FY23 Proposed Budget Discussion

Alina Chester - I met with Dr. Davis and Marlene Vicente today to discuss the budget. The budget is based on 157 students which we need to maintain until after FTE. Currently we will receive 1.9 million from the state and about $839,00 in grant funds. About $500,000 are ESSER funds which will expire in 2024. We added in Title I and Title IV which came to about $18,000. Our ESE teacher resigned and Dr. Davis has received his SPED Certification and will oversee the program. He hired a SPED Para who will provide the services for the students. @Pardes Sulaiman This may or may not be a question that you can answer Alina but will there be enough coverage with Dr. Davis being the person handling this role with all of his other responsibilities. Alina Chesters response was that Dr.Davis will only be overseeing the program, the SPED Para will be providing the services. The Nurse also resigned her position and Dr. Davis has decided not to fill her role with a permanent employee. He will look into using contracted services. State funding is adding up to about $12,600 per student and if we add about another $6,000 in grant funds per student we are looking pretty good financially. Tight but we will be able to maintain .
