AGENDA ITEM: 2008-2009 Budget

Action/Recommendations:

As everyone is aware, the proposed budget for next year is lean and will lead to changes across the board, including a reduction in staff. While Sarasota County is better off than other counties due to additional referendum dollars and PV is better off than most all schools in the county in that we are looking a slight increase in enrollment, the loss of overall funding and the lack of any School Recognition Funds to fall back on will take a toll. At this point, there is no funding for 9.6 aide positions and 3 secretarial positions. While PV is slated to gain 2 teaching positions, these will be remained unfilled as exact numbers for student enrollment are not available. A breakdown of Instructional Allocations and Technology Requests/Funding is available on the yellow and white handouts, respectively, that will be distributed and discussed at the April 22 Faculty Meetings.

AGENDA ITEM: Future Meetings

Action/Recommendations:

The next SDMT meeting is scheduled for May 8; the next SAC meeting is scheduled for May 19.
