Closing Remarks What can we expect in a COVID-19 budget?

COVID-19 – What’s next? 2020-21 Proposed Budget Revenue expected? • There are CARES dollars for Oregon schools • Initial estimate of $11 million • Helpful, but not enough • We need a special legislative session or across-the-board reductions will apply to K-12 schools
COVID-19 – What’s next? 2020-21 Proposed Budget Budget Committee • Budget Committee approves the budget, which provides the district appropriations for the coming year • If revenue does not support these appropriations, we will make the necessary reductions • This budget, once adopted, allows for both a best-case and a worst-case scenario
Budget Reduction Guiding Principles 2020-21 Proposed Budget Framework for Reductions • The following guiding principles will be used in determining budget reduction packages: • Focus on equity • Continuity of operation, which includes instruction at the core • Tiered approach, keeping reductions away from the classroom as long as possible
