Governor’s Revise to the Proposed Revisions On May 14 th, the Governor released a preliminary May revision. Since then, the State budget gap has continued to grow another $3 billion to a $24 billion gap Additional cut to revenue limit A new cut to home-to-school transportation Combined losses of $1,214,000 to RUSD These additional cuts are not incorporated into the budget per SDCOE direction Legislators have to act on this and the Governor’s original proposal
Other Developments Health Benefit renewals are coming in lower than anticipated 2 nd half of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund has been announced by California Department of Education Ramona to receive an additional $523,000 in one-time funding Miscellaneous adjustments to Special Education revenues, insurance adjustment This is a normal process of budget changes; however, any changes are heightened due to the current economic crisis RUSD will get final worker’s compensation and property and liability insurance tomorrow, the day after the budget is passed

Looking Past Over $2.5 million of Federal dollars will be used in and to offset the new rounds of cuts The ending balance should provide a cushion for any additional unknown cuts to revenues In , with no changes occurring, and with the loss of federal funding, declining enrollment, and increased costs, additional budget cuts will be necessary
Still Have Uncertainties Enrollment How many students, what grades levels, and which schools will they attend Economy Revision of Approved Budget What are the flexibilities of the Governor’s new proposal? How will the Legislators react? How long will it take to come to a vote? Federal Stimulus Dollars Any more dollars or bailouts in the future?
