MAJOR GOALS<br />

BUDGET NOTES<br />
The middle school program budget increase is due to uniform replacements for the cross country program and an increase in costs for supplies and<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficial fees. The high school program budget includes the addition <strong>of</strong> the girls and boys swimming programs and boys junior varsity volleyball,<br />
but also includes the elimination <strong>of</strong> gymnastics due to the lack <strong>of</strong> student participation. In addition, further reductions were made to the high<br />
school budget to more closely align with actual expenditures.<br />
The high school personnel budget shows an increase due to the new stipends for girls and boys swimming as well as the boys junior varsity<br />
program.<br />
