What We Will Cover Today

•  The Issue •  The Impact •  The Solution •  Questions


THE ISSUE

4

California State Budget •  What is the real issue?

-  One of the biggest problems has been glossed over -  Focus has been on tax increase initiatives -  But, immediate impact is from 21.2% reduction in general

purpose entitlement funds


THE ISSUE

5

California State Budget •  What is the delay in funding?

-  This is not a cut – it’s a delay in payment -  It’s in addition to existing deferrals already in place -  21.2% is not taken all at once, but through monthly

installments


THE ISSUE

6

California State Budget •  Who does this impact?

-  Impacts all public schools – including charter schools -  Most charters don’t have the savings to absorb this state

payment delay


THE ISSUE

7

California State Budget •  When will this occur?

-  Already has - began in July -  Schools with deferral waivers may not have noticed this yet


THE IMPACT

8

November Ballot Initiatives •  Overview on Prop 30 + Prop 38


THE IMPACT

9

November Ballot Initiatives •  Only Prop 30 passes

-  Existing 21.2% delay in payment assumes Prop 30 passes -  Should be no additional reductions or deferrals -  New tax revenues go into “Education Protection Account” of

the State’s General Fund -  Funds in this account to be paid out next June


THE IMPACT

10

November Ballot Initiatives •  Prop 30 + Prop 38 Fail

-  Substantial cut in general purpose entitlement funding (trigger cuts)

-  More deferrals during the P-1 payment period -  Legislature may enact mid-year budget amendments


THE IMPACT

11

November Ballot Initiatives •  Only Prop 38 passes

-  Not clear what may happen with funding timing and amounts -  Some implementing legislation seems likely


THE IMPACT

12

November Ballot Initiatives •  Both Prop 30 and Prop 38 Pass

-  Initiative that receives the most votes will be implemented and the other will not be effective

Deferral Comparison •  How does this compare to others?

-  Expect monthly deferrals that result in 21.2% of your general purpose entitlement

-  Delayed until June -  Each monthly payment will be less than originally projected
