Governors Budget Proposal for 2012-13 Impacts to San Diego Unified 3
Governors Proposed Budget: Impacts to SDUSD Scenario Based on Successful Nov 2012 Tax Initiative: Flat Funding for K-12 Education Flat Funding is NOT a good budget for SDUSD Flat Revenues & Increasing Expenditures Result in an Increased General Fund Budget GAP (No COLA) Tax Initiative Revenues Used to Restore Cash Deferrals Flat Funding is NOT really Flat Elimination of Home-to-School Transportation Funding ($2.8 Mil) Elimination of Special Education Transportation Funding ($6.4 Mil) For a total of $9.2 Mil Loss of Transportation Funding 4
Governors Proposed Budget: Impacts to SDUSD Scenario Based on Unsuccessful November 2012 Tax Initiative : -$370 per ADA 2012-13 Mid Year Cuts estimated at $370 per ADA SDUSD ongoing cuts estimated at $40.5 Million Equivalent to approximately three weeks of school No tools yet to help districts implement mid year cuts Legislation needed or more Layoffs will be only solution This Scenario Required by San Diego County Office of Education and Recommended by School Services of CA 5
Governors Proposed Budget: Impacts to SDUSD Other Reductions/ Changes: No New Revenues No Funding for Transitional Kindergarten Programs Increased Categorical Flexibility through a Weighted Student Formula ( details to follow...) Cost Neutral or Funding Loss The Recent Decisions by the Supreme Court on RDAs further obfuscate the argument that CA Schools would see more Revenues if RDAs ceased to exist. The Governor has said these potential RDA revenues are factored into his Budget Proposal. 6
