Districts face ~9% cuts in FY09-10 budgets

Some of us have been wondering aloud how the 2009-11 budget impacts each district. Finally, we have an idea. Thanks to numbers crunched largely by OSPI, we’ve compiled two docs showing the projected loss each district is facing for fiscal year 2009-10 (district fiscal years run September-August, rather than July-June). One doc lists the districts by name, the other by enrollment (useful for comparing districts of similar size).

At the state level, we’re looking at a reduction of 8.9%, or about $652 per student. The median for all districts is a reducation of 8.92%, or about $687 per student. Just a reminder, these are reductions for the 2009-10 school year, not the biennium.
