 Rationale: 
           Budget is similar-increase in staffing due to SRO, slot increase, and projects to maintain the building.

X. Old Business  
X.A. Final Budgets: Operations, RSP, IDEA & EL*  

Rationale: 

    The 2022-23 budgets include the 2% salary increase. 
    Increases in categories such as technical services, telephone & repair/maintenance are for the following projects:  Phone system, network upgrade, blacktop & small renovation projects as needed.
    IDEA- The majority of this budget is dedicated to staffing this is approximately the same amount of funds allocated for the past 7 years. Yet, we give step increases/raises and continue to provide quality services. 
    EL-The cost of the program is divided among districts requesting EL Program.  *All programs should financially stand on their own and be charged indirect. This allows cooperative staff's time to be allocated for, the cost of services such as HR, insurance, PO, etc.  For the 2022-23 school year one district is no longer requesting services. Therefore, the cost of the program had to be recalculated.
Motion Passed:  Motion to accept the final Operations, RSP, IDEA and EL budgets as presented. passed with a motion by Mr. Greg Duty and a second by Dr. Mike Stacy.
