Adjustments to the Budget Balancing Reductions


PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ACCOUNT FUNDING FOR HOME TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION
 In the Legislative Special Session called to address the budget shortfall, legislation was adopted which authorized up to $409 million in Proposition 98 General Fund expenditures for the Home-to-School Transportation Program for the 2007-08 fiscal year to be reimbursed from the Public Transportation Account (PTA). Similarly, the May Revision proposes to achieve additional General Fund savings for the 2008-09 fiscal year by adding language to the budget to authorize up to $592.9 million from the PTA to be used to reimburse the General Fund for the budgeted cost of the Home to School Transportation Program, including Special Education transportation.


SURPLUS RELOCATABLE CLASSROOM PROGRAM FUNDS
 In prior years, the state has transferred rental income received from the State Relocatable Classroom Program that was not needed for the program to the General Fund. Subsequently, the State Allocation Board approved a plan to phase out the program since it was no longer meeting its original intent to temporarily assist districts with excessive enrollment growth and unforeseen classroom emergencies, and due to the general condition of the aging fleet of relocatable classrooms. The Office of Public School Construction has now indicated there is $14 million in excess revenue from the program that is available. As a result, consistent with prior practice, the May Revision proposes to transfer this funding to the General Fund.
