The committee reviewed the preliminary draft of the projected 15-16 Budget.
1. Short from meeting target of 56.54% to be in compliance with the 50% Law. So far we are at 55.91%
2. Restricted and Unrestricted lottery dollars: this is beneficial to the school as it takes money out of the denominator for the 50% Law. Helps to meet the 50% Law target.
3. High Level Category includes: Athletics net, Equipment for wellness center, Floor and roof repair for Forum and either SM 101A or SM 101B, and a new van and a new car.
a. Left out: CTE Nursing equipment, and furniture for the Forum.
4. Debt Services and OAM:
a. Received a 0% interest loan for Solar Project but will have to pay back the principal loan
b. $200,000 budgeted for Debt service payment
c. $18,000 for the operation and maintenance cost for the solar. Might not realize the SCE cost savings for the 15-16 year as the Solar will not be switched on until December. Budget wise did not decrease the amount for electricity.

a. $300,000 budgeted to help fund a portion of the paving the stadium parking lots.
