UNIFORM BUDGETING AND ACCOUNTING ACT • Michigan Compiled Law Section 141.434 • Section 17 and Section 19 explain the requirement to provide revenue estimates that do not exceed actual collection and expenditure estimates that do exceed actual disbursements. • The law also states that a violation to Section 17 or Section 19 by the chief administrative officer will be reported to the state treasurer and the attorney general at which time the attorney general or prosecuting attorney may institute a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery of funds that have been illegally expended or collected.

  23. SAS Budget Reduction Guiding Principles • Revenue enhancement is preferred over expenditure reduction • Reductions that will be considered are those that have: • Least adverse effect on instructional program • Least adverse effect on co-curricular activities • Least amount of loss in Schools of Choice students • Lowest class sizes possible with priority to lower elementary level • Reversibility in an improving financial climate • All budget expenditures will be examined

  24. Highlights of Governor’s Proposed Budget • Intent Language requiring full day kindergarten for full foundation allowance • Foundation Allowance remains $6,846, cut by $470 • At-Risk Funds Remain (Sparta = over $500,000) • Increases Retirement Rate for 13-14 to 31.21%

  25. Highlights of Governor’s Proposed Budget • Best Practices Money Set Aside (must meet 5 of 6 requirements to receive funds): • Allow Schools of Choice • Assess Student Growth in each subject area at least twice a year using competency based online assessments and reports results to students and parents • Supports opportunities for students to receive postsecondary credits while in high school (dual enrollment) • Must offer online instructional programs or blended learning opportunities and notify students and parents of opportunities • Must put dashboard on website • Must be the policy holder for health insurance policies
