63. Budget Information Minutes: Mr. Wortham clarified the misconception that the Legislature came through on the budget. The federal stimulus money, which is non-recurring funds, is being used as the "backbone" of our budget. Stimulus money is being used to supplant rather than supplement education. By using 50% now and 50% next year the Legislature is hoping that after 2 years the Florida economy will turn around and state funds will fill in the hole that the stimulus funds are now filling. We will be able to create a balanced budget and a minimum 3% fund balance which is required by law. There will be no lottery money this year. These funds were used to support the salaries of P.E. and Art programs, and we may receive another holdback next year. Other topics discussed were the Clay's declining enrollment, the shift in capital outlay funds, required local effort and the option for the Board to levy .25 mil for one year.
