The deteriorating economy requires significant reductions across all government agencies
For the DOE, these percentage cuts translate into budget reductions of:
• $180 million for FY09*• $385 million for FY10*
In order to close the growing and substantial deficits in the City’s budget this fall, the Mayor has required all City agencies to reduce their budgets for FY09 and FY10 by 2.5% and 5.0%, respectively.
*Adjusted from $185 million and $395 million. Budgets as of October 2008
5
We have followed key principles in allocating funding cuts over the last 9 months
• Prioritize those programs and functions that have the highest impact on promoting student achievement aligned with the principles of Children First
• Minimize the dollars taken out of school budgets
• No layoffs at the school level for FY08 and FY09
• Further streamline central departments and field organizations with minimal impact on schools
6
We will continue to minimize reductions to school budgets while cutting central and field budgets disproportionately
• Midyear cut in FY08: 2% from Central and Field and 1% from school budgets• FY09 budget reduction: Total $200 million taken outside of school budgets• Midyear cut in FY09: 6% from Central and Field and 1% from school budgets

• Central and Field budgets represent 8% of the dollars available for reduction but have taken 16% of the cuts
• School budgets represent 66% of the dollars available for reduction but have taken 36% of the cuts
Over the three budget cuts, Central and Field have taken cuts equal to more than double their share of budgeted $

Categorical and other reimbursable funds (including those that make up most of Transportation and Food) are not available for reductions.
Over 70% of the funds available for reduction are in pedagogical compensation.
