Superintendent’s Comments: Superintendent Kevin Ivers reported that on July 17, 2008, the Senate approved the Conference Report on Senate Bill 1107 (the appropriations bill for FY 2008-09 for the School Aid Fund). The House is expected to vote on the Conference Report on July 23. The report includes a foundation allowance increase ranging from $56 for the highest funded districts (us) to $112 for the lowest funded districts (our Schools of Choice students). We budgeted $60/$120 per student so the Senate Bill is slightly less than we projected.
Seventy-seven students have been accepted into the Schools of Choice program for the 2008-09 school year.
Claudia Ortiz, BES special education teacher, has accepted a teaching position at Berrien RESA.
