FY 2010-11 Budget
Federal Education Jobs Fund
August 16, 2010
The state of North Carolina is expecting to receive nearly $300 million in funding from the federal Education Jobs Fund.
Of that amount, the projected sum that Durham Public Schools anticipates is approximately $6.1 million. Restrictions for these funds are that they are to be used only to retain existing employees, to recall or rehire former employees, and to hire new employees for the purpose of providing early childhood, elementary and secondary educational and related services.
This is a one-time allocation and will not alleviate the serious budget challenges that we will face in the 2011-12 school year.
Once the actual funding amount is confirmed by the state Department of Public Instruction, DPS will consider where and how these funds can best be allocated to serve our mission of providing the highest quality instruction for our students.

On June 28, the Durham Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the budget for fiscal year 2010-2011. The new budget, effective July 1, 2010, includes a tax increase that will help save jobs for Durham Public Schools (DPS). Increased funding for DPS is the largest portion of a 3.78 cent property tax rate increase. The property tax rate for fiscal year 2010-2011 will be 74.59 cents; 3.07 cents of the increase will support an increase to DPS’ current expense funding and 0.71 cents will support debt service for the County.
