The number is $67,723,927
This is about $400,000 more than a flatline budget.
Add to this another $98,000 for a new collective bargaining agreement with the support staff union if this passes the voters.

As TRSD is reporting Average Daily Attendance of 3,756 students, this budget represents a cost per student of $18,030.86 to educate a child at Timberlane.
Does anyone think they are getting their money’s worth?
Here are some private school tuitions:
St. Thomas Aquinas: $10,100
Derryfield: $24,700
Liberty Harbor: $15,000
Pinkerton Academy: $10,800
Bishop Guertin: $12,250
Trinity: $8,971
Nashua Christian: 6,395

Mark,
Critics of this sort of comparison will say that none of these schools provide Special Education. Pinkerton certainly has Spec. Ed. I don’t know about private schools but I would imagine they, too, have to provide reading specialists, speech therapists, etc., though perhaps not autism or other more serious accommodations. I just don’t know.
Readers: Mr. Acciard is here using what I call the “gross per pupil cost: which is different from the state published per pupil cost. Gross per pupil cost takes the entire budget and divides it by the numbers of students which gives you a comparison with private school tuition, but not with the NH Dept of Education per pupil costs which does not include transportation and some other costs which may serve to undermine a fair comparison between school districts. I personally prefer the gross per pupil cost because it shows just how much is actually being spent per student and it is astonishing.
