[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Around $10 million
The FY 2013 total budget for the Advanced Academic Resource Program is [b]$9.6 million [/b]and includes
69.5 positions. 
*School-based expenditures total $8.8 million. 
*Contracted salaries for 62.5 resource
*teacher positions total $4.9 million
*hourly salaries for teacher participation in screening and selection of advanced academic students, attendance at orientation, and substitute teachers total $0.3 million.
*Employee benefits of $2.2 million include retirement, health, dental, disability, and other employee benefit
expenditures. 
*Operating expenses total $1.3 million, which is allocated to schools on a per-pupil basis
for textbooks and supplies. 
*The school-based total represents the incremental cost which applies at the
elementary level and at the three middle schools that have a sixth grade. Costs and positions for the
elementary and middle school center programs and the middle school honors program are included in the
elementary and middle school core programs because the students are being served by positions allocated
from the standard staffing formulas.
*The Advanced Academic Resource Program also includes nonschool-based funding totaling $0.8 million
and 7.0 positions. 
 -Contracted salaries for the 7.0 positions total $0.6 million. Hourly salaries total $648.
 -Employee benefits of $0.3 million include retirement, health, dental, disability, and other employee benefits
expenditures.

So that is a small percentage of the $140 million shortfall, especially considering that many of the expenses are teacher-related and would exist regardless of the program of study. These kids would need teachers whether or not they were in AAP. [/quote]
