Technology Budget Approval By:  Jodi Blackman

·         Englewood Technology Budget and Spending

·         Budget:                $12,000                 2014-15

·         Budget:                $10,000                 2013-14

·         Actual:                  $2,462                   2014-15

·         Proposed:           $25,502

·         Difference:         $9,538

·         Difference:         $15,502

o   We can justify the difference in spending the extra $15,502 in 14-15 because of the $9,538 that was left from 13-14.  This $9,538 was absorbed into the carryover of $39,594 that we started 2014-15 with.

o   In order to fully fund the technology needed we would need to pull $15,502 from the reserves. 

o   This additional $5,502, above and beyond our $10,000 reserve amount would be no problem due to the fact that year-to-date we are already $15,973 ahead of budgeted income, without Family Fun Night.  We are also $26,000 below in expenses with only 4 months left of the year.

o   Items purchased from technology budget in 2013-14/2014-15 include:

§  2 Smart Boards

§  35 Chrome Books and Software

§  1 cart for Chrome Books

§  33 iPad Mini’s

§  Licenses for all

§  Cases for all

·         Total spent on Technology for 2013-14/2014-15    $27,964

·         1^st Motion to Approve:  Michelle Lewis

·         2^nd Motion to Approve: Samuel Pino

·         All in favor

Classroom “Theme Basket” Auction

The Family Fun Night and Silent Auction this year will feature Themed Baskets filled with contributions from students and families of Englewood. The money raised will help pay for PTC funded events and supplies; Field trips, classroom enrichment, technology, after school family nights, art, and other supplies not allocated by the district.

The auction will take place at the Family Fun Night, Friday, May 1^st.         

The baskets need items in all price ranges – it’s up to you what you can and want to donate. Gift cards are always a good idea! You don’t necessarily have to buy something – a recipe or perhaps “recycled items” for art supplies work too. You could also partner with other parents to purchase a larger item. Talk to your child’s teacher if you’re interested in helping to purchase the basket (or theme-related container) for your grade’s basket. Or maybe ask a local business to donate something that fits. Be creative! 

Donations are due to your child’s class by Friday, April 24^th. We can’t wait to see all the great things you and your kids come up with! 

Questions? Please contact Mary Hanson at volunteeratenglewood@gmail.com
