McARTHUR – The Fall River Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees were presented with the draft budget outline for the 2012-2013 school year at a budget workshop following last week’s regular meeting. The budget will be up for approval at the June 27th meeting.
For the first time in many years, the district will be receiving less than $10 million in new revenues. Business manager, Teresea Spooner said that the new revenue has never been under $10 million in the years she has worked for the district. Projected revenues are at $9,848,576 for the coming school year. A combination of budget cuts and declining enrollment are all factors in this number. The district is budgeting for a reduction in Average Daily Attendance (ADA) dollars from the state.
