This document presents information on the Carlsbad Unified School District's (CUSD) multi-year budget situation and projections. It notes that CUSD remains qualified but not positive due to projected deficits of $0 in 2012-13 and $10.4 million in 2013-14. Major changes include reductions in state and federal revenues, increases in retirement costs, and expenditure cuts through staff reductions and other measures. Charts show revenue, expenditures, and declining reserve levels over recent years contributing to the district's current financial challenges.
The document discusses district and school site budgeting and what principals need to know. It covers three parts: 1) an overview of what site leaders need to know about budgets, 2) school district budgeting, and 3) site-level budgeting. School district budgets are tightly constrained, with 85% of budgets locked up in salaries and benefits, and few discretionary funds remaining of only 2-3%. Principals must understand budgeting to be instructional leaders and avoid potential career problems from financial mismanagement.
The Governor's budget update proposes another "crisis" budget that relies on temporary tax increases to avoid deep cuts to education. If the tax measure fails, K-14 education would be cut by $4.8 billion, reducing per-student funding by about $370. The budget also introduces a weighted student funding formula to replace most categorical programs and revenue limits over five years, but districts could gain or lose funding depending on their student demographics. Locally-funded districts may see impacts from changes to redevelopment agency funding and the new finance model. Districts must develop budgets with uncertain funding levels and await the final state budget.
The document provides an overview of the preliminary budget for the North Colonie Central Schools. It identifies returns on educational investments, reviews the current financial picture at the national, state and local levels, and examines the impact of Governor Cuomo's proposed budget. It also discusses educational mandates, the tax levy cap, and the district's approach to developing the 2012-13 budget. Upcoming budget meetings are scheduled in March with a vote by the Board of Education on March 29.
The document provides an overview and comparison of California's Proposition 30 and Proposition 38 tax initiatives on the November 2012 ballot. It finds that Proposition 38 would generate more education funding overall but most would go directly to schools, while Proposition 30 funds would go to the state general fund to avoid further education cuts. Proposition 30 relies on sales and income tax increases while Proposition 38 uses higher personal income taxes. The document aims to objectively inform about the initiatives' impacts rather than advocate for either one.
This document summarizes a congressional briefing on the Center for Working Families (CWF) approach to helping families achieve economic security. It discusses how CWFs bundle employment, income, and financial services to improve outcomes. Data shows that CWF participants have increased income, credit scores, and savings. The approach is flexible and can work through different platforms like community colleges. Mature CWF sites have found direct connections between financial and workforce outcomes, and that systems change requires partnerships. United Way of the Bay Area's SparkPoint Centers use a similar bundled approach and have helped over 7,000 participants, with many making financial progress through increased income, credit scores, savings, and debt reduction. Key lessons are that bundling works
The document provides an overview of the financial aid process for high school seniors and their families. It discusses key terms like cost of attendance, expected family contribution, and financial need.

Tips are provided on borrowing responsibly and meeting financial aid deadlines.
The Chicago Public Schools budget faces major deficits over the next three years due to declining revenues and increasing expenses like pensions. The FY13 budget is projected to have a $600-700 million deficit, with FY14 and FY15 deficits expected to exceed $1 billion each. To address this, the budget process aims to maximize funding to schools while reducing central office costs. However, bold actions are needed to solve the district's long-term financial problems, especially growing pension expenses, and this will require cooperation from teachers, principals, and state legislators.
Financial aid refers to all funds available to students to cover the costs of postsecondary education, including federal and state grants and loans, institutional grants and scholarships, and private sources. It is generally awarded based on financial need, which is determined by subtracting a student's expected family contribution from the institution's estimated cost of attendance. Some common types of financial aid are portable grants like the Pell Grant that can be used at any institution, and campus-based aid allocated to schools to meet student need, though awards of campus-based funds and institutional grants are usually not impacted by outside resources like IDAs. Private loans should not be considered true financial aid.

Things you might want to know about education finance in ccsdJeff Weiler
Clark County School District's state funding is complicated, involving factors like the Distributive School Account (DSA) and local property taxes and sales taxes. The district is guaranteed to receive at least as much in total state funding as it generates from one-third of property taxes and 100% of local sales tax revenue. People costs, such as salaries and benefits for teachers and staff, account for 89% of CCSD's budget while other operating expenses make up the remaining 11%. CCSD has faced a structural budget deficit and has had to make difficult choices, such as staffing cuts, to close budget gaps while still ranking 19th out of the 20 largest US school districts in per-student spending.

This is a presentation I created for NOSBA. My intent was to use the data to concisely demonstrate the impact on our region of the Gap Elimination Adjustment. It has only been a few short years.
This document summarizes key aspects of the 2011-12 CUSD budget revision. It notes pros and cons of the state budget, including that it provides flat funding for education but underfunds Proposition 98. The budget dictates terms to local school boards and could result in midyear cuts. It also outlines risks to the state budget from economic events or federal budget cuts. The budget includes a "trigger" that could cut $1.9 billion from K-12 education if revenues fall short. Districts are prohibited from budgeting for these potential cuts.
The Tipp City School District is asking voters to approve a 7.95 mill emergency levy on August 7th to generate $3 million annually for 5 years. State funding cuts have forced the district to make $1.3 million in budget cuts with another $1 million expected for the upcoming school year. Passage of the levy would allow the district to avoid cutting additional staff and programs and maintain its excellent academic rating. Without the levy, the district would have to make further staff cuts that could impact class sizes, graduation rates, and student services.
This document summarizes budget assumptions for the 2012-13 school year. It outlines that the budget depends on a tax initiative passing in November 2012. If it passes, funding could decrease. If it fails, revenues may be reduced by $441 per student. The assumptions include a 0% COLA, increasing healthcare and pension costs, and $6.1 million in expenditure reductions through cuts and relocating a school. The board is recommended to accept the presented assumptions.
The 2012-13 budget document summarizes the district's mission to provide a sound basic education to all students, quotes Governor Cuomo on education inequity, and outlines budget and staffing cuts over the past two years due to declining state aid. It then provides details on revenue sources, expenditure assumptions, major cost drivers like health insurance and retirement increases, and potential budget cuts to close an $800,000 gap and stay within the tax cap limit.
The document discusses key information principals need to know about district and school site budgeting. It covers three main parts: an overview of what site leaders need to know, school district budgeting, and site-level budgeting. School district budgets are constrained, with 85% of budgets locked up in salaries and benefits, and few discretionary funds remaining. Principals must understand budgeting processes to effectively lead their schools within financial limitations.
The document discusses district and school site budgeting and what principals need to know. It covers three parts: an overview of what site leaders need to know about budgets, school district budgeting, and site-level budgeting. The realities of school district budgets are that about 85% of the budget is locked up in salaries and benefits, another 13-14% is fixed, and site leaders will typically only control 2-3% of the budget. The business office plays a key role in accounting, budgeting, purchasing and other financial responsibilities.
This document compares and contrasts the Broward County and Polk County school districts. Broward County has over 267,000 students across 236 schools, while Polk County has around 100,286 students across 160 schools. Broward County places more emphasis on specialized programs to reduce dropout rates and increase technical education, while Polk County focuses on maintaining required fund balances. Key differences between the districts include student population size, local required effort taxes, and support for different ESE levels. Both districts saw increases in career education and virtual school enrollment.
This document provides information about planning and saving for a child's education, including estimated costs of attending college, impact of inflation on costs over time, and different savings and funding options. It discusses calculating how much to save monthly based on the child's age and estimated college costs. It also outlines several US tax incentives available in 2013 to help pay for qualified education expenses, such as the American Opportunity Tax Credit, Lifetime Learning Credit, student loan interest deduction, and Education Savings Accounts.
The Carlsbad Unified School District Board took action to reduce expenditures by $2.26 million by the end of 2012-2013 to lower their projected deficit to $8.3 million. Expenditure reductions included delaying the opening of a new school, reducing administrative positions, stipends, travel budgets, and discretionary site and department accounts. The Board also eliminated and reduced several programs and classified positions. Given these reductions, the remaining deficit would need to be addressed through reductions to total employee compensation of potentially 14.6%. A state budget shortfall and potential mid-year funding reductions from the state could further increase the district's projected deficit. The district is also pursuing revenue enhancement strategies like renegotiating joint-use
This document discusses various tax credits available to individual taxpayers, including:
1) The child tax credit of $1,000 per child under age 17, which phases out for higher incomes.
2) The earned income credit, a refundable credit for lower-income workers and families.
3) The child and dependent care credit, which provides a tax credit for working families' childcare expenses.
4) Education credits like the American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit that provide tax relief for qualified higher education expenses.
5) Special rules and limitations that apply to these various individual tax credits.
The Arbon School is facing a budget shortfall of $42,000 for the 2010-2011 school year due to ongoing decreases in state funding. Revenues have been decreasing for the past three years and state funding was recently cut by 7% with a possible additional 5% cut. The school has already made budget cuts of 10.2% but has few other options to cut expenses since most costs are fixed. A proposed $30,000 levy would raise taxes from $55 to $251 per $100,000, which is still significantly lower than surrounding districts. Keeping the small, rural school open benefits property values and the community.
- The document discusses a proposed school levy for the Hudson City School District that would provide funding to maintain academic excellence, support extracurricular programs, and address declining revenues due to state funding cuts and lower property values.
- Passing the levy would help close budget gaps projected for upcoming years and allow the district to avoid staffing reductions while continuing to contain costs.
- Failure to pass the levy would lead to declining fund balances, loss of programs, and potential cuts that could negatively impact student outcomes and home values in the district.

Sierra Vista Graduation Speech - Dr. Vodickadvodicka
The superintendent saw courage demonstrated by students and teachers at Sierra Vista High School on multiple visits. He observed courage when students maintained a school garden, shared motivational speeches, made musical instruments, conducted science experiments, and faced challenges with smiles and determination. Reviews of the school newspaper highlighted how the school feels like a loving family. In his graduation speech, the superintendent thanked the students for demonstrating "Courage Every Day," as the school motto states, and encouraged them to continue standing strong in the face of adversity.
The Superintendent's Advisory Committee on Magnet Schools met monthly to discuss recommendations for the district's magnet program. A survey of stakeholders at the four current magnet schools was analyzed and next steps suggested. A separate survey of K-8 families regarding a possible magnet theme for Washington Middle School resulted in a recommendation for a "Design and Innovation" theme. The committee unanimously recommended the Superintendent approve three magnet pathways - STEM, Arts/Design, and International Baccalaureate - and the specific "Innovation and Design" focus for Washington Middle School.

The Vista Unified School District and the California School Employees Association met to discuss contract negotiations. They reached an agreement regarding reducing campus assistants. They also discussed the district's initial proposals, but CSEA did not provide a counterproposal. CSEA indicated they were not ready to discuss their initial proposal yet. The district expressed their interest in resolving the outstanding issues before the current contract expires at the end of June. Future negotiation meetings were scheduled for May, June and July.
VUSD Math and Dr. Boaler Parent Night 5.23.13dvodicka

They set future meeting dates to continue negotiations and resolve issues before the current contract expires on June 30th.
The document outlines the process used to determine start and end times for schools in the Vista Unified School District for the 2013-2014 school year. A superintendent's advisory committee with representatives from various stakeholder groups analyzed attendance data and transportation presentations to recommend a new schedule. The recommended schedule includes earlier start times for some elementary schools, shifting some schools from early to late schedules, and aligning kindergarten schedules across the district using an early bird/later gator model. The superintendent supports the committee's recommendation and will communicate the new schedules to families by May 2013.
The 2nd Interim Financial Report projects that while the school district will have a positive fund balance for the current and next two years, the balance will deteriorate significantly without budget reductions as expenditures are projected to exceed revenues, resulting in a negative fund balance by 2014-15. The Superintendent will propose budget reduction solutions of $8-16 million over the next two years to avoid fiscal insolvency and ensure adoption of a balanced budget.
District magnet recommendation 3 14-13 postbrddocsdvodicka
The Superintendent's Advisory Committee recommends closing the Vista Academy of Visual/Performing Arts (VAVPA) middle school program due to declining enrollment, facility needs, and budget cuts. The rationale includes being in year 5 of program improvement, few students matriculating to Mission Vista High School, and a small number of only 300 students in grades 6-8. Next steps discussed include articulating magnet programs from elementary to high school and closing the 6-8 grade program at VAVPA as of June 30, 2013 while giving current students an extended transfer window.
The document outlines Vista Unified School District's goals of establishing standardized safety, security, and crisis management protocols. It discusses gathering stakeholder input and reviewing every campus in areas like safe school plans, security protocols, fencing, locks, communication and alarm systems. An outside firm will provide a security review and recommendations for each campus on topics like fencing, cameras and lighting. The overall goal is to ensure student, employee and visitor safety.
The Special Ed Task Force is charged with defining an instructional model that promotes high-quality teaching and learning assessed through multiple measures of student achievement. Presenters discussed moving from pull-out to inclusion models and content-centered instruction aligned with common core standards. Next steps include developing a strategic plan around service priorities like student identification, instructional delivery, leadership, communication, and program monitoring.
The document provides recommendations for reducing transportation costs in the Vista Unified School District. It notes a projected budget deficit and need to reduce optional transportation services. Community meetings were held where attendees provided input on transportation issues and potential solutions for 8 schools. A three-year plan is proposed to reduce special education transportation costs by aligning with the state average, analyzing current caseloads, and moving to a neighborhood model. An initial estimated savings of $350,000 is provided for 2013-14.
World languages and vapa update 3 6 2013rvdvodicka
The Curriculum and Instruction Department has established quarterly round tables for middle and high school world language teachers to align curriculum with state and national standards.
