Ripon Unified School District Budget Essentials 2009 – 2010
State Revenue Limit is our largest funding source. We have lost over $1.4 Million in revenue limit funds this year!
We are a “people business” and salaries and benefits are our largest expenditure: 81% this year.
In all funding sources, we have lost over $1 million this year. The federal revenue category has increased with the federal stimulus funds.
We have significantly reduced salary expenditures due to retirements, furlough days, stipend suspensions and reductions and our few layoffs.
We are on dangerous ground with our undesignated ending balance very close to the minimum 3% by 2011 - 2012
Enrollment was up in 2008 – 09 by 59 students but ADA was only up by 29 so we did not get maximum benefit.
Survival Strategies2009 - 2012 • Use the federal stimulus funds wisely to hang on and build our capacity. • The budget assumes a reduction of 4.0 more FTE at the end of this fiscal year. Evaluate every vacant position for possible suspension / elimination. • Involve the community; ask for help and volunteers where needed. • Take advantage of categorical flexibility. • Watch cash flow carefully!

When it gets better;and it will get better • Reduce numbers of furlough days and restore commensurate employee compensation • Restore programs and services • Rebalance class sizes and re-implement K – 3 Class size reduction • Work towards our strategic plan goals
