If the Budget is Voted Down, What happens...?

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Teachers Will Still Get Paid, What Will Your Stude...":

To that regard, can someone explain how the process works if the budget gets voted down? Do they put a revised budget to vote again? What are the kinds of cuts the BOE would approve under a revised budget? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the process and am confused on the pros/ cons of rejecting the budget.

  1. If the budget gets voted down 2x then the budget goes into contingency which means that you can not raise the budget more than times inflation . Because of the market crash last year they would not be able to raise the budget at all

  2. There might not be a second vote. The BOE decides whether to propose a new budget and vote (vote costs about $10,000) or just go into a contingency budget.
