Superintendent's remarks Board meeting, May 13, 2014
We received some positive adjustments to our levy equalization allocation that has enabled us, in part, to direct more support to building administrative and counseling services. We’ve been able to improve building-based resources that empower principals to make local decisions that best meet the needs of their students and staff and are consistent with their school improvement efforts around instructional quality. Our recommendations include an increase in the building differentiated-support allocations of $500,000 totaling $1.5M in 2014-15.
Our team has reviewed all of the other discretionary- and combination-revenue investments and believes these are necessary from an operations and program perspective to sustain Design II strategic initiatives.
