GENERAL EDUCATION – GRADES K-12<br />
MAJOR GOALS<br />

building administration, secretarial and clerical supports and elementary teaching staff.<br />
BUDGET NOTES<br />
The General <strong>Education</strong> budget for <strong>2013</strong>-<strong>2014</strong> represents a reduction on the program side due to reductions in pr<strong>of</strong>essional development for<br />
elementary teachers as well as administrators. The implementation <strong>of</strong> the K-5 Early Release Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development Model will allow us to<br />
reduce consultant fees and other school-based pr<strong>of</strong>essional development, including substitute expenses. Additionally, the start-up costs for full<br />
day kindergarten related to program materials will be funded primarily through grants.<br />
With the implementation <strong>of</strong> full day kindergarten personnel expenses have increased, although the amount <strong>of</strong> this increase has been partially <strong>of</strong>fset<br />
by grant funding and a reduction in three general education teachers at the elementary level due to decreased enrollment. The personnel decrease at<br />
the high school is due the reallocation <strong>of</strong> funds to school counseling.<br />
