TUSD Budget

As we are in the second half of the 2009-2010 school year, Turlock Unified School District is faced along with all of the other school districts throughout California, with budget cuts.  In January, we will begin a process of continuous analysis to maintain our fiscal integrity.  A district Budget Advisory Committee has been formed which will continue to meet throughout the 2009-2010 school year to address the budget issues as they arise.

From the School Services analysis of the Governor’s Budget Proposal, we know that although education is said to be “protected”, we will see real funding reductions in 2010-11.

The “fully funded” COLA (cost of living allowance) is in fact a negative COLA of .38%. The statutory COLA actually decreased from the prior year. The negative COLA amount is a loss of Revenue Limit funding of $24 per ADA, or approximately $313,000. (ADA = Average Daily Attendance) The revenue limit deficit will remain at 18.355% for 2010-11. The negative COLA amount will also affect all Tier II and III funding sources, including Special Education, for a loss in the range of $30,000 to $50,000. 
 
The “targeted” funding cut for school district administration and contracting out savings is estimated by School Services to be $201 per ADA on top of the negative COLA. For TUSD, that funding cut would be approximately $2,626,000. 
 
Unrelated to the proposed budget, TUSD is also experiencing decreasing ADA. The first attendance reporting period showed a loss of 149 ADA as compared to the prior year. Since the effect of declining enrollment is delayed one year, that loss of ADA will be felt in the 2010-11 budget.

Combining the effects of the Governor’s proposal and TUSD’s declining enrollment, the district could see approximately $3.9 million less in 2010-11 funding than originally anticipated. Expenditures will need to be reduced in 2010-11 to offset that reduction in funding.

Note:   The Budget Advisory Committee is an advisory committee to the Board of Trustees.  Members include parents and community members, staff members, bargaining unit representatives, students and administrators.  The committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees but only the Board of Trustees can take final action on budget items.

Why does school attendance make a difference?

One of the most important things families can do to help their children succeed is to make sure they attend school regularly. Students might skip school once or twice on a whim, but when they frequently miss school, they need help. Left unchecked, truancy can have strong negative effects on students’ lives. It can block future opportunities and lead to drug use, daytime crime and violence.
