Executive Summary 
The budget presented herein represents a collaborative and open effort between all departments of the Buffalo City School District
(the “District”). Each year the District continues to face major structural deficits that must be closed while prioritizing the budget
goals of adequately staffing schools and maintaining direct services to students. This task has become increasingly challenging each
and every year.
Overall, the 2012-13 budget is increasing $23.2 million above the 2011-12 budget. Total full time employees (FTE) are increasing
173, including 161 teachers. This is largely due to the expiration of the Federal JOBS program of $7.9 million that was used as a
one-shot revenue to balance the budget for the current year as well as positions added after the 2011-12 budget was adopted.

Revenues:
Prior to 2012-13, the District faced three straight years of state aid reductions coupled with structural budget deficits of
approximately $20 to $30 million. Given that the District is 81% dependent on state aid and has no authority to raise its own
revenue, cuts in aid put tremendous stress on the budget. While State aid to Buffalo increased $31.4 million as part of the State’s
adopted budget, the District is receiving $135.7 million less
in Foundation Aid after the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA)
than had been originally promised as part of former Governor
Spitzer’s Educational Investment Plan which was abandoned
after the first year. The GEA is an amount the State deducts
from education aid to balance its own budget. It is also
important to understand that of the $31.4 million aid
increase, only $11.3 million is available to truly fund
operations. The remaining aid increase is for expense based
aids and will be used to pay for increases in the related costs.
As stated, the State funds 81% of the General Fund budget.
The City contribution has not increased since 2006-07 and
represents 9% of the budget. County Sales Tax and all other
revenues make up 5% each.
Maintenance of Effort Budget Deficit
As of April 2012, the District’s projected 2012-13 budget deficit totaled $35.1 million due to increases above the 2011-12 budget of
expenditures totaling $38.7 million and only $3.6 million in revenues. The annual structural deficit totaled $19.4 million and
comprised of increases in health insurance ($4.7m), annual salary increases guaranteed by contract or law ($6.1m), charter school
tuition ($4.4m), and pension contributions ($4.2m). Additionally impacting the deficit is the Federal JOBS program, a onetime grant
in 2011-12 that funded 101 positions and $7.9 million in salaries and benefits. These salaries and positions are assumed to come
back to the General fund for 2012-13.

It is important to remember that a budget is an estimate. The budget process includes making reasonable assumptions and
estimates that allow the District to achieve its goals while protecting against budget deficits. Adjustments can be made at a later
date if significant changes to the estimates or assumptions occur.
The 2012‐13 General Fund Budget is based on the following baseline assumptions: 
Revenues:
 State aid is based on Adopted State Budget
 The City will not change funding from the current level
 $15 million of Unassigned Fund Balance will be appropriated to help balance the budget
 $4.5 million of Assigned Fund Balance will be appropriated to balance the budget
 Sales tax receipts will increase 6.0% ($2 million) based on the trend and regional projections
Expenditures:
 Single salary step increment is included for 2012-13; no other pay raises for the upcoming year except for those in current
collective bargaining agreements
 Charter tuition will be frozen at 2010-11 per pupil amount
 One new charter school will open that will enroll 162 Buffalo resident students
 The Pinnacle Charter School will close and the District will budget 24 classroom teachers to absorb approximately 520
students (risk)
 District will not be forced to change its current health insurance plan
 The Contract for Excellence set-aside will total $13.6 million and will fund ELL programs, Guidance Counselors for the Student
Support Teams and Social Workers
 Federal JOBS program that funded 101 positions expires June 30, 2012 and those positions are absorbed back into the
General Fund
 The early retirement incentive passed by the Board of Education may help mitigate layoffs and/or reduce costs 
 District administration will continue to work with school staff to change bell times, to gain efficiencies and significant savings
in transportation costs 
 Efficiency recommendations from Say Yes may be incorporated at a later date to redirect expenditures to fund other priority
programs

Risks: 
 Pinnacle Charter School has engaged in a legal battle with the Board of Regents to remain open 
 Based on legislation adopted in the State budget, 2012‐13 state aid increases totaling $33.4 million for the general fund are 
at risk if the District does not obtain the State Education Commissioner’s approval by January 17, 2013 on a new teacher and
principal evaluation system. This aid loss is on top of any losses for potential supplemental grants. The Districts 
administration continues to work diligently on an evaluation plan approvable by the State and that the District’s unions will
sign off on 
The District is often at the mercy of actions taken by external parties including our unions and the State of New York. This was
evidenced in the 2011-12 fiscal year with the ongoing dispute between the Buffalo Teachers Federation and the Commissioner of
Education. Despite this verity, the District must adopt a budget that is timely and uses the best assumptions available at the time.
That being said, to mitigate the impact of the identified risks, the District’s administration will continue to identify cost saving
measures and if necessary, consider a freeze on expenditures.

Structural Budget Deficit: 
Annual Deficit Drivers
The District continues to face an annual structural deficit that ranges
between $21 and $31 million. The four major drivers are annual salary
increments (steps) that are guaranteed by law even when after contracts
expire, pension rates set by the New York State pension systems, health
insurance for both employees and retirees and charter school tuition
payments. On an annual basis these deficit drivers comprise approximately
80% of the deficit. All of these costs are primarily beyond the control of the
District. In the case of annual step increases, absent new collective
bargaining agreements, they continue at a rate of approximately 2.5% for
teachers and administrators based on the Taylor Law and Triborough
Amendment. Those two contracts expired in 2004, yet employees continue
to receive the annual salary increments and enjoy the rich benefits
negotiated decades ago. Legislative action is needed to address these
annual cost increases.
 
 
Four Year Financial Plan: 
 
While closing the operating deficit was accomplished without wide spread layoffs and elimination of vital services to students, the out
year gaps present a significant challenge to the District. With limited increases in State aid, no increases in aid from the City and
continual increases in the structural deficit drivers, sweeping and devastating reductions to close the deficits will be unavoidable.

  • 3. Executive Summary  The budget presented herein represents a collaborative and open effort between all departments of the Buffalo City School District (the “District”). Each year the District continues to face major structural deficits that must be closed while prioritizing the budget goals of adequately staffing schools and maintaining direct services to students. This task has become increasingly challenging each and every year. Overall, the 2012-13 budget is increasing $23.2 million above the 2011-12 budget. Total full time employees (FTE) are increasing 173, including 161 teachers. This is largely due to the expiration of the Federal JOBS program of $7.9 million that was used as a one-shot revenue to balance the budget for the current year as well as positions added after the 2011-12 budget was adopted. 2012-13 Budget Summary of Changes (in millions) 2012-13 Budget $780.0 2011-12 Budget $756.8 Increase $23.2 Major Expenditure Category Changes: Increases/(Decreases) from 2011-12 Debt Service for JSCB Phase V $16.0 One-time payment for NYS Retirement Incentive (12.8) Compensation (primarily teachers and white collar) 14.4 Employee and Retiree Fringe Benefits 8.8 All Others (3.2) Total $23.2 Enrollment: The current year PK-12 District enrollment totals 32,816 and is projected to decline to 32,291. 89% of the District’s students are considered economically disadvantaged. Charter enrollment is expected to be 7,267 for 16 schools. Page 1 of 71

Given that the District is 81% dependent on state aid and has no authority to raise its own revenue, cuts in aid put tremendous stress on the budget. While State aid to Buffalo increased $31.4 million as part of the State’s adopted budget, the District is receiving $135.7 million less in Foundation Aid after the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) than had been originally promised as part of former Governor Spitzer’s Educational Investment Plan which was abandoned after the first year. The GEA is an amount the State deducts from education aid to balance its own budget. It is also important to understand that of the $31.4 million aid increase, only $11.3 million is available to truly fund operations. The remaining aid increase is for expense based aids and will be used to pay for increases in the related costs. As stated, the State funds 81% of the General Fund budget. The City contribution has not increased since 2006-07 and represents 9% of the budget. County Sales Tax and all other revenues make up 5% each. Maintenance of Effort Budget Deficit As of April 2012, the District’s projected 2012-13 budget deficit totaled $35.1 million due to increases above the 2011-12 budget of expenditures totaling $38.7 million and only $3.6 million in revenues. The annual structural deficit totaled $19.4 million and comprised of increases in health insurance ($4.7m), annual salary increases guaranteed by contract or law ($6.1m), charter school tuition ($4.4m), and pension contributions ($4.2m). Additionally impacting the deficit is the Federal JOBS program, a onetime grant in 2011-12 that funded 101 positions and $7.9 million in salaries and benefits. These salaries and positions are assumed to come back to the General fund for 2012-13. Page 2 of 71
  • 5. Closing the Deficit Through diligence, great collaboration and assistance from external entities, the District closed the deficit. The details of the deficit closing measures follows: 2012-13 DEFICIT REDUCTION AND INVESTMENT PLAN ($$$ in millions) Deficit to be closed as of April 16, 2012 $35.1 Use of Unassigned Fund Balance (15.0) Remaining Deficit to be closed $20.1 The following actions were taken to close the $20.1 million deficit: INVESTMENTS: FTE $$$ Additional teachers for English Language Learners 6.6 .50 Additional Social Workers as part of Suspension Reduction Plan 7.0 .53 Grade 7 teachers (5) and Assistant Principal (1) at School 97 as they expand to Grade 7 6.0 .48 Additional classroom teachers to place Pinnacle Charter School students in the District 24 1.80 Subtotal (Increased Deficit) 43.6 $3.31 DEFICIT REDUCTION ACTIONS: FTE $$$ FACILITIES Close swing schools 51 and 56 and offices at school 70 (move these to School 28) by September 30 1.0 .84 Close schools 40 and 44 and combine into School 8 (9-12 by Sept; 7-8 by Dec; K-6 elsewhere) 1.0 .57 Close swing school 4 in the spring of 2013 .09 Swing school 171 will be shut down for non-use in the spring of 2013 .05 Facilities Rental and Day Care Lease (Revenue) .07 Subtotal (Decreased Deficit) 2.0 $1.62 Page 3 of 71

  • 7. It is important to remember that a budget is an estimate. The budget process includes making reasonable assumptions and estimates that allow the District to achieve its goals while protecting against budget deficits. Adjustments can be made at a later date if significant changes to the estimates or assumptions occur. The 2012‐13 General Fund Budget is based on the following baseline assumptions:  Revenues:  State aid is based on Adopted State Budget  The City will not change funding from the current level  $15 million of Unassigned Fund Balance will be appropriated to help balance the budget  $4.5 million of Assigned Fund Balance will be appropriated to balance the budget  Sales tax receipts will increase 6.0% ($2 million) based on the trend and regional projections Expenditures:  Single salary step increment is included for 2012-13; no other pay raises for the upcoming year except for those in current collective bargaining agreements  Charter tuition will be frozen at 2010-11 per pupil amount  One new charter school will open that will enroll 162 Buffalo resident students  The Pinnacle Charter School will close and the District will budget 24 classroom teachers to absorb approximately 520 students (risk)  District will not be forced to change its current health insurance plan  The Contract for Excellence set-aside will total $13.6 million and will fund ELL programs, Guidance Counselors for the Student Support Teams and Social Workers  Federal JOBS program that funded 101 positions expires June 30, 2012 and those positions are absorbed back into the General Fund  The early retirement incentive passed by the Board of Education may help mitigate layoffs and/or reduce costs   District administration will continue to work with school staff to change bell times, to gain efficiencies and significant savings in transportation costs   Efficiency recommendations from Say Yes may be incorporated at a later date to redirect expenditures to fund other priority programs          Page 5 of 71
  • 8. Risks:   Pinnacle Charter School has engaged in a legal battle with the Board of Regents to remain open   Based on legislation adopted in the State budget, 2012‐13 state aid increases totaling $33.4 million for the general fund are  at risk if the District does not obtain the State Education Commissioner’s approval by January 17, 2013 on a new teacher and principal evaluation system. This aid loss is on top of any losses for potential supplemental grants. The Districts  administration continues to work diligently on an evaluation plan approvable by the State and that the District’s unions will sign off on  The District is often at the mercy of actions taken by external parties including our unions and the State of New York. This was evidenced in the 2011-12 fiscal year with the ongoing dispute between the Buffalo Teachers Federation and the Commissioner of Education. Despite this verity, the District must adopt a budget that is timely and uses the best assumptions available at the time. That being said, to mitigate the impact of the identified risks, the District’s administration will continue to identify cost saving measures and if necessary, consider a freeze on expenditures.     2012‐13 General Fund Budget and Full Time Equivalents by Functional Area:  Debt Servive &  Transfers Out 17% Teaching ‐ Regular  Instruction 17% Fringe Benefits ‐ Employees 14% Teaching ‐ Students  with Disabilities 13% Charter Schools 12% Retiree Health  Insurance 8% Central  Services 7% Instruction‐Admin &  Improvements 3% Pupil Services 1% General Support 1% Instructional Media 1% Other 6% 2012‐13 Budgeted Expenditures (In Millions) Special Items 0% Pupil Transportation 6% Teaching ‐ Regular  Instruction 49% Teaching ‐ Students with  Disabilities 31% Central  Services 7% Instruction‐ Admin &  Improvements 7% General Support 2% Pupil Services 2% Pupil Transportation 1% Instructional  Media 1% Charter Schools 0% Full Time Employees ‐ Total of 4,134 Page 6 of 71

The four major drivers are annual salary increments (steps) that are guaranteed by law even when after contracts expire, pension rates set by the New York State pension systems, health insurance for both employees and retirees and charter school tuition payments. On an annual basis these deficit drivers comprise approximately 80% of the deficit. All of these costs are primarily beyond the control of the District. In the case of annual step increases, absent new collective bargaining agreements, they continue at a rate of approximately 2.5% for teachers and administrators based on the Taylor Law and Triborough Amendment. Those two contracts expired in 2004, yet employees continue to receive the annual salary increments and enjoy the rich benefits negotiated decades ago. Legislative action is needed to address these annual cost increases.     Four Year Financial Plan:    While closing the operating deficit was accomplished without wide spread layoffs and elimination of vital services to students, the out year gaps present a significant challenge to the District. With limited increases in State aid, no increases in aid from the City and continual increases in the structural deficit drivers, sweeping and devastating reductions to close the deficits will be unavoidable.     2013‐14(1)   2014‐15(1)   2015‐16(1)   Budget Deficits Projected as of April 16, 2012  (40.7)  (45.7)  (56.2)    (1) Assumes Foundation Aid grows 3% annually  Structural Deficit Drivers:  Annual Projected Increases  ($$$ in millions) Page 7 of 71
