The Honorable John King, Jr. 

Secretary of Education 

U.S. Department of Education 

400 Maryland Avenue, SW 

Washington, D.C. 20202 

Dear Secretary King: 

The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is requesting a waiver of the maintenance of state 

financial support provision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) for the 2013-

2014 and 2014-2015 school years, FFY13 and FFY14. IDEA implementing regulations at 34 CFR § 300.163 

require a state may not reduce the amount of financial support for special education and related services 

for children with disabilities below the amount of support for the preceding fiscal year. Further, this 

section permits the Secretary to grant a waiver when it would be equitable due to exceptional or 

uncontrollable circumstances such as an unforeseen decline in the financial resources of the state. 

WVDE has worked with budget issues throughout the many recent school years in an attempt to avoid 

cuts to special education funding. Attached documentation supports budget shortfalls and a precipitous 

downturn in the state's economy. 

On August 3, 2012, a memorandum from the Department of Revenue predicted a pending budget shortfall 

and indicated the FY2013 budget request for the Department of Education should reflect a 7.5% cut. 

During the same fiscal year, on January 3, 2014, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin issued an Executive Order to 

revise current year (FY2013) budgets to reflect an additional cut to certain departments, including the 

Department of Education by a minimum amount of $3,340,000. (See attached documentation.) 

Similarly, on August 5, 2013, a memorandum from the Department of Revenue again predicted a pending 

budget shortfall and indicated the FY2014 budget request for the Department of Education should reflect 

another 7.5% cut. And again, during FY2014, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin issued an Executive Order to 

revise current year budgets to reflect an additional cut to the Department of Education by a minimum 

amount of $2AS3,000. (See attached documentation.) 

Although education spending takes priority over other state expenditures in the state budget and within 

the Department of Education, with such severe and continuous cuts ordered, the level of funding for 

Special Education was cut in two specific areas. The affected accounts included Special 

Education/Institutions and the WV Schools for the Deaf and the Blind . The table below displays state 

support for exceptional children, which may include both students with disabilities and those identified

to allow reduction of $583,425 and $117,167, respectively, in the state level of support. 

Respectfully,

Department of Revenue 

SL13JECT: FY 2014 Appropriation Request 

DATE: August 3, 2012 

The Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriation Request Instructions provide direction for the preparation of the Governor's FY 2014 

Executive Budget, which will be submitted to the Legislature during the Regular Legislative Session in February 2013. 

Balancing the upcoming FY 2014 Budget will be a challenge that requires fiscal discipline. Recent projections show a 

significant funding gap for FY 2014. Simply stated, anticipated revenues are not expected to keep pace with costs for 

current programs. Due to the recent sluggish national economy and a slowdown in the mining of coal, general revenues are 

projected to grow by less than I%. Moreover, as we have long expected, competition by bordering states is anticipated to 

lead to a decline of lottery revenues by 4% for FY 2014. 

In the face of these revenue challenges, expenditures at current program base levels for FY 2014 are expected to grow by 

9% of current FY 2013 base budgets. At this time, our current Medicaid program alone requires additional funding of over 

$180 million above its FY 2013 base appropriation. Importantly, these costs are not related to any Medicaid expansion. 

Increased funding will also be needed for our retirement systems because investment returns last fiscal year were below the 

actuarially assumed 7.5%. 

The strength of the State's Rainy Day Funds and our philosophy of conservative fiscal management have us well 

positioned to handle the challenges presented with the FY 2014 budget. Nevertheless, consistent with our commitment to 

provide a balanced budget and long-term fiscal stability, we as a State must take measures to reduce the overall FY 2014 

expenditure growth and position the State to balance budgets in the years that follow. Therefore, targeted reductions are 

required at this time. 

Budget reductions are never easy. But, as good financial stewards, there are times when we must do more with Jess. I know 

that you are up to the challenge. In fact, we recently ended FY 2012 spending $12 million less than authorized by the 

Legislature. We must continue to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. 

Generally speaking, General Revenue and Regular Lottery Revenue FY 2014 budget requests must be submitted at 

• 92.5% (7.5% reduction) of the FY 2013 base budget (FY 2013 appropriation less any one-time appropriations). As 

mentioned above, targeting these reductions as a one-size fits aU approach is not appropriate at this time. 

Therefore, at this time you may anticipate the reductions will not apply to all funds and the following funds will be 

excluded from the 7.5% reduction:

Departmental Secretaries and Bureau Commissioners may adjust expenditures among funds/ agencies/ programs as 

deemed necessary as long as rheir department/bureau's total for General Revenue and Regular Lottery Funds is equal to 

or less than 92.5% of rhe FY 2013 base budget (adjusted for exemptions noted above). Any movement of funds and the 

impact of the budget reductions should be fully explained in the justification!impact of budget cuts summary to be 

included with your appropriation request submission, i.e. how staffing is affected, proposed elimination of programs, 

etc. 

Consistent with rhe direction presented above, any requests for improvements or supplemental appropriations should be 

submitted only after careful review. Only in rare cases will rhese requests be considered. Additional state funding should 

not be requested to replace lost federal funding. 

Again, we must be committed to fiscal discipline over the long term. Therefore, agencies must be diligent in controlling 

spending and maintaining programs rhat are sustainable and not rely on additional state funding for FY 2014.

SUBJECT: FY 2015 Appropriation Request 

DATE: August 5, 2013 

The Fiscal Year 20 IS Appropriation Request Instructions provide direction fo r the preparation of the Governor's FY 2015 

Executive Budget, which will be submitted to the Legislature during the Regular Legislative Session in January 2014. 

Fiscal Year 20IS is a landmark year for the West Virginia budgeting process. It marks the beginning of the State's new 

accounting system known as wvOASIS. Budget Development is the first module of the system to "go-live" and will pave 

the way for the complete integration of the State 's administrative functions including finance, human resources/ payroll, 

and procurement. 

The initial entry for the FY 2015 request for all funds in Budget Development must be submitted in the wvOASIS 

system at 100% of the FY 2014 base budget (FY 2014 appropriation less any onetime appropriations). 

However, balancing the upcoming FY 201S General Revenue Budget will be a challenge that requires fiscal discipline. 

Recent projections show a significant funding gap for FY 20 IS. Simply stated, anticipated revenues are not expected to 

keep pace with the costs of current programs, due to the recent sluggish national economy and a slowdown in the mining 

of coal. Moreover, as we have long anticipated, the trend of declining lottery revenues will continue in FY 201S due to 

competition in bordering states. 

In the face of these revenue challenges, expenditures at current program base levels for FY 2015 are expected to grow. At 

this time, our current Medicaid program alone requires additional funding of almost $100 million above its FY 2014 base 

appropriation . It should be noted that these costs are not related to any Medicaid expansion. 

The strength of the State's Rainy Day Funds and our ph ilosophy of conservative fiscal management have us well 

positioned to handle the challenges presented with the FY 20 15 budget. :--fevertheless, consistent with our commitment 

to provide a balanced budget and long-term fiscal stability, we as a State must continue to take measures that reduce the 

overall FY 2015 expenditure growth and position the State to balance budgets in the years that follow. Although budget 

reductions are never easy, we must continue to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Therefore targeted reductions are 

again required at this time.

As a second Appropriation Request, each General Revenue and Regular Lottery Revenue funded 

department must also provide a separate scenario-using the form available on the State Budget Office 

website-to .s~a 7.5% reduction and the consequences of such a reduction (see pae;e 4 for further 

instructions). 

At this time, you may anticipate tha t the reductions will not apply to all funds within General Revenue and 

Regular Lottery Revenue and the following fund/ appropriations will be excluded from the 7.5% reduction 

scenario:

Cabinet Secretaries and Bureau Commissioners may adjust expenditures among funds/ agencies/ programs as 

deemed necessary as long as their department/bureau's total for General Revenue and Regular Lottery Funds is 

equal to or less than 92.5% of the FY 2014 base budget (adjusted for exemptions noted above). Any movement 

of funds and the impact of the budget reductions should be fully explained in the comments on the Budget 

Reduction Scenario form to be included with your appropriation request submission (i.e. how staffing is 

affected, proposed elimination of programs, etc.). 

Any requests for improvements or supplemental appropriations should be submitted only after careful review. Only in rare 

cases will these requests be considered. Additional state funding should not be requested to replace lost federal funding. 
Again, we must be committed to fiscal discipline over the long term. Therefore, agencies must be diligent in controlling 

spending and maintaining programs that are sustainable and not rely on additional state funding for FY 20 15. 

The requests are due on or before September Jrd, 2013. Extensions cannot be granted per W.va. Code §118-2-3. 

Each cabinet/ bureau / constitutional office and other selected agencies will be contacted at a later date by my office to 

schedule a budget hearing.
