Redlands Unified School District

General Fund Budget Reduction Prioritization List - Effective 2017-2018

Based upon the 2017 January projected budget, Redlands USD will receive approximately $1.45 M new general funds for the 2017-2018 year;
however, budget increases due to CalSTRS/PERS and Step & Column will amount to $4.45. The 2018-2019 year is not projected to be better. This
leaves an unfunded general fund budget gap of approximately $3M for 2017-18 and a possible gap of $4M for 2018-2019. Thus, pending the
outcome of the May Revise, Redlands Unified School District will be faced with general fund shortages for upcoming years.

The District has developed a prioritized list of approximately $9M that may be used in descending order as budget reductions are needed beginning
July 2017. More than 70 items were submitted from stakeholders and reviewed. Numerous Input Groups, comprised of staff, community, and
parents, participated in ranking possible reduction items against the Board of Educations criteria. Using the Boards criteria and data from the
Input Groups the list has been placed into priority levels.

The actual cut line will be determined when the May Revise is released, and the State budget passed. The following serves as the Redlands Unified
School Districts General Fund Budget Reduction Prioritization Plan:
