·      Presented to Board:  June 25, 2003                             Agenda Item:  13A-1

·       Purchase Orders Issued:  $546,603

·       The revised estimated expenditure is requested to be increased by $990,000 for a total of $1,590,000.  The current budget has sufficient funds to cover estimated costs in the fiscal year.  No additional budget funds are required.

·       Reason for Increase:  The need for this service has increased as a result of having to provide full-time contracted speech services to several schools which have been unable to meet the increased caseloads utilizing the speech pathologist they employed.

Financial Impact:
The additional financial impact to the General Fund Budget is estimated at $990,000.  The source of funds is the Exceptional Student Education Department budget.
