Introduction • On the morning of February 19, 2009, the State Legislature finally adopted a budget plan covering the next eighteen months • The plan covers 2008/09 and 2009/10 • It calls for tax increases to provide more revenues for the State, borrowing, and budget cuts • But before we get too excited: • The voters will be given a say • Combining both State and Federal resources will be difficult with the number of unknowns still remaining 1
Resources for the State • $14.4 B in “Temporary” (24 months) revenues • Increase sales tax by one (1) cent • Increase Vehicle License Fee to 1.00% • Increase State income tax by 0.25% • Reduction of the dependent care tax credit • Income tax surcharge of 2.50% • Could be extended to 2012/13 if voters approve spending cap change • Special election is scheduled for May 19, 2009 2
State Borrowing • $6 B in Revenue Anticipation Warrants (RAW) • Three conditions must exist to sell RAWs • The State must have a sustainable, balanced budget with all required statutory changes enacted prior to selling the RAWs • The must have a plausible plan for repaying the RAWs in the subsequent year • There will have to be legislation enacted prior to the sale of the RAWs that protects the RAW holders • $5 B from Lottery securitization • $0.4B Transfers and loans from special funds 3
Education Cuts for 2008/09 • Reduces current year Prop 98 appropriation • Program reductions $2.3 B • Previously funded COLA (.68%) • Remaining • Half Revenue Limit • Half Categorical Programs 4

Unrestricted Support Title I Flexibility Federal Stimulus How much will be available to help District directly? Special Education • Lots of questions • How much? • When will it arrive? • Is there flexibility? • What kind of projects? • Can we reduce District support to Special Ed.? • Can we use dollars to help with class sizes? • Can we use Title I to help with class sizes? Title I School Improvement Grant State Bailout Federal Funding * No School Renovation, Repair resources per SI&A 18
Creating Capacity • Capacity is the ability to retain staff and programs • Categorical capacity may be possible after considering the impact of the reductions in Tier III • Where is there other capacity: • JAESC Reductions Funded with Categorical Resources • Deferred and Routine Restricted Maintenance • Federal Support for Special Education • Title I – New Federal Dollars • Prior Year Sweeps • K-3 Class Size Reduction Penalties 19
Addressing Suggestions • The Food Service Program lives within its income subventions • Cutting the program would cause a loss of revenues to the General Fund making our problem worse • Reducing the number school days below 180 days would be catastrophic financially • According to the California Department of Education, Education Code requires that a penalty be applied to the State funding allocations for a drop in days from 180 to 175 • If the drop in days continued into the next year there would be a total loss of State funding • Any drop below 175 days would cause a total loss of State funding • The Bridge Program is a voter approved State program • This program will not help the District financial situation if the program were eliminated • Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) results from a settlement of a lawsuit between CTA and the State • If the District choose to remove itself from the program 100% of the State funding would have to be returned 20
Closing Remarks • The next step in the process is to calculate the impact of the new State budget plan on our District • Examine the use of the flexibility options provided • See how the Federal flexibility folds into a strategy for building a balance budget • Rolling that strategy into our process and timelines • We expect to bring that work back to the Board at the next study session • Finally, cash flow is still a problem 21
