File Attachment:
Background: The Administration requests approval of budget parameters to be used in the planning and development of the fiscal year 2018-19 budget (FY19). FY19 is the second year of the State’s biennial budget cycle. As such, the state parameters are known.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures. The fiscal impact will depend on later action of the board in adopting the budget.
Implementation and Assessment Plan The Administration will prepare the proposed fiscal year 2018-19 budget that will reflect the priorities and parameters set by the Board.
Recommendation: Your Committee recommends that the Board approve the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Budget Parameters to:

1. Be prepared based on adopted State budget; specifically, no annual increase in the per-pupil revenue limit for school districts;

2. Maximize the revenue limit;

3. Identify necessary spending reductions to fund raises for employees and that those raises and budget considerations start in the classrooms;

4. Identify necessary spending reductions to allocate funds to schools in a manner that preserves or decreases class size;

5. Identify necessary spending reductions to maintain a balanced budget: and

6. consider all departments for possible reductions to balance the District’s budget.
