BUDGET PLANNING
PLANNING for 2008
Review of Current Year
Governor’s State Budget Proposals
Projected 08/09 Budget
Reductions needed to maintain solvency
Timeline for implementation
Budget Prior to January
State’s Fiscal Woes
State budget shortfall projected to be $16 billion in
08/09
Revenues were overestimated; still growing by 2 3% but income tax, sales tax and corporate taxes
all lower than expected
Expenses were never reduced to reflect reduced
revenues
Structural deficit remains unless revenues increase
and/or expenses decrease
Steps State Has Taken
Governor informed Legislature of problem January 10th - presented his plan for recovery
Governor declared State of Fiscal Emergency required Legislature to act by February 23rd on
current year shortfall
Legislature enacted $2.3 B in current year
reductions- February 15th - unspent funds,
delaying payments and expense transfers
Still to Come...
Current year cuts averted but 08/09 shortfall has
yet to be addressed
Governor and Legislative Analyst Office have both
proposed reduction plans
Governor proposes “across the board” method
LAO proposes “targeted reductions” by priority
We must budget using proposal that provides the
least revenue so as to not experience a shortfall.
Impact of Governor’s State Budget Proposals
on SVUSD Revenue
Eliminate COLA (-4.94%) plus reduction in
funding (-2.05%) = -$12,569,058
Reduce Special Ed funding -$1,975,940
Reduced funding for other programs i.e.
Summer School, CSR, Transportation etc. $1,628,183
SVUSD also has less students -$2,400,000 and
cost increases -$726,819
TOTAL = -$19,300,000
Our Budget after State Reductions
Balanced Budget
A balanced budget is necessary for a school
district to maintain local control
In order for SVUSD to preserve its fiscal
status i.e. a district that can meet its
financial obligations for the current year
plus the following two years....reductions in
expenses are required.
For SVUSD $19,300,000 in reductions must
be made!
