The appropriation for the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind includes $105,700 for the increased cost of employee health insurance. Nonstandard Adjustments include increases in Attorney General fees, risk management fees, State Treasurer fees, and outreach office lease costs, and a reduction in State Controller fees. This appropriation also reflects the General Fund picking up costs previously carried by revenue from the Charitable Endowment Fund, since this particular endowment’s Earnings Reserve Fund is currently in a negative cash position. This General Fund cost has been offset by increasing the distribution from several of the healthier pooled endowments, resulting in no net cost to the General Fund in FY 2006.

The appropriation bill also breaks out this budget into two programs – Campus Operations and Outreach Services – to better identify which costs are associated with which educational model.
