  1. Galena Park ISD Budget Presentation D P A C May 24, 2011

  2. Today’s Discussion • Provide a broad overview of the status of school funding in the legislature • Look at the District’s 2011-2012 initial budget projections from a current law perspective • Look at timelines • Legislative action on budget • GPISD budget consideration and adoption

  3. All Eyes on Austin • The level of public school funding for the next biennium currently rests with the Legislature

  4. Appropriations Bill - HB 1 • House version passed on 4/3/2011 by a vote largely along party lines: 98 yeas, 49 nays, 2 present not voting. • Senate passed its version on 5/4/2011 by a vote also mostly along party lines: 19 yeas, 12 nays.

  5. Impact of The Bills • Funding reductions in the House version of HB1 have been described by some observers as “Draconian” • Senate version reduces funding for public education, but not as significantly as the House version

  6. Appropriations and School Finance Bills • The Appropriations Bills determine the level of funding • The School Finance Bills will determine how the appropriated funding will be distributed • HB 2485 by Hochberg • SB 22 by Shapiro • The above are the two bills that currently are receiving the most discussion • Legislative deadlines are here or rapidly approaching

  7. Two Key Factors to Watch • Amount of the reduction in funding for public education that will emerge from the Conference Committee • Method for allocating the reduction to the individual public school districts across the State

  8. GPISD 2011-2012 Budget Projections - Current Law • Pro-active leadership by our Board of Trustees and Superintendent has put us in a position to be close to a “breakeven” for 2011-2012 under current law • Reduced 100 positions through voluntary attrition • Reductions in non-payroll budgets

  9. Legislative Timelines • May 24 - the last day the House can consider senate bills on second reading • May 29 - the deadline for the House to adopt conference committee reports • May 30 - the last day of the regular session

  10. GPISD Timelines • We hope, based on the Legislative timeline, that we will have information at the Board’s June meeting on state funding • If a Special Session becomes reality, we could be looking at a scenario where GPISD will need to adopt a budget before we know the level of state funding
