In addition to standard program maintenance items, this budget includes $230,600 for Replacement Items, funded with one-time monies from the Economic Recovery Reserve Fund. There is also a fund shift between endowment funds and the General Fund (line item #2), to better reflect the amount of endowment funding that will be available in FY 2007.
With enrollment at the school standing at barely half of its level of 15 years ago, in spite of an overall growth in student population in Idaho, the current level of staffing at the campus facility can no longer be justified. Under line item #3, this budget transfers 5.19 positions and $171,100 from Campus Operations to Outreach Services. This reflects reducing the number of cottages from six to four, reducing food service staff from six to four, and reducing three of the five custodial positions from year-round to school-year only.
