	Does the 10% across-the-board reduction apply to all funding sources?

Solution All designated funding sources included in the state aid check technically receive a cut of 10%. While this is a 10% across-the-board reduction, your district or area education agency will not be able, nor in some cases is it prudent, to cut every type of designated funding included in state aid by 10%.

For example, the state aid warrant this year includes funds for Teacher Salary Supplements (TSS - Teacher Quality compensation funds and Education Excellence Phase II funds), state Early Intervention/Class Size Reduction funds, and Teacher Quality Professional Development. Previously these were separate payments. Your bargained employment contracts or agreements for payment of teacher salary supplement funds may dictate the amount of funding paid and method of disbursement, therefore a 10% reduction may not be possible in this particular area.

These decisions must be made at the local level.
