Description:
RELEVANT INFORMATION: In accordance with A.R.S. 15-905, a district may revise its budget limits. Our Maintenance and Operations Budget is increased by $281,333. This includes adjustments of an increase of $394,161. This is due to the 2% increase in our base support level per student. We also received the 2% increase to transportation. This amount equaled $27,984. Our carryover amount decreased $177,008. We are receiving reimbursement from the state for paying interest due to registering the warrants. We have paid $36,196 in interest, because of delayed state aid payments. Unrestricted Capital has an increase of $35,930. Soft Capital will increase by $10,300. Upon approval of the revised budget limits, the Arizona Department of Education will review and approve. The Revised Expenditure Budget has been attached for review.

Mr. Kevin J. Kapp, Superintendent
|

|
Description:
RELEVANT INFORMATION: Prescott Unified School District has been approached by the Prescott office of the U.S. Forest Service to serve as the fiscal agent and sponsor of a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) program for the Prescott area during the summer of 2010. The funding for the YCC program is part of the federal stimulus money being distributed through the Forest Service for YCC programs nationwide. The goal of this funding to employ both adults and young people between the ages of 15 and 18 during the summer of 2010 in a variety of national forest work projects such as trail maintenance, forest thinning/slash piling, erosion control, dam construction, etc. If approved, PUSD would manage $175,000 in funding for the YCC program, as well as manage the hiring of staff and the selection of youth for the summer work program. The district would also provide payroll services and office space for the director of the program. The school district would receive $8,000 for the management of the YCC program and also hire up to one-half of the program's adult staff from school district personnel on a priority basis. The district would also be able to fill up to one-half of the 40 youth positions with the YCC program from our own high school-aged youth at Prescott High School and Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy. The IGA has been reviewed by the Yavapai County Attorney's Office and deemed legal and appropriate for this partnership. A finalized copy of the agreement will be e-mailed to board members prior to the meeting.
