questioned the computer overexpenditure in the budget. L. Biron stated they had been charged to one
line instead of spread over the two lines that comprised the budgeted amount

May. We should know the impact by the
May budget committee meeting. L. Biron
stated that many of the older maint. Items from the prior years warrant

The
committee again discussed the charging of electrical costs in ’04-’05 incurred
for inputting the trailer at Cutler to SPED accounts. The budget oversight committee members felt
that charging this to private tuitions in the SPED accounts was not
appropriate. For the trailer put in at
the high school in the ’05-’06 year, the amounts were backed out of Private
tuitions in SPED and charged to a separate line in the SPED accounts that was
budgeted at 0, and will therefore be overspent in the ’05-’06 budget. A motion was made by N. Moriarty to bring
forth a recommendation to the full budget committee regarding having this
amount included in Building capital instead of SPED. Seconded
by D. Bauries. Vote 2 for, and 1
