Normally at this time of the year we are heavily involved in the budgeting process for the next school year. While we know that the economy and state revenues are not doing well, the unknown factor remains the federal stimulus package and it's potential effect on the Idaho education budget for FY2010. Until the Idaho Legislature determines the impact of the stimulus, assuming the Governor requests the money, they will not set the K-12 public school budget. It is anticipated that the education budget will be the last one set; probably in April.
The latest news we have is that the FY2010 education budget will be $70 million lower than FY2009 even with the stimulus package. However, this information seems to change daily.
Keep posted for updates.
