  3. WHY $820,561 IN REDUCTIONS? • (The Gap Between Revenues & Expenditures) • Revenue limits control the total amount of taxes and general state aid a school district can collect • This amount is allowed to increase annually by the CPI, the 2007 increase is 2.8% • State mandates and guidelines often limit the District’s ability to balance the budget

  4. FUTURE BUDGETS • As long as revenue limits are in place and expenses increase at a greater rate than revenues, the district will be facing a budget gap. • We expect to see continued reductions for the 2008-09 school year.
