Budget questions

Monfredo motion for a consideration of indirect cost rate of 1%
motion to contact the Senate regarding a full funding of the charter budget, by taking the money away from the additional $40 from the less needy districts
wants preschools, smaller classes

O'Connell
contact Senate
ALL urban centers should do likewise
budget which is predicated on 0% costs from the city: to eliminate the gap created
"roll that figure back to an average of 1%"
what would the administration do with the funds?
minimum level as minimum or absolute minimum
Are we subtracting and adding positions under Title III? Yes, we can fund teaching coaches but not office positions.
school choice: the money that comes to us this year to balance the budget
past year money we may choose to allocate

Foley
May 9 budget hearing
"city may be meeting its statutory requirements, but is not meeting" other agreements
16 teachers to be assigned as yet
"there will need to be some sort of reimbursement developed" from the grant reimbursement
city is taken a credit of $5.8 m : a percentage of all of their expenses
DESE would prefer that we take a per pupil cost rather than a percentage: would save
