  1. Proposed Budget 2010-2011 June 14, 2010 Prepared by the Business Office

  2. National Economy • The U.S. economy is no longer in decline, but is growing slowly • The recession began in December 2007, 29 months ago • U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 3.2% in the first quarter of 2010 • 162,000 jobs were added in March (unrevised survey) • But the unemployment rate has remained high • The April 2010 rate was 9.9%, up from 8.9% one year ago

  4. 1-10 California Economy • The state’s economy is recovering along with the nation’s • State personal income grew at 4.1% and taxable sales grew at 1.9% in the 4th quarter of 2009, according to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Forecast • However, job growth remains a major drag on the economy • California added only 2,800 jobs in February and 4,200 jobs in March • If California had shared in the 162,000 U.S. jobs added in March, our proportionate gain would have been more than 16,000 jobs • The state’s unemployment rate, at 12.6%, is the third highest in the nation

  8. 1-3 Overview of the State Budget • Education fares better than the rest of the Budget • The rest of the Budget is absorbing even heavier cuts in order to protect education from deeper cuts • But there is no “free ride” – the nearly $2.5 billion taken from education in January remains unrestored • Child care takes a huge cut • Social and health programs that serve K-12 students and their families are hit even harder • California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs), which is California’s main avenue to welfare payments, is on the chopping block • The Budget reflects two major unresolved problems: • California’s finance system serves the state poorly in both good and bad times • The current economic woes remain unresolved

  9. 1-5 May Revision Features • For the most part, the May Revision contains no further cuts to K-12 education • Cuts proposed in January remain • Targeted proposed administrative cut is eliminated • Cuts to child care eliminate subsidized slots for 142,000 children • No new federal dollars • No new taxes are proposed • Major additional cuts to the noneducation portions of the Budget are proposed • We expect the Legislature to have great difficulty voting for the choices before them • Despite the Governor’s call for an on-time Budget, chances are slim

  10. Comparing the Forecasts – Income 1-11 Sources: 2010-11 Governor’s Budget, January 2010; 2010-11 May Revision, May 2010

  11. Comparing the Forecasts – Jobs Sources: 2010-11 Governor’s Budget, January 2010; 2010-11 May Revision, May 2010

  12. 1-17 General Fund Revenues • The state economy drives General Fund revenues through three major taxes: personal income tax, sales tax, and corporation tax • The collapse of the state and national economies has driven state tax revenues down, but signs of recovery are emerging • Revenues outperformed admittedly low projections from December 2009 through March 2010 • April 2010 collections fell short, but this was based largely on 2009 liabilities; revised revenues for 2009-10 are down $1.2 billion • Sales and corporate earnings are improving, bringing in more tax revenues than expected • The May Revision anticipates continuing improvement in revenues in 2010-11 • The forecast adds $2.1 billion for 2010-11 from the January projection

  13. 1-18 General Fund Revenues Source: 2010-11 May Revision, page 56

  14. 1-19 Risks to the Revised Budget Proposal • In January, we noted several major risks to the Governor’s Budget proposals: • Federal funds – no guarantee that $6.9 billion could be secured • Voter approval – required for fund shifts • Economy and revenues – the economy and revenues could underperform forecasts • Some of these risks have in fact materialized: • Only $3.4 billion in federal funds are expected to be received • Fund shifts requiring voter approval will not be placed on the ballot • Current-year revenues have fallen short by $1.6 billion

  15. Risks to the Revised Budget Proposal • The May Revision, if enacted as proposed, contains other – but equally significant – risks • Court challenges – rebenching Proposition 98, elimination of CalWORKs, state worker pay cuts, health care reductions, and other cuts could face court challenges • Late Budget – a late Budget would delay implementation of program reductions, resulting in the loss of budgeted savings • Economic and revenue risks – the state and national economies face the possibility of a “double dip” recession, especially in light of the turmoil in overseas economies • These risks in turn could threaten California’s access to the capital markets, pushing borrowing costs even higher

  16. General Fund Budget Summary • One year ago, the proposed reserve for 2009-10 was +$4.5 billion, a swing of more than$11 billion • The reserve equals 1.3%of projected revenues in 2010-11 • Revenues increase 5.7%in 2010-11, while expenditures drop 3.5% • The current-year fund balance deteriorated $1.4 billion since January Source: State Budget 2010-11

  17. 1-26 California Per-Student Spending Falls Far Below Average • According to the National Education Association’s (NEA) Rankings of the States 2009, as of 2008-09, California was 44th in per-student spending, falling from 34th in 2007-08 Source: Rankings of the States 2009 and Estimates of School Statistics 2010, National Education Association

  18. Revenue Limit Deficit Factors

  19. 2010-11 Deficit Applied and Cut • Apply the 2010-11 deficit of 18.355% to your undeficited revenue limit per ADA • Apply the 3.85% cut to the undeficited revenue limit per ADA $6,386 $6,386 Deficit Factor Reduction $1,172 (18.355%) $246 (3.85%)reduction 2010-11 Revenue Limit Funding Example for Average Unified District Funded revenue limit = $6,386 – ($6,386 x 0.18355 + $6,386 x 0.0385) = $6,386 – ($1,172 + $246) = $6,386 – $1,418 = $4,968 $4,968 2010-11 Revenue Limit Before Deficit 2010-11 Revenue Limit After Deficit and Cut

  20. 2-17 Special Education Issues • The mental health budget includes a proposal to suspend AB 3632 (Chapter 1747/1984), which mandates county mental health agencies to provide services to children with disabilities • The concern is that the fiscal burden will shift to school districts since they will continueto provide mental health services required by students’ Individualized Educational Programs

  21. 2-19 Pension Reform Legislation • SB 919 (Hollingsworth) would reform pensions for newly hired employees covered by the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) • School members first employed on or after the date the bill takes effect would be subject to a 2%-at-65 retirement formula, rather than the current 2%-at-55 formula • The bill would also permit districts that contract with PERS for health benefits to collectively bargain a different employer contribution for employee and annuitant health benefits coverage for those hired on or after the effective date of a memorandum of understanding • SB 919 was heard in its first policy committee on May 10, but no vote was taken

  22. 2-21 STRS Contribution Rates • State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS) had an unfunded actuarial obligation of $22.5 billion as of June 30, 2008 • But this does not reflect the 25% investment loss in fiscal year 2008-09 or the partial recovery this year • Investment earnings alone, projected at today’s lower rates, cannot close the shortfall • Instead, an approximate 14% increase in contributions will be required to amortize the shortfall over 30 years • The contribution increase could come from employers, employees, and/or the state • If employers alone were tapped, the employer contribution rate would exceed 22% (additional $47 million in expense) • Increasing the employer contribution rate would require legislation and none has been introduced

  23. 2-22 PERS Contribution Rates • Employer contribution rates are set by the PERS Board each May • The Board is expected to approve a rate of 10.707% on May 19 • Based on PERS’ previously provided multiyear contribution rate estimates and the Board’s subsequent approval of new actuarial assumptions expected to further increase the school employer contribution rate by about 0.5% of payroll, we estimate:

  24. 3-1 Flexibility Opportunities Continue • The flexibility options introduced in 2008-09 continue without changes • 42 Tier III flexible categorical programs • Including suspension of deferred maintenance match requirements and instructional materials adoption timelines • Relaxation of K-3 Class-Size Reduction (CSR) funding penalties • Lowering of reserve for economic uncertainty requirements • Shorter school year • The May Revision proposes no changes to existing flexibility – nor does it offer answers to questions about the future of flexibility • Tier III flexibility continues through 2012-13 • K-3 CSR funding penalties remain relaxed through 2011-12

  25. 3-2 The Legislative Analyst Office’s Report on Flexibility • The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) offers some recommendations to continue and expand flexibility • These proposals are not reflected in the May Revision, but may become part of legislative budget hearings • The LAO conducted a survey of all school districts • 231 school districts responded • Based on this survey, LAO concluded: • Flexibility helped districts develop and balance their budgets and focus scarce resources more strategically • Most decisions to shift funds were done to redirect funding from non-instructional to instructional areas • The majority reported that they would like to have additional programs added to the list of flexible programs

  26. 3-3 The Legislative Analyst Office’s Report on Flexibility • LAO’s recommendations: • Add K-3 CSR, Home-to-School Transportation, and After School Education and Safety to Tier III • Consolidate Economic Impact Aid (EIA) with English Language Acquisition Program • Consolidate Career Technical Education programs • Ease or remove state restrictions for: • Contracting out for noninstructional services • Hiring/pay rate for laid-off teachers serving as substitutes • Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) requirements The report can be found at www.lao.ca.gov

  27. 3-22 Other Federal Issues • Congress has proposed and the President is now supporting provisions that were in the “Keep Our Educators Working Act” • $23 billion to help states retain and hire teachers and other school staff members • Economic experts (including Nobel Laureate, Paul Krugman) have called for more investment in education • The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) continues to be overdue • In spite of expectations that RTTT and other ARRA-related measures signaled the future direction for ESEA, no legislation has been released

  28. State’s Cash Problem Became Our Problem • On Wednesday, June 2, 2010 State Controller John Chiang sent a letter and chart to the Governor and Legislative leaders, advising them of his latest cash projections based on actual numbers through April and the Governor’s May Revision budget proposal. • “The State’s ability to meet its payment obligations during the next three months is entirely owed to two factors: • Legislation enacted earlier this spring that allowed the deferral ofapproximately $4.7 billion of payments to K-12 education, higher education, and local governments; and • The continued reliance on borrowing as much as $20 billion from special funds.”

  29. Cash Deferrals of 2009-2010 State Apportionment Impact to LBUSD Amount deferred within FY 2009-2010 = $ 48,626,592 * Amount deferred to FY 2010-2011 = $101,450,731

  30. Cash Deferrals of 2010-2011 State Apportionment Impact to LBUSD Amount deferred within FY 2010-11 = $ 54,184,566 * Amount deferred to FY 2011-12 = $131,591,086
