Indiana University CEEP - Changes In Indiana School Funding (2015-2017 Biennium) 5-1-15

This analysis gives an excellent breakdown of Indiana schools funding (by school) and enrollment projections through 2017.  The data was provided by the schools to the state and downloaded by IU CEEP from the Indiana House Republicans on 5/1/15.

Items of note:

  • Total NCP enrollment for 2014 consisted of 757 Rockville students (59.6% of NCP total) and 514 Turkey Run students (40.4% of NCP total). We expect to see further declines in enrollment when the 2015 student count is taken later this month. (From NCP Consolidation Posting 9/18/15 above.)
    • CEEP NCP enrollment projections: 2015 - 1262, 2016 - 1276, 2017 - 1270 +.6%
    • CEEP North Vermillion projections: 2015 - 712, 2016 - 681, 2017 - 666 -6.5%
    • CEEP Attica projections:                  2015 - 753, 2016 - 729, 2017 - 704 -6.5%

Turkey Run School Corporation contributed $1,528,693.00 and Rockville Community Schools contributed $432,282.00.....  (From NCP Consolidation Posting 9/18/15 above.)
    • CEEP annual state funding projections to each school: Rockville $5,074,171 - Turkey Run $3,445,342.  (Rockville bringing in $1,628,829 more state funding annually to NCP.)
  • NCP state funding per child is scheduled to increase from $6,703 To $6,891 ($188 increase) 2015-2017.
  • NCPCS CAPITAL DEBT (PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST) OUTSTANDING AS OF JULY 1, 2015 CAPITAL DEBT ISSUE YEAR RETIRED TOTAL PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST AS OF 6/1/2015 (From NCP Facility Utilization Executive Study - NCP Website)

The missing link to all of this is each school's expenses and cash flow.


NCP Consolidation/Parent Portals

By: Jana Crites

North Central Parke Community Schools has created two new response portals to allow parents, community members, and interested patrons to provide input to the Board of School Trustees.

The first portal is to allow you to make comments, ask questions, offer opinions, etc. about school consolidation.  You can find the link to the portal by navigating to the Corporation section on the left side of this webpage and clicking on NCP Consolidation Community Input form.  Any comments you make will be viewed by the board of trustees members.  Your input will give them additional information to help support a decision about the future of the school corporation.

The second portal is a link to allow you to provide comments, and suggestions about any aspect of North Central Parke Schools.  You can also find this link in the Corporation section on the left side of this webpage and clicking on the NCP Parent/Community Portal.  The administration and board members will view your comments and follow up as needed to address your concern.
