Culpeper County Public Schools completed the program in 2006 and were alerted to a total net savings of $333,719 for the 2006-2007 fiscal year. “It worked very well for us,” said Culpeper Schools Public Information Officer Marla McKenna, “We were able to identify areas where we could save money.’'
McKenna also said that the school has not had to pay any cost for their review, as they are still implementing recommendations.
According to the program’s website, a participating school is required to pay a portion of the cost of the efficiency review. According to the program’s website, that cost usually starts at $20,000. Chappell stated afterwards that he will probably seek donations to minimize the cost to the school.
Once the report is finished, a participating school is required by the DMP to initiate at least 50 percent of the recommendations within two years, or pay an additional 25 percent of the cost of the review.
The review typically takes about four to five months to complete. The report is then presented to the School Board and the Superintendent for consideration.
Chappell admitted that the review will not be finished in time for the current budget, but stated that he plans to enroll the school into the program in time for a Fall 2007 review. Chappell’s proposal to continue looking at the program was unanimously approved by the School Board.
