School District of the City of Royal Oak

Dear Royal Oak Schools Parents, Staff & Community:

The School District of the City of Royal suffered three major reductions in state revenue in the month of October 2009:

• October 8 -   $165 per pupil from legislative budget approval ($891,000)
• October 19 - $261 per pupil by Governor's 20j veto ($1,400,000)
• October 22 - $127 per student - Governor's Executive Order ($685,800)

In total, our school system is expected to absorb nearly $3 million dollars of reduction in anticipated state revenue ($553 per pupil) within our current operations even though we are now five months into our fiscal year.

What does this mean?  More...
