Overall there will be few instructional programs significantly impacted within the Board of Education’s fiscal year 2012 budget.
The school system did have additional grant reductions within Title I and Perkins II-C Career and Technology Grants, which will be reduced by approximately $29,000.
Hickory Environmental Education Center summer program will be reduced from a five-week residential program to a potential two-week day camp. BOE representatives have stated that this initiative is in process.
Funds for Academic Intervention will also be reduced. While funding is still available at all instructional levels, there will be reductions primarily at the middle and high school levels. Transportation for Academic Intervention will be included in the budget.
The Alternative program bus that transported students from the northern end of the county to Southern High School has been eliminated. The Alternative program will be retained, however, and will now be provided by each school individually, utilizing current staff.
