Election Results Improve Budget Outlook

02/05/10 – With millions of dollars in funding for local schools on the line in the recent statewide special election, Lane County voters continued our community’s long history of support for school funding and voted resoundingly in favor of Measures 66 and 67.

Through the state school funding formula, 4J will receive approximately $8.5 million from the revenue generated by the tax measures to help support current school services. The revenue expected from the two tax measures is already included in the state funding allocated to schools for the 2009–10 and 2010–11 school years. The Budget Committee will meet again on February 8 to discuss updated revenue projections and strategies to address the remaining budget deficit.
