Mr McKnight (OC board chair): Have absorbed cuts previously, cannot absorb more without teacher cuts.Dr. Kelley (CHC board chair): OC values education. Urge BoCC to show that by keeping per pupil funding flat. Dr Pederson (CHC super): want flat, some expenses unavoidable higher. 48.1% was set when school budget was over 50% and put in as floor (target). Worst case scenario is $5m reduction. Education is base for county economy. Consider an investment.
