PUSD's Budget for 2009-10 General Points Based on the Budget Package Adopted February 2009 Budget's impact on PUSD; PUSD has been analyzing the impact of the state budget on the District. Over the next 15 months, we anticipate the following: Revenue limit: Revenue to the District based on the number of enrolled students will decrease by $3 million in the current (08/09) year and an additional $1.2 million in 09/10. Categorica/programs Funding for categorical programs will be reduced 15.4% in the current year and an additional 4.9% in 09/10, for a total reduction of more than 20% from current levels. Annual cost: In most years, the District receives new money from the state in the form of a cost-of-living adjustment which is used to fund our costs to "roll-over" the budget from one year to the next. With no changes in personnel or programs, this is about $2 million annually. To address this loss in revenue, the District has identified the need to make $8.7 million in personnel and program reductions. Board-approved reductions for 2009/ZO; (Not in priority order.
