ANSWER:

The FY 2015 Superintendent’s Operating Budget includes $1,182,647 to support the Crossway Community Montessori Charter School.  The closure of the charter school at the end of this school year will result in a reduction to the FY 2015 Operating Budget of $955,890.  This funding supports administrative, clerical, and building services position salaries, as well as consultant services, contractual services, supplies and materials, furniture and equipment, and related employee benefits.  The remaining budget of $226,757 will be required for continued support of these students. This amount will provide for teacher and paraeducator positions, substitutes, and related employee benefits. This and other amendments will be forwarded to the Board of Education prior to its final action on February 11, 2014.
