Adult-education director outlines small subsidy drop and staffing shifts to balance program
Summary
Adult education director Josh Farr said a slight reduction in state subsidy (about $2,000) is expected and described catalog-printing and staffing-hour changes that will keep the program near break-even; he said unallocated funds may be used for one-off needs.
Josh Farr, director of adult education, presented the adult-ed budget and program adjustments for the coming year.
Farr said the program is facing a "slight reduction" in state subsidy — about $2,000 — which approximates the additional local funding request. He described operational shifts: sharing catalog printing with neighboring districts, producing three smaller catalogs instead of two, and reallocating hours from a full-time administrative assistant to increase instructor hours.
Farr said the program will continue to use unallocated funds carried from prior enrichment activity "when we do have done enrichment in the past and have been set aside," and described modest software purchases for communications. The board thanked Farr, and no immediate supplemental motions were introduced.
