Proposed Amendments
- 321.1 Professional Development - $5,500 left
- 324 Contracted Service - Technology Specialist - Technology lab it ~$3K per month recommendation increasing this line by $30K to at least support that for the remainder of the year.
- 410.2 Waste - increase to support $700 per month for Waste Management
- 430 Repair and Maintenance - there is $29K left To the extent insurance doesn't cover this, we may need to increase the budget here, but I think we can hold for now.
- 530.7 Marketing - the YTD spend is mostly Indeed ads for Staff recruitment. There is only $2,100 left here, so if we anticipate needing a budget for spring recruiting, this should be increased.
- 610.2 Instructional supplies - there is $5,400 left here. Recommend increasing $10,000. One of the reasons the YTD spend is high is the Maker Space cart purchase that was reimbursed with GEER funds which will offset this expense
Teyardia LeRoy arrived at 6:22 PM.
