FY15 Operational Fund Budget Summary A total of $7.6M in new budget priorities were added in FY15: $1.4M for investments and new initiatives including the K-8 Academy, Sandia IB Program Expansion, Office of Innovation, etc. $3.5M for unfunded mandates to support increased requirements from PED including additional Assistant Principals and Testing Coordinators for schools. $2.2M for post recession recovery including school support, social workers, counselors, custodians and other items. $.5M for compensation and other requests including a tier increase for teachers. -Budgeted expenditures exceeded budgeted revenues by $5.3M, cash reserves were used to fill the gap. -An additional $1.1M in cash reserves was used at the beginning of the fiscal year, increasing the estimated budget shortfall to $6.4M.
OPERATING SURPLUS/(SHORTFALL) TREND The existing $6.4M shortfall will come off the top of any “new” revenues in FY16 unless we manage current year expenditure levels.
Expenditures increased on average 3% annually from FY13 to FY15, while enrollment has continued to decline at a rate of .7% annually. Estimated expenditures in FY15 are on track to equal those in FY10 with ~1,200 less students to sustain the same level of expenditures.
Current SEG Outlook The February consensus revenue estimate is $83M in New State Funding. This would mean an increase of approximately $9.0M to APS.
