Budget Planning and Development Process for 2010-11
School District 16 is currently engaged in the process of planning and developing the 2010-11 budget. What is important to know? The district must cut or modify its budget by $4 million over the next two years, $2.3 million for 2010-2011. Two years of flat funding from the state is likely to be followed by additional years of reductions in funding. Last fall, we were pleased that our voters supported one Levy question, however a second questions that would have erased the deficit was not approved. For 2009-10, the district made $1.5 million in budget cuts and modifications; none at the classroom level, virtually none at the school level. Reductions made in previous years were also kept from the school and classroom level. This will no longer be possible. The planning and development of the budget will be about aligning resources with the vision and strategic directions of the district, with the ultimate goal of continuously improving student learning. The planning will focus on positioning the district to make effective decisions in the future, while at the same time bringing ever-greater levels of coherence and alignment in all that the district does. |
