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.
