SUMMARY STATEMENT:
• Staff-recommended objective of this agenda item is to set the appropriation, and to use periodic Board/Council workshops to discuss operations and planning.
• Council continues to advocate for maximum allowable school funding, which this budget reflects.
• City Budget reflects the average of two fiscal-year school budgets.
• City holds a $500K School Budgetary Reserve to allow for mid-year funding fluctuations without disrupting other City budget items or necessitating funding from General Fund balance.
• College and Dual-Credit program funding are embedded in the Community Service Organization (CSO) department. Staff may recommend grouping all these items within the Education department with future budgets to provide a better analytical framework.
