The Use of Multiyear Projections • Multiyear projections (MYPs) are required by AB 1200/AB 2756 • Recognize that they are projections, not forecasts • Projections are expected to change as various factors change – they are not predictions • Projections are the mathematical result of today’s decisions based on a given set of assumptions • Forecasts are predictions of the future – there is a higher implied reliability factor than for projections • Projections will change anytime the underlying factors change – therefore plan
Approve The Budget? • Do we have adequate reserves? Yes • Are we deficit spending? Yes If so, is it planned? Yes • It is a budget. Are our estimates reasonable? Yes • Can we sustain in MYP? Yes with reductions for declining enrollment • If so, then you can confidently approve this budget.
