Function Screening

Given the fiscal constraints faced by the MMSD, a functional analysis of all district programs and activities is being conducted. All of the functions/subfunctions of the MMSD have been identified by department, division and unit. Each function/subfunction will be assigned to one of nine categories to develop a decision model which will assist the district in identifying those functions for potential reduction that would have the least negative impact on the overall quality of the Madison Metropolitan School District.

Listing of all Functions/Subfunctions

Each department and division submitted their own functions/subfunctions as the first step in the functional analysis. In most cases, subfunctions are composed of many work tasks, which are not shown. Because MSCR (Madison School-Community Recreation) is now funded through a separate revenue stream, their functions/subfunctions are not listed in this document.

Categories of Assignment for Functions/Subfunctions, Descriptors of Each & Examples of Screening Variables

The categories for assignment of the functions/subfunctions are listed below, with a brief description next to each. The bullets underneath each category are examples of the screening variables that will eventually be used to assess the impact of the function/subfunction on the operations and the quality of the operations of the school district. Each of the identified functions/subfunctions will ultimately be assigned to the one category that is most applicable.
