One note, before proceeding with the plan to make the required budget cuts, is to note how people-intensive the budget is. Looking at the total General Fund budget, which totals $2.2 billion, 86 percent is spent on employee salaries and benefits. Of this amount, 89 percent of staff are assigned to schools. Thus, it is practically impossible to make budget cuts of this magnitude without impacting staffing and/or pay levels and without directly impacting schools.
