Dr. Chatterton presented FY18 Tentative Budget information. Due to the state budget still being unclear, it was necessary to prepare a budget that makes some assumptions based on last year's revenue and therefore is a 1,544,204 deficit budget. Hopefully more information will be available regarding state payments before next month. According to the Senate Bill 1 overview, no district will receive less money that last year. If the bill fails, the state could pay categorical payments but not the general state aide.
