Budget Update - Anticipated Budget Shortfall
Parents, Community Members, Teachers and Staff:
We are facing a possible $135 million shortfall to our Budget next year. This
deficit is a result of a current and anticipated revenue shortfall from the State of Florida that will ultimately impact our District.
It is our priority to ensure that we have as minimal an impact on the classroom as possible, but it is unrealistic to think students will not be affected in some way. Potential budget reduction strategies include, but are not limited to, the following: closing schools and changing boundaries; changing middle and high school schedules; limiting transportation, particularly for magnet programs; and increasing the walk zone to schools from 1.5 miles to 2. Essentially, anything other than our teachers and classrooms will come under scrutiny for possible cuts.
