In February 1993 the Buffalo Financial Plan Commission was asked to conduct a financial and management assessment of the Buffalo (New York) public schools. The effort involved the work of 115 volunteers from 75 businesses and community organizations in the Buffalo area. Thirty-four recommendations were produced, which were expected to yield annual savings ranging from $15.7 million in 1995-96 to $44.3 million in 1999-2000 with: (1) no curtailment of academic programs; (2) no increase in class size; (3) no reduction in extracurricular or interscholastic athletic programs; and (4) no reduction in special education or remedial instruction. Buffalo is one of the poorest cities in the United States, with 21.7 percent of its families below the poverty level. The Commission found that more effective resource allocation could reduce the district's overall costs and that the cost of employee benefits could be reduced significantly. Noninstructional costs were targeted for reduction, and the implementation of up-to-date management information and financial reporting systems was essential to the recommendations. Appendix A lists Commission members and staff, and Appendix B summarizes the recommendations. (Contains 13 tables.) (SLD)
