PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The mission of the Administration/Support Services program is to provide the support services for the Instructional and Residential Services Programs.

The goals of the Administration/Support Services Program are:

Provide the direction needed to operate and maintain all functions necessary for the efficient operation of the school.

Provide for related services required under state and federal law and to provide for all blindness adaptation skills unique to this school, and to serve as the premier resource center for all local education agencies.

Provide statewide pupil appraisal and evaluation services.

The Administration/Support Services Program provides the administrative direction and support services essential for the effective delivery of direct services and other various programs being conducted by the school. These services are primarily grouped into two main categories: administrative and school operations. The administrative category provides the following essential services: executive, personnel, accounting, purchasing, and facility planning and management. School operations include maintenance (security, custodial, general maintenance) and food service.

The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 98.8% of the existing operating budget. It represents 87.6% of the total request ($1,362,420) for this program. The changes are partly due to an increase in risk management premiums, a decrease in funding for acquisitions and major repairs and an increase in salaries due to a technical adjustment to provide sufficient funding of salaries in this program. The remaining difference is due to statewide adjustments.
