PURPOSE:
To apply criteria to programs, courses and services and advise the Executive Team on budget reductions based on these criteria.

OUTCOMES:
A review of the templates developed in response to the budget principles and criteria resulting in a set of recommendations for reductions.

SCOPE:
Recommendations to be submitted to the Executive Team by February 3, 2003.
Final recommendations are the purview of the president.
Budget decisions are approved by the board of education.

PRINCIPLES:
Group members will choose the facilitator.
Group members will ask for clarification from budget administrators of affected programs prior to making recommendations.
As much as possible, recommendations will be made by consensus.  When consensus is not possible, a recommendation should be accompanied by a report stating all positions and their rationales.
Group members will keep the discussions of the group confidential.
Group members will not share information with people outside the group, other than asking for information from department heads.  When recommendations have been finalized and published by the Executive Team, representatives may discuss them with constituents, while holding the conversation that led to the recommendations confidential.

AUTHORITY:
Recommend to Executive Team
