The budget adopted by the board includes significant reductions in Central Services, including eliminating the jobs of 68 current employees as well as the elimination of 57 vacant positions. There are significant reductions in Central Services non-personnel budgets also. Reductions in spending include $7 million in Facilities Services, $2.5 million in Technology Services and $1.1 million in Instructional Services.
The board is required to adopt a proposed budget prior to local and state funding for schools being finalized. The governor presented a proposed budget on April 20 that will be debated by the legislature and adopted later this year.
The board budget now goes to the Wake County Board of Commissioners who will approve a county budget for 2010-11 that will include the county appropriation to the school system. If there is a difference between the board's proposed budget and final revenues included in state and county funding, the system will make additional changes.
