Other Business:
Bu___d~ets -- 1986-87 -- Board of Education. Dr. Giandomenico, Mr. Freeman and
members of the Board of Education appeared to present their budget and to
answer any questions which the Board members might have.
Linda Olson opened by welcoming the Board of Finance. Or. Giandomenico opened
in discussion by presenting issues on the overhead projector. The total increase
in the 1986-87 Budget is $857,000. Its the lowest increase they have asked for
and they feel they are not wasting the taxpaye~money in what they're asking for.
An explanation was given on the overall budget. Soma of the topics discussed were;
Equipment - Site Improvement. The reason for an increase in this area would be
to keep the equipment updated. Education requirements are changing, thus the
need for new equipment to meet these standards. Some new items are more
Important than replacement ones to upgrade a program. Facility upgrading and
site improvement: This is to maintain the facilities in the schools, Dr.
Glandome~ico stated that of the total $857,000 increase requested in the budget,
nearly half of it would be going for salaries. It was also noted there was a
decrease In Fringe benefits this year.
There is a considerable Increase in field trips for the upcoming year. It is felt
very strongly Ehat these field trips are n~st important for the students. Major
part of the cost is transportation. C.C.S.U. is working closely with the students
on these field trips and a good portion goes there. No longer are the students being
sent on insignificant field trips, but the concern lies wholly In educating them
further through these trips.
