General Operating Fund Summary & Estimated Days in Fund Balance Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Projections (in Millions) Fiscal Year 2019-2020 revenue projections are based on current funding law; projected expenditures are held at current fiscal year levels, with no salary increases and without restoring prior year budget cuts. The $10.9 million deficit is due in large part to reverting the M&O tax rate from $1.06 to $1.04, a slight decrease in enrollment coupled with a conservative growth in property values, and a loss of the additional revenue generated through the SCE counts during Hurricane Harvey.
