Long Range Planning Model
 Review Updated 8 Year Budget Model Plan
 Revenue Assumptions
 Expenditure Assumptions
 Discuss net result of assumption refinements
 Comments and discussion on assumptions and model
Modeling Objectives and Highlights
 Purpose of 8-Year Model: Determine revenue shortfall resulting from expiration of Measure C
(2010) and “business as usual” operations
 Year 1 (2016-17) Projections vs. Adopted Budget (16-17): Revenues same, expenditures
approx. $1.7M higher
 Key change: Negotiated compensation increases (both 15/16 and 16/17)
 Years 2-8: New projections based on long-term historical averages and trends
 Secured property tax growth: Reflects current 8-year cycle-average growth rate
 Key salary assumptions
 (1) Constant class sizes (i.e., 2 new teachers per year)
 (2) Salary increases: placeholder based on historical average increases
 Any government mandated increases in revenues or expenditures are reflected, as appropriate
(e.g., PERS/STRS growth, COLA, per student growth)
 All other revenues and expenditures are subject to inflation (i.e., CPI)
 Year 5 (2020-21) shortfall: $4.9M, vs. $6.0M shortfall presented at May 10, 2016 Board Meeting
following vote on Measures A and C
 The $4.9M shortfall includes $900K in reductions (i.e., $5.8M vs. $6.0M apples-to-apples)

Easier to see long-term cycle-average trends with rolling 8-year CAGRs
Growth rates have been declining since the 8-year period ending 2004-05
To reflect this decline, projections use the most recent 8-year CAGR for years 2-4 (6.1%), with
gradual decreases in the growth rate beginning in year 5 (down to 3% growth in year 8)
