What Does it Mean for Our District?
Freeze on all non-essential expenses to preserve fund balance
Impact of eliminating deferred maintenance funding by $28,000
Impact of reducing RRM funding - $165,416
Ending fund balance – where do we stand relative to requirements?
No COLA - still have the following costs:
Fixed costs – electricity, gas, water, sewer, insurance
Step and column

Adopting the Budget
Balanced budget must be adopted by district prior to June 30, 2009
State Budget will most likely not be in place by then
Developing the budget requires:
Clarifying assumptions
How much revenue?
What flexibility options will be acted upon?
How will expenditures change?
Once the State Budget is adopted, the district makes adjustments to its
budget within 45 days
7
Next Steps
Make necessary adjustments at Second Interim:
Eliminate 0.68% COLA
Reduce Revenue Limit additional 4.567%
Eliminate Deferred Maintenance Match
Set aside unallocated State categorical funds
Prepare Multi-Year Projections based on what we know now
Begin building budget for 2009-10 based on what we know now
Review seniority lists for accuracy
