Budget Challenges Since 2009
• Impact of Great Recession
• County and state still recovering
• Minimal funding at or below Maintenance of Effort level, resulting in significant reductions
10
The Misnomer of Maintenance of Effort

• MOE means the same dollar amount per student—NOT the same level of service
• MOE does not cover rising costs for inflation including salaries, benefits, utilities
• MOE funding requires cuts just to provide same level of services

No More Cuts
Any further disinvestment in education is a disinvestment in the future of our children
and our county.
