4. Student Services Department as it relates to the Budget
Carol distributed the packet of materials on the Student Services Department. She presented the information on the overhead discussion. There were a number of questions about the Alcohol and Drug Program – what the nature of the grant was and what it supported. There was a long discussion about all of the alternative programs – who they served; how they were funded; how they fit into the overall goals of the district. There was considerable discussion about whether the Board should ask for cost of each program, including apportioned cost of overhead (utilities, custodial services, etc.). There were a number of questions (listed at the end) that will be addressed at the next meeting.
There was a general discussion about whether the district should solicit and use more private funds (from foundations and wealthy individuals) for a greater portion of its basic operating budget.
Questions for next time:
1. Get copies of the book on the Board priorities for distribution.
2. How are students in the Diploma Completion Program counted for state purposes?
3. Who reimburses the district for the Jail/Huber teachers – DPI or Corrections?
