Governor Vows to Protect Education!!! Education will take less than it’s share of pro-rata cuts in
Priorities Governor states that prison expenses will no longer be higher than higher education expenses, but speaks nothing about K-12 and the fact that it is next to dead last in funding in the Nation
GOOD NEWS!!! No Mid-Year cuts for !!! Decrease in Prop 98 offset by sweep of underutilized K-3 CSR funds
GOOD NEWS!!! FUNDED COLA for !!!
BUT WAIT, THIS GOOD NEWS DIDN’T LAST VERY LONG… If only it were real …the COLA is being ‘funded’ because it’s negative -.38% cut to the Revenue Limit
GOOD NEWS THAT DIDN’T LAST The previous COLA reported was.5% positive…a negative swing of.88% –Elementary - $109K –Secondary - $318K –Cherry Valley - $17K – TOTAL - $444K
COLA COLA re- benched to 1.8% from 2.4% - decrease –Elementary - $ 66K –Secondary - $182K –Cherry Valley - $ 10K – TOTAL - $258K Cumulative Loss for & = $1.15 Million
It feels good to be “Protected”…or does it? “Protected” doesn’t mean no new cuts
NO CUTS FOR THE ‘PROTECTED’ EDUCATION BUDGET ??? The one-time revenue limit cut of $ per ADA in is deleted for … BUT This is being replaced by another on-going cut …
NO CUTS FOR THE ‘PROTECTED’ EDUCATION BUDGET ??? The $1.5 B cut is to come from “District Administration” –$191 Elementary –$231 Secondary An additional loss of $1.5 M for the District This on-going additional cut won’t increase the revenue limit deficit factor – there’s no payback
NO CUTS FOR THE ‘PROTECTED’ EDUCATION BUDGET ??? No basis in reality for this figure Only gives the ‘ appearance ’ that the Governor is keeping cuts from the classroom Would eliminate 3 out of every 4 positions in the District Office
NO CUTS FOR THE ‘PROTECTED’ EDUCATION BUDGET ???
