Budget Narrative The budget reductions are presented across four programs within the CoE: Early Childhood Special Education Health and Physical Education Middle Grades Education School Counselor Education The reduction consist of reductions in all of the listed areas, with the overriding goal of maintaining all personnel.

Budget Narrative The College of Education has operated within the confines of severe budget reductions since the university’s first phase of budget and program reductions in 2010. $250,000 was subtracted from the budget as a result of faculty retirement and non-renewal of contracts. These essential positions were swept from the budgets and have not been restored. $30,000 of essential operating budget funds was swept. The reauthorization of duties, instruction, and instructional obligations were assigned to faculty and staff to ensure that student and program services were still met. The CoE is operating at the simplest level of faculty and staff.

Budget Narrative Any further budget reductions imposed on the College of Education have implications for adverse effects on accreditation standards. A need for a Zero-Budget planning system will help to examine and budget effectively for the additional $16,000.00 needed to ensure accreditation obligations are met.
