Contingency BudgetsSingle revote: Upon the defeat of the original proposed school budget, a district may resubmit the original budget, submit a revised budget, or adopt a contingency budget. If the voters fail to approve the budget upon the second vote, the district must adopt a contingency budget. Expanded definition: Interscholastic athletics, field trips, other extracurricular activities, and related transportation expenses are contingent expenses.

Contingency Budgets

Administrative cap: The administrative component of a contingency budget will be limited to the lesser of: 1) the percentage of the administrative component in the prior year’s budget or 2) the percentage of the administrative component in the last defeated proposed budget. Cap on total spending: Total spending under a contingency budget may not increase by more than 120 % of national CPI or 4.00%, whichever is lower. For 2007-08 the cap is 3.84 %.
