9. Important Assumptions
Local Property Taxes: No change made to projection of
$60,683,436. Flat growth estimated for FY 2012-13 and 1%
growth estimated for FY 2013-14.
Redevelopment Agency Funds: With successful passage
of ABX1 27, redevelopment agencies have been dissolved
and agency funds will now support local schools and
other agencies. Though the California Department of
Education (CDE) projects district will receive over
$900,000 in redevelopment funds this fiscal year, final
figures will not be known until outstanding debt against
these monies is reported by cities. Thus, district is not
recognizing these funds at this time.
3/9/2012 9
10. Additional Assumptions
Basic Aid “Fair Share” Reduction: Implementation of SB 81
increased the Basic Aid “Fair Share” reduction by 0.65%, resulting
in a total cut of 9.57% projected for FY 2012-13.
State Funding Proposals: The Governor’s Budget proposal for FY
2012-13 includes a new weighted student funding formula that
may negatively impact the District. As a Basic Aid District,
Carlsbad Unified is not on the list and thus, may lose most of its
State funding. Furthermore, it is projected that districts across the
state may lose up to $455/ADA if the November initiative
proposed by Governor in his budget does not pass. Consultants
from the California Department of Education have advised us that
Basic Aid districts are likely to be impacted by these adjustments in
FY 2013-14. Consequently, the District has reduced its State
funding budget for 2013-14 to only include lottery funds and the
constitutional requirement that state provide at least $120 per ADA
to each district.

23. Deficit Spending Problem
Projected Revenue in 2012-13: $71.6 million
Projected Expenditures in 2012-13 (after $5 million in necessary cuts): $75.8
million
Why is the 2013-14 deficit projected at $10.3 million?
Projected Deficit of $5 million in 2012-13
Deficit Spending of $4.2 million in 2012-13 after necessary cuts are made
Projected decline of $1.3 million in State Funding in 2013-14 due to November
Election “Trigger” and Weighted Student Funding model implementation
Additional Sage Creek expenses of approximately $1.4 million
Expenditure Reduction of approximately $930k due to approved increase in
class sizes in grades 4-8
Additional NCCSE Revenue of $650k
Implication: Ongoing, not one-time, solutions are necessary

24. What Now?
Resolve $5 million deficit for 2012-13
Collective Bargaining
Wages
Benefits
Retiree Benefits
School Closures
Revenue Enhancements

teacher layoff notices and further increases in class
size
