PresentationDiscussion

Mister Bakke updated the board that the district reduced overall costs by about $280,000 and balanced the program budget without adding general-fund dollars by shifting AVID (a district initiative) professional-development salary and benefits from Title IV to allowable Title II federal funds; a coordinator role was reclassified to director, which affected funding eligibility. Board members asked whether the Title IV shortfall was anticipated when the position change was decided.
