Of particular interest were funds allocated to various new or <br />expanded programs identified in each school district's requested budget, and differences between <br />funds requested and ultimately allocated to these programs. The Board also was specifically <br />interested in brief explanations of the objectives and expected outcomes of any new or expanded <br />programs, in addition to information about the dollars allocated to those programs. <br />The two school systems have provided the attached written reports on their 1997 -98 objectives. <br />School and County staff collaborated in developing the attached spreadsheets which summarize <br />how funding was allocated to school programs. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Boards receive the reports as <br />information. <br />
