3. TSSP/Land Trust 2021-22 Budget Updates Dina Kohler
Still finalizing purchases EdTech out of the allocated budget that was previously approved
4th Hall Monitor hired. Going great!
Principals received word from Leon Wilcox (COO), able to carry over more than the usual 10% if funds go to support teachers and/or ESP employees
If our EdTech purchases have leftover money above 10% from TSSP, can SCC support an increase in FTE funding from excess funding?
