student retention through grade
12)
*Modular Unit cost $70,991(FY18), last year of 3 yr lease, 1 year rollover (FY19), purchase price (FY20) $325,000.

WHY BUILD NOW?
ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY
Almost 50% reimbursement of eligible costs
Climbing interest rates and construction costs
Community use
Increased property values
PresenterPresentation NotesWhy should people w/o children vote for the school?
-
WHAT IF WE VOTE “NO”• Loss of at least $40M of state funding• WCS is removed from the MSBA pipeline• Left with WHS which is 70 years old,
inefficient, and outdated and will need to be replaced within 10 years
• Cost to replace WHS in 10 years will be significantly greater with rising interest rates and construction costs.
• We would have to conduct a new Feasibility Study WITHOUT MSBA funds
• Unlikely to be accepted back into the MSBA pipeline. ALL future project costs at Town expense.
-
WHAT IF WE VOTE NO”• WMS will still be an albatross to Westport• Loss of state funds toward the demolition and
abatement of the WMS (approximately half the cost)
• Overcrowding at WCS will still need a solution• Need to buyout modular classrooms at MAC
for a cost of $325K• Left with recurrent cost of maintaining WMS
at $100K+/year• Loss of students to other high schools• Impact on Westport businesses as families
move or seek education elsewhere
