FY 2008-09 Adult Education Budget

Adult Education Program Director,

We communicated in the May issue of News to Use that Kentucky Adult Education’s FY 2008-09 state appropriation was reduced six percent ($1.5 million).  As a result, the Core Services funding formula will be calculated with the six percent reduction to establish the Revised FY 2008-09 Core Services Base.  

However, KYAE will support the difference (loss) in FY 2008-09 with Federal Carry Forward (non-recurring) funds.  This support will enable programs and services to continue at the FY 2007-08 funding level for the coming fiscal year, except for those counties involved in the three-year funding reduction phase-in due to changes in the funding formula methodology.

There is no guarantee of supplemental funding for FY 2009-10.  All possible efforts should be made to budget recurring costs within the Revised FY 2008-09 Core Services Base amount rather than the Total FY 2008-09 Core Services amount.

New budget and personnel worksheets are required if: 

• the county’s FY 2008-09 Core Services funding is less than the FY 2007-08 Core Services funding, due to the funding reduction phase-in; or
• based on this information, you wish to adjust the budget submitted as part of the request for proposal process.

Revised budget and personnel worksheets should be submitted via e-mail to Leah Hymer by July 18, 2008.
