The District's Strategic Budget Planning Team has begun the process of building and investing in a forward- looking, focused and sustainable budget for 2012-13. The team has reviewed the results of the recent Community Budget Priorities Survey and will be aligning their recommendations to the input that was received.

It is anticipated that there will be at least $40 million reduced in programs and services due to decreased revenue and increased costs. More than 86% of the District's budget is in personnel.

Later this week, the State's economic forecast will be released and it will help inform the Oregon Legislature's February Special Session in re-balancing the 2011-13 state budget. School districts will then have additional financial information to develop 2012-13 budget assumptions.

Regular updates will be provided as the budget planning process unfolds.
