SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Increase in personnel ($121,292) is primarily due to two auto mechanics being charged to the Schools for repair and maintenance on School support vehicles.
  • Increase in non-personnel is attributed to the increased cost of equipment replacement ($45,690), outside repairs ($35,000) and employee training ($3,000).
  • Increase in Inter-Departmental charges ($149,094) is due to the annual charge back for maintenance on school support vehicles now being included in the rental book.
