  1. Impact of the State Adopted Budget Board Study Session March 9, 2009 Prepared by: Dr. Cathy Nichols-Washer Mr. Douglas Barge & Staff Y: Business Services/Budget/2009/10//Adopted/Meetings/B03-09-09/Template for Presentation B03-09-09

  2. Executive Summary • The State has adopted budget plans for the remainder of 2008/09 and all of 2009/10 • Does that mean all of the work is done at the State level • Probably not • The current State plan has more flexibility than we had seen in prior proposals • Our strategies will take advantage of these opportunities • We will develop strategies to maximize the use of the Federal stimulus resources when they arrive • Balancing the budget for 2009/10 will still require expenditure reductions of $9,450,332 • This is in addition to the cuts already approved by the Board • We must remain mindful of the structural balancing of our budget • The excessive use of one time solutions will be necessary i

  4. Introduction • On March 3, staff reported on the latest information coming to the District about the newly adopted State budget for the remainder of this year and all of next • Staff will report on the estimated impact to the Lodi Unified School District • An overall strategy is being developed for balancing the District’s budget over the coming months • The strategy will take advantage of both the State flexibility and Federal stimulus resources • Setting the stage this year will be critical to the financial success of the District now and into the future 1

  5. What Have We Done? • Withheld final apportionments for restricted (categorical) programs where possible • Placed COLA increases into reserve accounts pending final legislative reaction to the State’s fiscal crisis • Asked all site/departments to reduce spending • Began reviewing expenditures in much greater detail, questioning those that might be put off until later to preserve cash • Reviewing contract terms for changes that might help the District • Gathered massive amounts of community and employee input • The Superintendent’s Budget Advisory Committee is working on recommendations for the Superintendent 2
