Food Service We have been formally asked to provide food for the Early Childhood Development Center (Little Sprouts) at the Community Center I am working with Little Sprouts administration to develop the details and an interlocal agreement The plan is to charge the same amount we charge a student in Kindergarten Their long-term plan is to provide food for their program … PPS is merely a short-term solution

Budget 2017-18 budget Budget authority override for 18-19 or 19-20?? We are allowed to grow $72,000 Projected General Fund budget increases are $210,000 We will likely have to trim our budget by $138,000, because we will likely be not allowed to grow our budget by more than $72,000 Very doable in 17-18, but not sure about 18-19 and beyond Budget authority override for 18-19 or 19-20?? We don’t have a revenue problem, we have an expenditure problem
