Mrs. Chandler reviewed the budget. Mrs. Chandler informed the Board that every account was balanced. Mrs. Chandler is hopeful the District will be able to save a little this year. This year will be a lean year and Mrs. Chandler stated her budget was a “lean, mean budget.” Mrs. Chandler stated the District will receive less state aide this year. The Title I grant had a large carryover; we will receive $1,000 less on Reading Improvement grant; $11,000 less on the Pre-K grant; and we will receive more on the Bi-lingual grant because of our population.

- We are not sure how much we will receive from the State or exactly when we will receive the monies
