Adoption of Regular Calendar

(Budget Reductions for Fiscal Year 2004-05) Specific proposals recommended by the Superintendent are also contained in Tab #50 - Adoption of Superintendent's Provisional Budget and are expected to be approved within that item. Amendments below may be addressed with this item.

€ Mr. Tokofsky - Amendment to Budget Reductions (Noticed May 25, 2004)

1. Reduce overtime by 75% and return savings to the reserve for economic uncertainties.

2. Eliminate all unfilled positions and return savings to the reserve for economic uncertainties.

3.Investigate the sale price of all non-school and closed school sites and provide the potential revenues to the Board in closed session.

4.Investigate the sale of portions of a school's property when that school's density is less than the District median density of 170 students per acre. The resulting funding would be placed into the reserve for economic uncertainties or used for school construction or maintenance. For example, a 20 acre school site with 1,400 students would have a density of 70 students per acre. The sale of nearly 12 of the 20 acres would place the school at the median density of 170 students per acre and the resulting millions of dollars could be placed in the reserve or used for facilities.

6. Reduce consultant contracts by $5 million and return savings to the reserve for economic
uncertainties.

7. Reduce the number of non-school site employees earning greater than $120,000 to save
$1 million and return savings to the reserve for economic uncertainties.

8. Pursue a State Board of Education waiver for the required 3% match for deferred maintenance
to continue the 2% match. Return the resulting $60 million savings into the reserve for
economic uncertainties.
