Background:
The Administration requests approval of budget parameters to be used in the planning and development of the fiscal year 2018-19 budget (FY19). FY19 is the second year of the State’s biennial budget cycle. As such, the state parameters are known.

Implementation and Assessment Plan:
The Administration will prepare the proposed fiscal year 2018-19 budget that will reflect the priorities and parameters set by the Board.

2. Maximize the revenue limit;

3. Identify necessary spending reductions to fund raises for employees;

4. Identify necessary spending reductions to allocate funds to schools in a manner that preserves or decreases class size; and
