Title

AN ACT CONCERNING SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATIONS for the purpose of declaring additional revenue and appropriating to the General Fund to provide funds for costs that were not anticipated in the Approved Fiscal Year 2016 Budget

Background

This legislation will provide supplementary appropriations for Fiscal Year 2016 in the amount of $8,500,000 to the Board of Education in the FY 2016 Budget. The additional outside aid revenues are comprised of $8,500,000 of Board of Education source revenues from the prior year’s fund balance. The additional revenues will increase the FY 2016 General Fund budget from $2,950,420,225 to $2,958,920,225.

 

The General Fund supplementary appropriations will support the Board of Education’s operating budget. This funding will be used to purchase equipment, conduct a performance audit, increase free breakfast and lunch programs at eight sites, support special education programs, recruit literacy coaches and parent advocates, and support the Ombudsman’s Office.
