Supply Budgets

Hello,
I hope this finds everyone safe and sound during our first Iowa snowstorm! Last night at the school board meeting the Linn Mar Budget Management Model was reviewed. The model lists some budget goal priorities. One of those priorities is to reduce supply and equipment budgets by 10% and eliminate or reduce purchases of supplies and services. Student Services will be implementing this priority by several means. One of those means is to reduce special education classroom supply budgets by 10%. Karen Wilson has the adjusted amounts of remaining budgets. All purchase orders will be reviewed and must be connected with specific curriculum needs and/or individual student needs.
If your classroom is planning for a field trip off the Linn Mar campus after January 1, 2010 please contact your building principal. In turn, they will contact me with any questions/concerns that may arise.
For those of you using the Unique Learning Curriculum, we will continue to monitor the number of printed copies and will reimburse the printing costs back to the building’s print budget at the end of the year. Please remember to notify Karen Wilson with the number of copies made on a monthly basis. As a reminder, these costs are budgeted through the Special Education ARRA (Stimulus) funds.
Any other questions/concerns please feel free to contact me.
Take Care,
Julie
