 No net reductions if the November 2012 Tax Incentive is supported by the voters  With the increased structural and inflationary expenses and the deficit covered by the contingency funds in , we will be looking at a deficit of $3,311,264.

 Mid-year reduction of 480 FTES $2,178,928 Resulting in a deficit that includes the cuts, the increase in structural and inflationary expenses, and the deficit covered by contingency funds in , of $5,490,192.

 In 2009 EVERY county voted against extending existing taxes  89% of voters believe that “there is a lot or some waste in government.”

Need to cut at least $1,130,551 from outside the classroom, IF there is a mid-year cut, if NOT then at least $215, 685 in order to preserve the 50% Rule More research is being done on what the factor should be for calculating this savings (calculated at $1701 per FTES) The impact of the change of the Census Date is not addressed
