1. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FY 09 Budget Reductions November 17, 2008

2. 2 The financial foundation for our schools is much stronger today than it was when Mayor Bloomberg took control Over $8 billion increase in funding Principals control their schools’ budgets Fair student funding This chart does not include increases in other categorical funds, which account for an additional $0.05 billion. FY08 and FY09 are as of the FY09 Executive Budget. Funds include pension and debt service. Figures in bars are rounded. 1.4 1.7 1.8 1.9 1.8 5.7 5.9 5.8 6.2 6.7 7.2 8.1 8.7 5.9 6.2 7.0 7.6 8.6 9.5 10.5 FY2002FY2003FY2004FY2005FY2006FY2007FY2008*FY2009* City State Federal $12.9b $13.9b $14.7b $15.9b $17.3b $18.7b $20.4b $21.0 b

3. 3 Increases have been directed to schools * Direct services to schools includes support services (transportation, food, facilities), restricted/non-restricted school programs and school admin (SSO, ISC) **School-controlled funds include teacher salaries, materials, programs for students, school support staff, pension, fringe Principals’ spending power climbed with a $4.5 billion increase in school-controlled funds Direct services to schools (e.g., food, transportation) are up more than $2.4 billion Redirected over $350 million from the bureaucracy to the schools + 64%

4. 4 The deteriorating economy requires significant reductions across all government agencies For the DOE, these percentage cuts translate into budget reductions of : $180 million for FY09* $385 million for FY10* In order to close the growing and substantial deficits in the City’s budget this fall, the Mayor has required all City agencies to reduce their budgets for FY09 and FY10 by 2.5% and 5.0%, respectively. *Adjusted from $185 million and $395 million. Budgets as of October 2008

5. 5 We have followed key principles in allocating funding cuts over the last 9 months Prioritize those programs and functions that have the highest impact on promoting student achievement aligned with the principles of Children First Minimize the dollars taken out of school budgets No layoffs at the school level for FY08 and FY09 Further streamline central departments and field organizations with minimal impact on schools

6. 6 We will continue to minimize reductions to school budgets while cutting central and field budgets disproportionately Midyear cut in FY08: 2% from Central and Field and 1% from school budgets FY09 budget reduction: Total $200 million taken outside of school budgets Midyear cut in FY09: 6% from Central and Field and 1% from school budgets

7. 7 Central and Field budgets represent 8% of the dollars available for reduction but have taken 16% of the cuts School budgets represent 66% of the dollars available for reduction but have taken 36% of the cuts Over the three budget cuts, Central and Field have taken cuts equal to more than double their share of budgeted $
