IntroductionIntroduction In balancing its budget, the State grouped many

restricted programs into three “Tiers”

Programs in Tier III were impacted to the greatest extent Funding was reduced nearly 20% Flexibility was provided to districts allowing these

resources to be swept into unrestricted accounts

The loss of funding has caused a strain on the District’s ability to provide services

Flexibility can provide an opportunity to address the overall funding needs of the District
