Budgeting principles • Balanced budget – total revenues equal total expenditures • Build the reserve • Preliminary budget must conservatively forecast revenues, especially in a lean year like FY2009
Major changes from FY2008 • Major capital • State budget cuts • Carryover not budgeted as a revenue category • Choice and charter accounted for as an offset to revenue • State-approved budget format
Major changes – Major Cap • Went from $22.3M in FY08 to $16.9M in FY09 • … then back up to $25.9M • Good news – bond bill
Major changes – Budget Cuts • Four funds – Extra Time, Extra Time Reading, Teacher to Teacher Instructional Cadre, and Discipline Part 2 – have been eliminated • In their place, one fund – Student Success Block Grant – has been created and made part of the Consolidated Grant • In total, reduced $501,786 (aggregate) for Appoquinimink • This will impact instruction. We are minimizing the impact through setting priorities as part of the Consolidated Grant application • Tuition reimbursement (State funds) for teachers eliminated
Major changes from FY2008 • Carryover not budgeted as a revenue category • Choice and charter accounted for as an offset to revenue • State-approved budget format • Revenue (summary view) • Pulling out categories of expenditures
