SPED grants (mainstream, intensive, extraordinary, and EEE) were once sent to districts. That practice changed, and funds are only sent to Supervisory Unions.
SPED reimbursement is triggered by reports submitted to the Agency of Education. For FY18, 19, and now FY20 (the current year) Pittsfield SPED expenditures have been bundled into the entire WCSU reports and the SU has been getting the reimbursement.
Sherry (SPED) and Mike (Finance) at WCSU agree this has happened, and Pittsfield will be credited reimbursement on the FY20 SPED invoice.
After several months of discussion we have decided to add funding for full day pre-k to the budget this year.
Kris moves we close discussion and vote to approve the budget. Pete seconds, and the motion passes unanimously.
