C. SBAC Budget Reductions

SBAC - Work The Superintendent’s Budget Advisor Committee (SBAC) began its work with a goal of reducing the budget by $8.2M. Using staff’s list and adding their own thoughts, a $7.1M potential reduction list was in progress. The Committee had not completed nor taken action on this list prior to the Governors May revision. After the May Revise it was determined the necessary reductions would be $4.5M. The SBAC was given this new goal and completed its work with a recommendation for the Superintendent’s consideration. The SBAC took further action on $1M and prioritized that list, should more reductions be necessary. C1
