School Board meeting summary, January 26, 2010
Carole Nielsen, director of finance, discussed the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The utilization of funds has not changed significantly since the last update to the school board in October 2009. The majority of the new resources are being used to build on existing systems within technology, training and curriculum materials.

Budget assumptions
The Board approved the 2010-2011 budget assumptions as presented by Carole Nielsen. Each year at this time, school budget committees are formed to advise each school principal on the use of resources allocated to the site from the District's budget. Along with the resource allocation, committees are given a list of parameters and timelines to guide the process and assure that budget decisions will be equitable across the District and will result in program integrity.
Also included in the budget process are specific staffing allocation assumptions that must be agreed upon in order to meet staffing notification timelines. The following assumptions are
*K-12 licensed staffing,
*intervention allocations,
*building support staff allocations,
*compensatory allocations,
*elementary staffing allocations, and
*Superintendent discretionary allocations.
