5. FY13-14: Challenges • Federal budget expected to be lower next year than this year • Funding for federal programs is determined by using the most recent population and poverty counts of children residing in each jurisdiction, as determined by the by U.S. Census. • The amount of funding each district receives is influenced by the change in the poverty level in each district as compared to the change in poverty levels of the entire nation; thus, a rise in poverty levels in non-urban school districts would result in a reduction in the amount of funding in urban areas as the same amount of national funding must be shared with a larger number of districts. • Funding notification from RIDE typically occurs in March or April of each year • Fourteen (14) more schools identified as being in need of intervention • Staffing: Over reliance on federal funding for administrative positions • Sequestration: The automatic across-the-board cuts for most federal programs and activities have been delayed for two months • The mini-deal between Congress and the Administration resolves many of the tax portions of the Fiscal Cliff, but delays the spending cut portions of the Fiscal Cliff for another two months. • 8.2% projected cuts in education across all titled funds , but delayed to take effect until the FY13-14 year.
