Things have changed!!! • Budget was based on the Governor’s May/June Revise- The actual State budget revisions were different. 08/09 budget was not revised- 09/10 budget took a bigger cut. • Federal Stimulus money had to be recognized in the 2008-09 budget. • Class Size Reduction rules have changed. • Our enrollment has increased approx. 60 students. • We have added teaching positions. • All employees who wanted to return were hired back. Some in different positions or hours. • Building fees continue to come in at a slow but steady pace. • The State is looking at a $7-14 billion dollar deficit. (Ok that really isn’t a change)
What is our process? • Nov. 17th- Focus on the 09/10 budget and the 1st Interim report. We will look at the organizational chart and programs we offer. • Dec. 10th- Brainstorm a preliminary list of items to look at for budget reductions or revenue enhancements. • January 14th- Develop Input gathering/ Communication to and from the Stakeholders. • February 11th- Analyze the input and develop a recommendation for the Board. • February 16th-March 9th- The Board will decide on the cuts.
