  2. Tonight’s Discussion • Update on the Progress of the 2009-2010 Budget • Review Assumptions of the Budget Reduction Plan • Revised Assumptions • Flexibility • Federal Stimulus Dollars • May Revise

  3. Update for 2009-2010 • This is the April update of the 2009-2010 budget • Only looking at next year • Things will continue to change • Normal budget process • This year is not a normal year, and assumptions could change significantly due to the May/June budget revise • The Budget Reduction Plan, presented at the February 19th and March 9th board meetings, is still the basis for this budget

  4. What We Know • A State Approved Budget • COLA (1% reduction) • Categorical funding (15.4% reduction) • Flexibility of programs (Tiers I, II, III) • Formulated Budget Reduction Plan • Number of retirees (early retirement program) • FTE layoffs for both certificated and classified employees • Reduction of site and department allocations • Reduction in maintenance funding • May 19th Special Election • Federal Stimulus Dollars

  5. The Uncertainties • Enrollment • How many students, what grades levels, and which schools will they attend • Economy • May/June Revision of Approved Budget • What are the details of the Governor’s proposal? • How will the Legislators react? • How long will it take to come to a vote? • Federal Stimulus Dollars • State Fiscal Stabilization Funding

  6. Assumptions • Average Daily Attendance is based on 6,271, which is an estimate of the P2 for 2008-2009 • No carryover of site, departmental or categorical budgets -- which means there is no ending balance to move forward Therefore, for this report, we are looking at only the 2009-2010 revenues and corresponding expenses

  7. Assumptions • Budget Reduction Plan • Retirees not to be replaced -- Vacated positions have been removed from the budget.Retirees to be replaced -- Open positions are budgeted at lower salaries. • Incentives for the retirees are budgeted • FTE reductions due to layoffs and current open positions have been removed • Certificated and Classified • Elimination of 1 Teacher on Assignment at District Office • Elimination of unrestricted district textbook allotments to school sites • Reduction of 30% to site and department unrestricted allocations

  8. Assumptions • Budget Reduction Plan (Cont’d) • Class size reduction revenues (K-3) based upon 21:1 ratios • Elimination of 2 Administrative Leadership Team positions • Assistant Principal • Director of Transportation • Flexibility • Use of RHS categorical programs to fund one counselor • Routine Restricted Maintenance Account • State Deferred Maintenance Dollars • Supplemental/Summer School Hourly Programs • 9th Grade Class Size Reduction • Revenues generated by these programs are in the budgets, but expenses have been eliminated or reduced

  9. Assumptions • Revenues of other categorical programs have been reduced • Health and Welfare increase of $500,000 • Based upon preliminary discussions in the Insurance Committee • Reduction in interest revenues from $150,000 to $125,000 • Other Insurances • Workers Compensation and Property and Liability Insurance had slight decreases for 2009-2010 of approximately $25,000 based upon their preliminary notices

  10. Assumptions • Federal revenues based upon current year apportionments, and thus Federal Stimulus Dollars are not infused into the budget • Lottery based upon School Services of California, Inc. estimates are significantly lower

  11. 2009-2010 Preliminary Budget • Total Revenues $50,464,615 • Total Expenses $50,577,390 • Difference $ ( 112,775)

  12. Significant Changes • Revenues • Decrease in 9th Grade Class Size Reduction based upon 2007-2008 revenues • Increase in Supplemental/Summer School Hourly Programs based upon 2007-2008 revenues • Increase in Special Education • Decrease in Interest • Expenditures • Increases in revised PSU plans, summer school expenses

  13. Flexibility • The current enacted budget gives LEAs the ability to use categorical programs to backfill in for the cuts • RUSD plan for flexibility for 2008-2009 includes • Arts and Music Grants • District and Site Block Grant • Oral Health • Community Based English Language Tutoring (CBET) • School Safety Block Grant • Gifted and Talented Education • BTSA • Peer Assistance Review • Library Materials and Ed Technology Grant • Instructional Materials (IMFRP) • Routine Restricted Maintenance Account (RRMA)

  14. Flexibility • Flexed Categorical Programs • RUSD plan for flexibility for 2009-2010 includes • Instructional Materials (IMFRP) • Supplemental Hourly Programs and Summer School • Class Size Reduction Grade 9 • Adult Education • Deferred Maintenance • Routine Restricted Maintenance Account (RRMA) • Peer Assistance Review • Other categorical programs will run a scaled down version for the 2009-2010 school year • Public Hearing as part of the hearing for the budget in June

  15. Federal Stimulus Dollars • Three Sources of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act • Title-1, IDEA, and State Fiscal Stabilization Fund • Title-1 • $302,515 in one-time dollars for RUSD • 50% of this paid in May? • 50% of this paid in 2009-2010? • However, with the cash flow problems of the State, this allocation schedule could change • Will be distributed, under the current model, to current Title-1 schools • May be used for Title-1 allowed uses

  16. Federal Stimulus Dollars • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) • RUSD share is $1,494,000 in one-time funding • Allocation will be based upon North County SELPA funding formula • 50% of this funding can be used to reduce state and local contributions for Special Education, as long as it is used for activities which support Elementary and Secondary Education Act (previously known as No Child Left Behind) (NCLB) • Other 50% must remain in Special Education • Cash is earmarked to arrive in May and then in September, unless the State changes schedule

  17. Federal Stimulus Dollars • State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF) • $3.675 billion in this pot at the State level • Roughly 50% to restore K-12 Revenue Limit • Roughly 50% to restore categorical programs • RUSD Share of Cuts to K-12 Revenue Limits • $1,729,042 • Allocations to categorical programs are not yet available • School Services has reported this allocation to be smaller than originally projected • Uses are authorized under Elementary and Secondary Education Act and IDEA • Funding is very flexible

  18. Governor’s May Revise • With voters’ rejection of initiatives, the hole in the State budget has reached over $21 billion • On May 14th, the Governor released a preliminary May revision, with a more detailed version to be released on May 28th • Proposition 98 guarantee continues to fall, prompting additional severe cuts to education

  19. Governor’s May Revise • 2008-2009 Fiscal Year • $225 per ADA cut to revenue limits • 2009-2010 Fiscal Year • $19 per ADA cut to revenue limits • Carry over the 2008-2009 cut into 2009-2010 • $225 + $225 + $19 = $469 reduction per ADA • Consequence to RUSD over the two fiscal years is roughly $3,000,000 • The use of the State Stabilization (Federal) Dollars will be needed to backfill in the proposed cuts from the Governor’s proposal

  20. Summary of Current Developments • Proposed Estimated Cut $3,000,000 • Federal Stimulus Funding • Title 1 $ 0 • IDEA $ 747,000 • SFSF $1,729,000 • SFSF $ ?? • Total of known Federal $$ $2,476,000

  21. What’s Next • Refine Budget – This is a constant process • Look and update the assumptions • Review individual budget lines and program for accuracy • Flexibility programs • Details of the Governor’s May Revise • San Diego County Office of Education will give guidance on what to incorporate into the budget • Public Hearing and Board Adoption in June
