Discussion: How it is decided to start new programs (calls, surveys, focus groups, program evaluations). Safe Haven and the Community Learning Centers evolved over time. Role of the Advisory Committee. How new programs coming in are evaluated and in the process for budget. Only the after school programs are measured by staff to for affect on academic achievement because it is required by the grant. Each of the 100 budgets is reviewed by the director—children's programs are 50 percent self-supported and adults are 100 percent. After school and summer programming have contributed to the increased budgets over the last seven years. Differences between public financing sector, the MSCR budget, and the district's budget. Full-time salaried people are not allocated to the programs. Definition of indirect costs. Everything except people with disabilities and downhill skiing is 100 percent self-supporting. What is covered by the indirect costs—electricity, custodial support, etc. Does not include overhead support of Human Resources, Accounting, and grant finders.
