Kelly -- more

ISD salaries -- they try to achieve the relative reference group, which are other districts they compare themselves to -- they want to be at the midpoint, not too high.

Rate greater than CPI because of escalating health coverage cost.

Last table on this sheet for special education - Special education remains underfunded.

Districts did receive enhancements statewide for better special education.

In 2006-2007 they received reimbursement for expenses 2 years late. However, this year, they will get it during the current school year.

Are special education funds available for something else. Can we cut back expenses 12% to use just the same level. We get between 4-5 million per year from federal funds.
