Well here we are within 2 weeks of completing the year (all 365 days of it). As we have used up 350 of those days already, there aren't very many left – and not surprisingly most, if not all, of our 08-09 money has been spent. HOWEVER, the state has not yet adopted its final 08-09 budget!! That’s right – that is not a typo – they have not adopted their final budget and are therefore in a “rush” to get it done by June 30th. More specifically, they are geared up to reduce another $9.2 million from our 08-09 RUSD budget (which of course was spent some time ago).
Having trouble figuring this out? Well the feds also sent us a check for about $11 million in stimulus during the past few weeks. Now it makes sense?!? The 09-10 budget year should be even more interesting given the maneuvering of the leadership in Sacramento.
