  • January 22, 2013 Budget Workshop Special Meeting

    Posted by Linda Zintz at 1/29/2013 10:00:00 AM
    Board Actions Report for Jan. 22, 2013 Special Budget Workshop

    John Lee Evans, Kevin Beiser, Richard Barrera and Marne Foster were present. Scott Barnett was absent.
     
    The board approved the following motion:
     

    Direct the superintendent and staff to move forward with the attrition-based 2013-14 budget strategy with no layoffs;


    Authorize the superintendent and staff to move forward with all necessary and additional real property sales to balance the budget under this model;


    Direct the superintendent and staff to use the $265 ADA revenue limit budget assumption model to build the budget for the second interim report, and in addition, staff to build a budget using the $111 ADA revenue limit budget model as a back-up plan to be able to show the county;

     

     

    Regarding the additional real estate sales, as we move forward in the budget process between now and before the final budget adoption, direct staff that when we start to see surplus funds being generated from the property sales, those surplus funds are to be set aside and identified for an ongoing investment that will yield on-going savings.  The savings are to be used to convert schools on a Year Round School (YRS) calendar to a traditional calendar.
