Student Based Budget Worksheet
 
 
When viewing the Student Based budget worksheet, notice the FTE and
average cost per position is calculated based on your projected student
enrollment. You may use your discretion when assigning positions.
 
1. Record the total annual hours for each type of position in the
“annual hours” column. Your current staffing can be obtained by
viewing the DCSD Staffing Report off of your G/L. (You may need
to combine hours for multiple positions.) This will populate the
FTE and average cost of each position. (FTE is calculated by
dividng the employee’s total annual hours by 2088.)
 
2. Record the annual hours in the “District Allocation” section for the
following positions:
a. Campus Monitor(s)
b. Health Assistant
c. Special Services Education Assistants
d. Volunteer Coordinator
e. The Custodian staffing will be maintained in O&M
 
3. Record the annual hours in the “Other Funding Sources” section
for the following:
a. Planning Grant
b. Additional Growth
c. Level II staffing
d. Gifted and Talented funding
e. Etc.
 
4. Record any positions your site is funding through extra-curricular
dollars in the “Other Funding Sources” section.
 
5. Use all of your allocation before submitting to the Finance Office. t
In order to accomplish this, you may need to create vacant
positions.
 
6. Follow-up with Recommendation to Hire/Change of Status forms
for any positions you have adjusted.
 
 
Classified Substitute Allocation
 
 
Each school is given additional funds to use for classified
coverage or additional projects. The funds are based on your
site’s projected student enrollment multiplied by $4.17
Calculate an additional 13.95% for PERA and Medicare in the

substitute’s hourly rate.
 
Small School Factor
 
 
Cherry Valley, Alternative schools and new schools may be staffed
individually by positions, not by formula.
 
Classified Reassignments Due to Downsizing (DCFCE Contract
II.A.3)
 
 
When a circumstance results in a reduced number of positions for ci
employees at an existing site or department, current employees whose
positions will be eliminated will be offered a vacant position in the same
classification at the same rate of pay at another District location. The
District has no further obligation to an employee who does not accept the
offered position. Positions filled in this fashion will not be subject to the
posting requirement.
 
Reassignment Procedures
 
*
Notify HR of any staff reductions
*
Notify classified employee(s) of staff reductions as soon as
staffing numbers are firm.
*
If the employee has not secured a position by the end of their
current position, HR will offer the employee a vacant position
in the same classification.

they were worked.
