He handed out an overview of his document that outlined the areas that have <br />been transferred to another area because of miscoding or transposing of figures. <br />Superintendent Harutuman expressed the concern over the $250,000 Spring shortfall. He added <br />that in October, when the FY96 budget was built, it was built on numbers much lower because we <br />found in the Spring we needed more money. <br />'The Superintendent outlined his recommendation of anticipated adjustments ($316,508) to be <br />made to the FY96 Budget for the following reasons: <br />$250,000 (Approximate amount of deficit in the FY95 Budget) <br />33,508 ( "file difference between the FY96 request and the FY96 allocation) <br />33,000 (Unanticipated repair work on the Joshua Eaton roof) <br />A fourth item was the difference of $12,000 to move the modular class room. These are the <br />major costs that amounted to the $316,508 without the $12,000. <br />Of the $316,508 (without the $12,000) deduct $33,508 (the difference between requested and <br />appropriated salary adjustment account) and deduct $22,888 (the amount transferred from the <br />
