  26. LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE

  27. Times are Good When…. • Enrollment grows • Programs expand • Salaries increase • Districts have money to innovate

  28. Times are Challenging When …. • Enrollment declines -- HUSD projects its enrollment to decline by approx. 150 students in THE CURRENT YEAR--FY 2008-2009 • Utilities go up & the revenue stream goes down -- The District utilities have risen 46 % since FY 04/05 -- District square footage has increased in FY 08/09 (More heating/cooling will be required) • State revenues are down -- The State of Arizona is projecting a revenue shortfall of approximately $3 billion dollars for FY 2009-2010

  29. What We Know….. Revenue/Expense Projections: FY 09/10 --Loss of Revenue—ADM Decline $600,000 est @ 150 students --Health Costs Will Rise $400,000 est @ 10% --Utilities Will Increase & Chg in Revenue Formula $100,000 minimum est INITIAL ESTIMATED SHORTFALL TO HUSD $1.1 Million est

  30. What We Don’t Know….. FOR 2009-10 • Receive 2% from State? $485,000 + • Sped/ELL ADM increase? $ +/- ? • Teacher Experience Index? $ +/- ? (Last year the District received $394,801 in funding. This amount is recalculated annually on a statewide average of all teachers in the State—therefore, may be adjusted plus or minus in FY 09/10) FOR CURRENT YEAR • Reduction of Current Budget $604,909 (This is a State of Arizona Legislative BudgetLimit issue, which may affect all districts in the State. Deadline for District notification is March 1, 2009)
