III. Public Discussion of Projected Receipts and Expenses - Draft Budget for 2009-10
Rationale

State law (KRS 160.470 (6)(a) requires that every local board of education receive a DRAFT Budget prior to January 31 for the upcoming school year.  The law's purpose is to assure that the board has sufficient information about projected receipts and expenditures for all funds in the entire budget as allocations for individual budget components are considered.

Bob Wagoner will present an overview of our revenue and expense projections for 2009-10.

Action on the school allocations will be taken at the board meeting in February 2009.

Recommended Motion

Take this information under advisement and the minutes will reflect that the Board has reviewed projected revenue and expenses for 2009-10 pursuant to KRS 160.470.

IV. Report on Budget Implications
Rationale

In order to address the difficult challenge of significant cuts in funding for two consecutive school years, I am presenting some possible reductions in expenditures.  While this is a draft document at this time, I wanted the Board to be informed of this plan.  We hope to know more about potential revenue and actual cuts to our budget following this legislative session.  At that time I can share a more specific listing of cuts in personnel, programs, and materials.

Recommended Motion

Take this information under advisement.
