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
