Description:  This is a service provided by Region 8 for professional development, technical support, and networking for campus and district leaders.  We have been a part of this coop service for several years and it is needed to secure training at an easy location and for reasonable pricing.  We originally budgeted it to 211 (Federal Fund).  After reviewing the 211 rollover from last year, as well as this year's salaries with increased benefits, there was not enough money in the Federal Fund to absorb this cost.
