Western Montana Coll., Dillon. Montana Rural Education Center.
This report presents data on enrollments, budgets, levies, costs per pupil, and teacher and staff salaries in Montana's smallest (Class "C") school districts for 2002-03. Class C indicates high school enrollment of 130 students or less. Surveys were received from 69 of 93 public schools and 1 of 5 nonpublic schools in the category. The range of Class C enrollments was 40-243 (average 119) in elementary schools, 22-120 (average 68) in high schools, and 26-363 (average 145) in K-12 schools. Cost per pupil to the general fund budget without special education averaged $4,182 in elementary schools, $7,296 in high schools, and $6,006 in K-12 districts. The pupil/teacher ratio averaged 11.1 in elementary schools, 7.6 in high schools, and 7.9 in K-12 districts. Teacher salaries averaged $28,792. Data tables provide the following information for each responding school: enrollment; taxable valuation (total and per pupil); general fund budget without special education (total and per pupil); general fund reserve as percentage of general fund; guaranteed tax base per mill; over base budget and levy mills required; special education budget and FTE personnel; transportation budget and cost per pupil; teacher salaries as percentage of total general fund; teacher/enrollment ratio; and teacher salaries (base, average, and highest). Summary tables present minimum and maximum wages for school staff and salaries for extra duty items. Appendix details individual school data on staff wages and extra duty payments.
