  7. Necessary Changes to 2010-2011 Budget

  8. Recommended Revisions to Approved 2010-2011 Budget

  9. FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS • 1) Does the BOE wish to increase THS Guidance Department by 1.0 FTE? This means an additional salary cost of $57,000 + Benefits. This change can be made through four areas: • a) Reduction of Technology (Not recommended) • b) Reduction of other staffing (Not recommended) • c) Delay the decision until August based on final staffing models which could bring realized savings. (Option 1) • d) Lower the non-certified salary line item by $57,000. (Option 2) • 2) Do Forbes and Vogel-Wetmore make AYP based on NCLB requirements? This data will be available in July and failure to make AYP will initiate changes to Title I grant and could bring possible reductions in staffing based on sanctions. • 3) What is the final contract for non-certified employees? How does that impact the bottom line?
