ESU budget, Pathfinders changes and software costs discussed in work session
Summary
Standish reviewed the Educational Service Unit budget and noted program-level changes—Pathfinders adds a teacher and reduces a para, the ESU expects contracted-service-driven expenditures (including software) and carries contingency lines for prospective federal grants.
Standish told the board the ESU maintains a separate budget that totals the referenced $18,000,000 and that expenditures are driven by contracted services (many contracts effectively pay for personnel). She said the ESU carries a contingency line to account for federal grant awards the ESU sometimes receives.
At the program level, Standish said Pathfinders will see an increase for one teacher and a reduction of a paraeducator, plus additional substitute and professional-learning costs; she added software costs appear in both the general fund and the ESU/co-op budgets and will be reflected in line-item detail available on the district website.
