1. TAG School Budgets
TAGAC Meeting
Nov. 12, 2013

2. Basis for Budgets Individual school budgets are based on:
Type and size of school
Number of years experience of the TAG coordinator
Extended Responsibility with Fringe
Whether the school has an AP
We first determine the “Type” of school - whether a school is Elementary, Middle, or High School before determining allocations.  Then, the “Size” comes into play for Elementary Schools.

3. Type and Size of School Elementary Schools Middle Schools High Schools
A schools: 400+ students
