In total state aid to the district will be 23% LESS than in the 2009-2010 school year.

    4. Expenditures 2010-2011 When a budget is being developed the Board of Education has to make many decisions before it presents the budget to the community for a vote. Consideration is given to staffing, class size, athletics, transportation, facilities, etc. when putting the budget together. Although all programs are reviewed, there are expenses that are driven by state mandates, contractual obligations, community programs, and necessity.

    5. Budget Impact The proposed 2010-2011 Budget is currently $956,713 LESS than the 2009-2010 Budget. The Governor has recommended that school districts not reduce their fund balance below 2% in anticipation of further state aid cuts in 2011-2012.
