<br />to present the expense portion of the budget and answer questions from viewers.
<br />Dr. Wells and Dr. Munnelly then reviewed the estimated FY85 METCO budget, noting
<br />that although the "Cherry Sheet" shows a 10% increase (to $231,000) over FY84,
<br />it is not believed that the State Department will approve an accross- the -board
<br />increase, therefore, the figure being used for budget purposes is $221,899
<br />($11,599 more than FY84).
<br />The estimated budget is made up of: Schedule A - Personnel, $56,860 and other
<br />Expenses, $3,100; Schedule B - $89,100, equivalent of the cost of four teachers;
