projections (allows for full-FTE for eLearning students - per FLDOE

Emergency Order)

✓ NO Assurance for 2nd Semester funding from the state

▪ Other Budget Impacting Factors✓ Transportation

• Ridership/FTE funded - Pre-COVID funded at about 59% of costs

• Current ridership at 41% - great for social distancing, NOT great for

funding if not “held-harmless”

supplement operating budget (currently $2.3M)

✓ $1 increase in minimum wage, starting September 2021; increases

by $1 every year until reaches $15 per hour

delivering excellent education to every student

✓ Continue to monitor expenditures for ongoing savings &

protect fund balance to buffer potential mid-year

revenue loss
