7. FY16 Integration Revenue & Budget Update:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith
Description:
I have received our preliminary Integration revenue for FY16 and should receive the budget worksheet in the near future.  Our revenue for next year is $51,567 not including the Incentive Revenue that we did not qualify for last year.
Our intent with this revenue is to use it to continue to fund the math position (Mr. Carlson four sections) that was implemented during this current fiscal year.  The budget for this program is to be submitted to MDE by March 15th so we will likely have this as an action item for the February meeting.
