A candidate has been
selected to fill the position of Director of Curriculum and Instruction.
Recommendation
Approve appointment as
recommended.
Action 10.2 2007-08
Second Interim Report
The purpose of the interim report is to make revenue and
expenditure projections to the end of the fiscal year and to compare these
projections to the budget. Fiscal
Impact: The General Fund Unrestricted
Unappropriated Fund Balance is projected to be $8,292,916 as of June 30, 2008. The General Fund has $5,876,226 as the
required 2% Economic Uncertainties Reserve.
At this time the district will, however, be unable to meet this reserve
requirement in the 2009-10 fiscal year.
Because of this condition, the District must file a Qualified
Certification for the 2007-08 school year.
Recommendation
Approve the 2007-08
Second Interim Report as presented.
Action 10.3 Review
and Discussion of Priority for Add Backs
& Discussion As of
March 11, the Board of Education has approved more than $14.9 million in budget
reductions and fund shifts to meet an expected $14 million shortfall in the
2008-09 school year. $8.6 million is on-going, the remaining $6.3 million is
one-time money gained from fund shifts and recapture of money reserved for
other purposes. We will still have to
make additional budget reductions. We
simply don’t know how much as yet. We
will receive more information in May at the time of the governors May
revise. Despite the possibility for more
budget reductions, parents and employees would like the Board to establish
priorities for add backs.
Fiscal
Impact: To be determined
Funding

Discuss and establish
criteria for “add backs”.
