Forecast
Governor’s Budget 2010-11
For the current year, 2009-10, the Governor’s January Budget proposes no
change in revenue limit funding, with the deficit factor remaining at 18.355%
In 2010-11, the statutory cost of living adjustment (COLA) is negative 0.38%
and is fully “funded”
The deficit factor of 18.355% remains unchanged in the 2010-11 budget
In addition to the negative COLA and the continuation of the 18.355% deficit
factor, the Governor’s Budget proposes an ongoing targeted cut of $1.5
billion in 2010-11
$1.2 billion is aimed at “school district administrative costs”
$300 million assumed to follow from the “elimination of administrative
costs” via contracting out language
The Governor’s budget provides no specifics on how this will be
implemented
Budget Year Adjustments – Revenue Limit COLA
C-10
2009-10 fiscal year – no further cuts proposed
2010-11 fiscal year – “fully-funded” COLA; however, the COLA is -0.38%
This is looking like another unusual year for calculations
The funded rates for 2010-11:
District Type
2010-11 Statutory COLA
<0.38%>
All Elementary Districts
<$23>
All High School Districts
<$28>
All Unified Districts
<$24>
Administrative Cuts and Efficiencies
C-12
The Governor proposes cutting a total of $1.5 billion targeted as
“noninstructional,” or administrative costs at school districts and COEs
$1.2 billion ongoing reduction to revenue limit funded targeted at school
district central administration and $300 million attributable to
eliminating barriers related to contracting out for services
This would apply to all districts, regardless of the current level of
administrative spending or cuts made prior to 2010-11
Monitoring would occur through review of reported Standardized
Account Code Structure (SACS) data
The Governor has yet to share the specifics of the proposal, but if
the cut were to apply based on current revenue limit rates per ADA,
it would be as follows:
Elementary
High School
Unified
$191

How Much?
B-16
The Governor’s proposal is anticipated to impact OVSD by:
Fully funded -0.38% COLA x Projected 10-11 ADA
-$23 x 2412 = -$55,476
Proposed “central administration reduction”
-$191 x 2412 = -$460,692
TOTAL ADDITIONAL LOSS Above 1st Interim Projections = -$516,168
Next Steps
Balanced budget must be adopted by district prior to June 30, 2010
State Budget will most likely not be in place by then
Developing the budget requires:
Clarifying assumptions
How much revenue?
How will expenditures change?
Once the State Budget is adopted, the district makes adjustments to its
budget within 45 days
