BUDGET-BALANCING REDUCTIONS Back to Top
  • The Budget includes General Fund reductions of $4.3 million in 2008-09. However, because the Commission's state operations are paid entirely from special fund revenues derived from the credentialing and examination fees paid by K-12 teachers, administrators and professional services personnel, there are no administrative reductions for the Commission. The major budget balancing local assistance reductions include:

    • A $3.5 million reduction for the Alternative Certification Program which partners school districts and colleges to train individuals pursuing teaching as a second career. The impact of this reduction will be minimal due to lower-than-anticipated program participation which has resulted in program savings in recent years.
