Budget



**Budget and Funding **  The District is committed to a long-term financial plan that will provide students and staff with appropriate technology to support the teaching and learning process and to safeguard the community’s investment. With high levels of technology integration comes the challenge of responding to financial needs. This includes not only the initial purchase price of equipment but upgrade and replacement of hardware and software as it becomes obsolete and/or fails to operate properly.

Software licenses must be purchased or renewed. Software programs are updated to support changing needs. Maintenance of the infrastructure to support communication and Internet use, along with staff training on the use of the equipment, software, and instructional strategies for the integration of this technology into the curriculum are essential. The primary support for the district’s technology initiatives is the // general fund budget // that is mostly funded through // local tax revenues //. The district will continue to evaluate all possible sources of financial support to meet the needs of our technology plan. A summary of the major technology budget categories projected for the next three years is provided below.   The highlights of the technology budget include:
 * Summary District Technology Budget || 2007-2008 || 2008-2009 || 2009-2010 ||

• Providing current tools of technology to administrators, teachers, support staff, and students and in workable condition. • Creating a technologically literate workforce which includes administrators, teachers, and support staff, through professional development. • Creating a student body that demonstrates technology competencies • Enhancing instruction and the teaching and learning process with technology • Enhancing communication between and among administrators, parents, teachers, staff, and students.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">In addition to recurring general fund sources, special technology funding is available from federal and state programs and grants. A three-year history of technology funding is summarized in the table below.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Projecting actual dollar amounts and timing of receipt for special technology funding is difficult. For example, E-rate funding and BOCES aid may not be received at least a year after its award and then subject to downward revisions. Therefore, such funds are not included in the technology budgeting process for ongoing support and important new projects <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Strategies that will be employed to coordinate available state and local resources to implement activities and acquisitions prescribed in the technology plan

A District that is large in size and diverse in student population is eligible for a wide range of state and federal funds to support teaching, learning, and management of District educational environments and administration. In addition, district leadership should always be monitoring other potential funding sources to support the implementation of the District Technology Plan. Identification of revenue streams is one way of securing funds for future initiatives; another includes stretching existing funds to go further, thus enabling dollars saved to be redirected. The following sections outline both present and future funding sources that can be tapped to advance the initiatives outlined in this technology plan.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">A budget for funding aspects of the //Instructional Technology Plan// can be developed based upon a set of assumptions for software, hardware, and maintenance services. Major assumptions that should be used in developing this budget are outlined below. It should be noted that, at the time of this writing, the District has applied for federal E-rate discounts to be applied to the building of wide-area, and local area networks. These discounts will have a major impact on the any technology plan budget. In determining an accurate overall cost of the instructional technology program, the following process needs to be followed: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Accurately identify the population to be served <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Establish technology target levels <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Identify accurate standards and cost per unit for equipment that meets standards <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Determine total needed <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Deduct existing resources meeting standards <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Calculate unmet need <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Determine phase-in by year <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> Identify funding sources
