JCPS Comprehensive School Improvement Planning - Budget2007-08 Projected Budget Allocations:
After reviewing your school's budget allocations, please complete the required budget worksheets for each program listed below. Budget Worksheets for State and Federal Funds:Flexible Focus Fund (FFF) Worksheet:In order to give you maximum flexibility with your funds, the District is again providing schools the opportunity to decide how to distribute their combined Extended School Services (ESS), Professional Development (PD), and Textbooks (Elementary and Middle only) allocations. Since the actual FY08 allocations are not yet known, we are using 100% of the current year's allocations. However, due to district initiatives and changes in student population, free & reduced lunch counts, and CATS scores individual school allocations may go up or down. The final allocation will be adjusted based on the actual amount of funding received by JCPS. Using the site-based budget entry screens, please distribute your total FFF allocation between the programs from March 12th to March 16th. Please keep in mind this is a one-time opportunity to distribute funds between the programs. Once you have distributed the funding, please complete the worksheets below for ESS and Textbooks and send them to John Freeman at
IMPORTANT NOTES The line item budget distributed in MUNIS must match the line item budget listed on the worksheets. If they do not match, the budget in MUNIS will be changed to match the worksheets. The Purchasing Plan Forms (A, B, B-1, and C) must be completed and returned by Friday, March 16, 2007 to John Freeman at the Gheens Academy or faxed to 3628. If you have questions regarding how to complete the forms, please contact Paul Lanata at 3090.If the budget in MUNIS is changed in order to match the worksheets, then the Professional Development allocation will be calculated as follows: PD Allocation = Total FFF Allocation Textbooks Allocation ESS Allocation Please use whole dollars only when budgeting the funds. Extended School Services Worksheets:All schools are allocated Extended School Service (ESS) funds based on a specific formula involving academic need, student population and the number of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Every school must have an ESS program for academically at-risk students needing additional instructional time to meet their academic goals (K-12). To qualify for services, a student must be performing below grade level in reading or math or endanger of failing. ESS funds can be used to directly support the ESS program in the areas of teaching, instructional materials, student transportation, snacks, parent involvement and professional development related to the program. No funds may be used for the purposes of capital outlay or computer hardware. Funds may be used for before school, after school, intersession, or Saturday programs. With the prior approval of KDE, funds may also be used for a daytime program. Every school's Comprehensive Plan must reference ESS and tell when the program will take place and how the program will be structured. Below is the file containing the ESS Allocation Worksheet and Program Report. These two items are used to compile budget and program information required by KDE. These forms may be helpful to you as you plan for your ESS services. You may want to include the completed forms in your Comprehensive Plan (ESS should be embedded in your plan).
