Report No. 00 -154 to the Board
Re: Implementation of Budget Decision
ORIGINATORS: Director's Council of Superintendents
PURPOSE:
To recommend to trustees a proposed method for the implementation of the Board's budget decision to reduce
Instructional Supplies by an additional $1 million.
BACKGROUND:
1. The Board, at its budget meeting of March 23, 2000, approved the following motion: "That the Instructional
Supplies and Services budget be further reduced by $1 million, and that staff bring theproposed reductions to the
Board for approval. "
2. Since no direction was given as to how the $1 million reduction was to be achieved, DCS reviewed the original
proposed budgets for Instructional Supplies to determine areas that could be reduced with the least impact on
schools' operating budgets.
DCS also reviewed year -to -date and prior year's activity to locate accounts which were expected to be underspent
for 1999 -2000.
STATUS:
4. DCS's proposed implementation is attached as Appendix A.
5. None of the school budget allocations would be changed by any of these reductions. However, as with all central
budget changes, these could potentially cause schools to be billed for services formerly covered by central
accounts. It should also be noted that if the activity level in these accounts changes in 2000 -2001, some schools
could see a budget charge.
6. Approval of an implementation plan for this reduction is urgent, in order to allow staff to proceed to calculate and
distribute the 2000 -2001 school budgets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Thattrustees approve the proposed implementation plan for the $1 million reduction in Instructional Supplies as outlined
in Appendix A.
