The Role Of Flexibility And Federal Stimulus Funds 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
Major May Revision Proposals • The projected deficit is now $24.3 billion with the failure of the May 19 special election ballot measures and falling revenue projections. • This after $34 billion in cuts already with February Budget enactment
Proposition 98 • Proposition 98 establishes the minimum funding guarantee for K-12 and community colleges, based on formulas set in the State Constitution • The guarantee has dropped for both 2008-09 and 2009-10 because of the continued fall in state revenues • The Governor proposes to fund K-14 education at the newly calculated minimum level: • 2008-09 – $49.091 billion • 2009-10 – $50.407 billion
2008-09 Proposition 98 Guarantee CCC Reduction • $1.3 K-12 Billion Revenue Limit Cuts • $114 Million HPSG
The Lost Decade • The cuts sustained so far plus the May Revision's additional cuts erase almost a decade's worth of increased spending power for California schools • The last time California's per-pupil spending was at this level, adjusted for inflation, was 2000-01
2008-09 & 2009-10 Revenue Limit Reduction • Loss of revenue limit funding for 2008-09 $ 991,498 • Up from $400,000 in February • Loss of revenue limit funding for 2009-10 $ 830,505 • Could be $280,000 more • Loss of revenue for declining enrollment $ 524,161 • 2 year total loss of revenue $2,346,164 • Balanced with $1.5 million in expenditure reductions and $1 million in stimulus funds
Categorical Funding Overview • With more than a billion dollars already cut from categoricals in 2008-09 and 2009-10, the Governor has stayed away from making proposals for further across-the-board cuts • However, there are a few programs that are proposed for significant reduction or elimination: • Home-to-School Transportation – reduced by 65% • Loss of $558,524 for DPOLJUSD not in proposed budget
The Value Of Added Flexibility • Flexibility is like adding sugar to medicine – it may make it easier to handle, but side effects are unchanged • Given the magnitude of the additional cuts, additional flexibility is helpful, but not sufficient to soften the blow of the cuts • Flexibility cannot restore funding cuts • Cuts have already happened, and we must continue to avoid cuts in those areas where we have worked hardest to invest time, energy, and resources in recent years • We have established Professional Learning Communities through training and support and we don’t want to lose this • 80% of program requirements no longer apply to funding • As a result Board and District Priorities should now determine spending
The ARRA Program Details • Much more is known now than in February, but there are many outstanding issues that are yet to be resolved • Just as the state has treated this funding as part of its Budget-balancing solution, so should LEAs • State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) dollars will be necessary to offset cuts • Title I funds for many LEAs will be needed to offset reductions in base grants • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding will be needed to help control local contributions
Approve the Budget? • Do we have adequate reserves?Yes • Are we deficit spending?No • It is a budget. Are our estimates reasonable?Yes • Can we sustain in MYP?Yes • If so, then you can confidently approve this budget.
