Page 32 February 3, 1975 Mr. Rotberg suggested that a cut in this budget be made due to the state of the economy. He said prior use of theaccount by teachers indicated lack of use of funds. Mrs. Swanson suggested that some written report and follow up pro- cedure be expected of those attending conferences so all or some of the staff could benefit from these experiences. Mrs. Davison asked that the minutes show that she supported staff involvement and attendance at conferences. It was MOVED: That the Out-of-State Travel Budget be reduced from $12, 300 to $10, 100 with $200 being deducted from Category I (S. C. ) and $2, 000 being deducted from Category III (Instructional Services) (Rotberg, Swanson seconded) It was MOVED: To amend the total figure for Out of State Travel $11, 000.

The Personal Services and Expense Budgets for Special Education were reviewed in detail. Dr. Fobert outlined the present staff, the legally required staff increase of three teachers and two assistant teachers for 75-76 and a third segment containing staff needed but not legally required. He emphasized SPECIAL the approval of only what the law required would mean that the needs EDUCATION recommended by the Core Evaluation Team and programs negotiated with BUDGET parents would pot be achieved. He questioned whether we would be in violation' of what we promised parents and said staff load has to be considered in the total problem in order to ensure quality services for all. He stated that within a week he will give a complete report regarding Core Evaluation Team pro- jections of services needed as well as comparisons with services provided by other committees. Mr. Rotberg asked if our reimbursement would be •increased by whatever increase is noted over last year's reimbursement figures. Dr. Guldager responded that our reimbursement would probably not be less than the present $1, 150, 000 but questions on future funds availability are unclear due to state budget and formulas.
