2019-2020 Budget with Proposed Reductions Approximately $1.5 million (net) in proposed reductions would still result in a $500,000 deficit in 2019-20. This deficit would be addressed through a combination of additional retirements, an increase in Foundation Aid and use of reserves. 3/25/2019 Budget Update 9

Contingent Budget Rules What happens if the budget is rejected by voters? If the proposed budget is not approved by the voters, the district may resubmit the original budget or submit a revised budget to the voters on the third Tuesday in June OR adopt a contingency budget that levies a tax no greater than that of the prior year (0% increase in the tax levy). If the resubmitted/revised budget proposal is NOT approved by the required margin, the Board MUST adopt a budget that levies a tax no greater than that of the prior year (0% increase in the tax levy) AND the budget would be subject to contingent budget requirements. Under a Contingency Budget, some items would need to be cut from the budget to meet the law with respect to definition of contingency appropriations. Cuts would be to student supplies, community use of buildings and grounds, certain equipment purchases and salary increases. 3/25/2019 16 Budget Update
