Post-state budget passage

Digging out from the flurry that my desk has become (ah, summer!), I see that I have not posted the FY11 final state budget estimates for Worcester. When the governor signed the budget, he made what could be as much as $1 million in changes for Worcester Public Schools for FY11. These are:

• 11% of the Quality Kindergarten Grant, which would reduce our allocation by $120,000
• 10% of the Expanded Learning Time Grant (which clearly would hit particular schools)
• the charter school reimbursement. The estimate was for a $287,600 drop, but that was not a final number.
• School Improvement Grants (yes, the SIGs) could go down between $243,500 and $414,000 (that's 50-85%).

All together, that would total around $1 million.
