2011- 13 Governor’s Balanced Budget $6.85 Billion All Funds (by Program Area) School Funding $5,557,623,124 81.1% Grant-in-Aid $1,004,869,873 14.7% Youth Corrections Common School Fund $11,482,052 $78,752,888 0.2% Special Schools 1.1% Debt Service $17,322,556 $57,962,405 Department Operations 0.3% 0.8% $120,288,094 1.8% 4

In general, the Governor’s budget: 1) implements a 5.5% across-the-board reduction in the current service level (CSL) budget for personal services; 2) eliminates inflation adjustments from the CSL budget; 3) continues most June 2010 allotment reductions; and 4) does not fund any policy option packages (POPs) supported by an increase in General Fund. Funds Department Operations at $120.3 million Total Funds. Reduces the Operations General Fund CSL budget by $3.6 million, using agency-submitted reduction options, and continues $1.1 million in June 2010 allotment reductions. With other CSL reductions such as the elimination of inflation and the 5.5% reduction in  personal services, these adjustments put the General Fund budget for Operations at 18% below its CSL budget. 5

Does not include a proposed fee increase for private career schools or a related POP for staffing this program. Removes the Early Childhood Section from ODE and moves it to the Early Learning Council. Transfers $2.4 million Total Funds and 10 positions from Operations.  Transfers $235.9 million General Fund and $43.8 million in Federal Funds expenditure  authority from Grant-in-Aid for early childhood grants (Oregon Pre-Kindergarten and Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education). Reduces the budget by $9.5 million Other Funds for the Youth Corrections Education Program due to the anticipated loss of 425 beds in the budget for the Oregon Youth Authority. Removes $2.7 million in General Fund support for the Blind and Visually Impaired Student Fund, assuming its share of the proceeds from the sale of the Oregon School for the Blind (OSB) property - along with the Fund's carryover balance - will provide sufficient resources for the Fund in 2011-13. 6

Funds the Oregon School for the Deaf (OSD) at $14.3 million Total Funds, about a 12% increase over its 2009-11 budget. OSD's General Fund support is increased by 11%.  Upon closure of OSB, OSB staff with more seniority relocated at OSD and displaced staff with less seniority. The higher salaries for the more senior staff are reflected in the 2011-13 budget. Continues some June 2010 allotment reductions for OSD ($0.9 million) but makes no other reductions other than the standard reductions for inflation and personal services. Funds the POP for deferred maintenance at OSD, not with General Fund as requested but with proceeds from the sale of the OSB property. 7

Reduces General Fund grants for regional, hospital education, and long-term care and treatment education programs by 18% and for mentoring, physical education, connectivity, and student leadership centers by 25%. Funds the State School Fund at $5.558 billion (includes $1.4 million for local option matching grants). Does not include "carve-outs“ from the State School Fund for business practices audits and the 10th grade assessment contract. Continues Oregon Virtual School District funding at $1.8 million (out of the State School Fund). 8
