The fiscal guidance provided by the Board of Supervisors to the County Administrator in January 2016 (FY17) coupled with the Superintendent’s Proposed Budget resulted in a gap of $34.8 to $39.5 million. The comparable gap in January 2015 (FY16) was $11.2 to $28.4 million. In FY16 the gap was ultimately closed, resulting in full-funding of the School Board’s request.
