What Happens If The Levy Passes?
2013-14 Spending Cuts Remain $465,569
Retain All Day – Everyday Kindergarten
Continue an extremely lean operation
What Happens If the Levy Fails
We are at the bare minimum staffing In addition to the 2013-14 reduction/cuts
of $465,569 ½ day kindergarten = Savings $326,414 Total Savings $764,544 That will not be enough…
What Happens If the Levy Fails in May 2013?
Without any changes/cuts/reductions, we are projecting a spending deficit of $1,211,879 for FY 14.
$1,211,879 FY 14 projected spending deficit
- $ 465,569 2013/14 reductions
- $ 326,414 1/2 day kindergarten
= $447,335Deficit Remains
We would have to go back to the voters in November with a reduced 4.95 mills (without all day everyday kindergarten) to avoid fiscal emergency and possible State intervention.
