Budget
1. Local: Our EGRPS Schools are again facing a budget
deficit over $1 million. Please attend
the March 11, 2013 budget meeting at 5pm at the Morse Administrative Building 2915
Hall Street SE East Grand Rapids, MI 49506. www.egrps.org Look for information coming from EGR NOW! To support
our district. Not from our
district? Get your district to be
transparent about your budget crisis and educate your parents. We can’t fund raise our way out of this
problem. Let’s all get on board!!
2. State: How can there be a cut if the governor
says there was more money in the School Aid Fund? There are more entities taking money out of
the pot, such as the community colleges and universities, which used to be
funded through the State’s general fund.

3. National:
Sequestration will affect federal dollars to states. Special education, Head Start and Title I
dollars are at risk. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/sequestration-state-impact/
