BILL NUMBER: S5822
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the education law, in relation to the calculation of
contingency budget percentage increases in total spending over a
district's total spending under the school district budget for the
prior school year; and providing for the repeal of such provisions
upon expiration thereof
PURPOSE :
To permit school districts that will be operating on a contingency
budget for the 2010-11 school year to use a five year average CPI in
calculating the allowable total spending increases permitted under a
contingency budget
EXISTING LAW :
Existing law provides that a contingency budget for a school district
shall not increase by more than 120% of the Consumer Price Index or
4%, whichever is less, over the prior school year.
JUSTIFICATION :
The projected CPI for 2009 is currently -0.8, a negative number
because we are experiencing a deflationary period. Under current law a
contingency budget for a school district may not increase by more than
120% of the Consumer Price Index or 4%, whichever is less. This would
