Author    Post   Guest Flint Community Schools FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Walter Milton Jr., Ed.D. wmilton@flintschools.org INTERNAL OFFICE COMMUNICATION January 31, 2007 To: All Employees – Flint Community Schools From: Dr. Walter Milton, Jr., Superintendent Carl Johnson, Interim Chief Financial Officer Re: Division A Spending Freeze The final enrollment count is in for the district and the result was an unanticipated decrease in enrollment of approximately 600 more students than budgeted. The enrollment decrease has resulted in a loss of state aid totaling approximately $9 million. To date, the district is under budget in expenditures by approximately $4 million resulting in a net current year deficit of approximately $5 million. The State of Michigan Director of Senate Fiscal Agency reported on January 18, 2007 that the state’s budget shortfall in the State Aid Fund for the 2006/2007 fiscal year is approximately $377 million or $224 per pupil. If this shortfall continues, which everyone believes it will, the result will be an additional loss in state aid revenue of approximately $4 million in the next few months, bringing the total current year shortfall to approximately $8 million. As a result of the above items, a freeze is placed on all discretionary spending from Division A, K-12 funds including the following: • Overtime • Out-of-state travel • Equipment • Supplies (including teacher, office and instructional) • Food • Consultants • Filling vacant positions; exceptions will be approved by the Superintendent The freeze is effective immediately. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Carl Johnson in the Business Office at (810) 760-1118 or Superintendent Walter Milton, Jr., at (810) 760-1249.
