  6. Budget Background • Budget reductions in 2008-09 totaled 1.9 million • Elimination of PLC’s • Elimination of P.E. Incentive Teachers • Supply, equipment and discretionary funds at D.O. and schools reduced • Eliminated staff development funding • Eliminated one cabinet level position • Reduced D.O. support personnel, counselor and night custodian hours • Reduced grounds and maintenance budgets

  7. Budget Background • The 2008-09 budget was further reduced by $450,000 in January 2009 with custodial layoffs • Budget reductions in 2009-10 totaled $1.8 million, and affected every area • Class size • Technology • Literacy program • Special Ed and DTT aides • Assessment • Salary/work year reductions for classified, confidential and management teams

  8. Budget Background • The adopted 2009-10 budget was based on the projections known in April and May • This budget made cuts required based on these projections – reductions, revenue sweeps, program elimination • Further reductions were made in July, specifically to the Base Revenue Limit (amount received per ADA) ~ (-$252/ADA) • Based on projected ADA of 6,009, this is an additional reduction of $1,514,268, for a total reduction of $4.0 million over 2008-09.

  9. Budget Background • All available flexibility options were implemented • $445,000 in categorical funds were transferred to the general fund • $627,000 in restricted ending balances were “swept” into the general fund • Federal stimulus money is being used to fund existing programs whenever possible • Salaries and Benefits are 89% of total budget

  10. Salary Adjustment History

  11. Salary Adjustment History ~ CSEA

  12. Salary Adjustments • Salary adjustments over the past 6 years have exceeded funded COLA by approximately 11% • Health and Welfare caps have also been increased • Funding for these increases was based on projected interest income when all 4 surplus sites were sold; Lamb & Wardlow sites have fallen out of escrow as of March 2010 • Implementation of raises was accelerated to move toward the mean anticipating the sale and close of escrow of all four surplus sites

  13. Reserve Fund • Sale of property funds deposited here • Goal for these funds has always been to supplement general fund revenue to provide an alternative source of revenue for the District • Similar to an endowment fund, which maintains principal and uses interest income as a revenue stream, like a parcel tax, only better • Special SAB approval was necessary to use funds in this manner, no longer legally possible

  14. Looking ForwardThe 2010 ~ 2011 Budget Year

  15. Economic Outlook • Broader U.S. economy may be turning corner • Consumer spending, home sales and stock market are all rising • Third quarter GDP rose 2.2% • California suffers from high unemployment • Construction and manufacturing sectors remain weak in the State

  16. Projected Recovery Time 8 years to return to pre-recession levels 1990 – 0% deficit 1994-96 – 12% deficit 2001 – 0% deficit

  17. 2010-11 State Budget • $19.9 B shortfall over two years – why? • State reserve has been expended • Lost budget reduction solutions • Increase in caseloads • Revenue declines • Adverse court decisions • Operating shortfalls

  18. Education Protected? • No 2009-10 mid year reductions, despite State budget deficits • CSR savings of $550 M are captured • Budget reduced in 2010-11 • Lower than proportional reductions for 2010-11 • $1.5 B in reductions for 2010-11 are away from classroom, targeted to central administration

  19. 2010-11 District Budget • Revenue limits reduced by (0.38%) or $23 per ADA - $142,000 for FVSD • The one-time $252/ADA 2009-10 reduction is restored • A new on-going targeted reduction estimated at $191/ADA to reduce central administration - $1.18 M for FVSD • Net Base Revenue Limit will rise by about $43/ADA • However, future years projections are significantly lower • Current proposal may be “best case” scenario

  20. 2010-11 Budget Assumptions

  21. Other Financial Factors in 2010-11 • ARRA funding of $1,059,400 from 2008-09 will be expended • ARRA funding for Special Education of $500,000 will be expended • The $191 reduction is on-going, impacting future years in the 3 year projection • The projected COLA in future years is lower than initial estimates, impacting future years in the 3 year projection • CSR reduced penalties expire in 2012-13, impacting the third year of the 3 year projection

  22. Other Financial Factors in 2010-11 • On-going deficit needs to be addressed • Based on the budget information available at this time, the goal should be to reduce at least $3 M from the 2010-11 budget. • Available funds to offset the deficit will be unavailable with the collapse of the Lamb/Wardlow sale • Future Fund 40 COP payments need to be taken into account and reserved • $1.0~$1.4 M per year for the next 10 years

  23. Proposed Budget Solutions

  24. Budget Approval • The budget must be adopted by the Board by June 30, 2010 • The budget is then reviewed by the Orange County Department of Education • The budget is either approved or returned for revision within legal timelines • To be approved, the District must show that it will be solvent for the budget year and two additional years • This requirement is why the District must make substantial cuts for 2010-11

  25. Budget Approval • The District has been deficit spending for several years • Some of the deficits are planned for • The District can no longer support the level of deficit spending • The reserve account (savings account) can not sustain the level of withdrawals for the next 3 years to maintain solvency • There must be expenditure reductions

  26. Reserve Fund (40) ProjectionIllustration

  27. Next Steps • Budget committee continues to meet and formulate recommendations • Specific budget reductions will be presented to the Board for consideration beginning in March • Ideas for budget solutions will be solicited from employees and community Information meetings for the public and employees will be held in March and April
