RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
This program is funded with the general fund, interagency transfers, and fees and self-generated revenues. The Department of Health and Hospitals, Office of the Secretary, Bureau of Health Services Financing, transfers funds to this program from Title XIX of the Social Security Act (Medicaid). The Department of Education, through Subgrantee Assistance, transfers funds to this program from: the Extended School Year Program (ESYP) in compliance with the Laura I. consent decree, and funds for the International Very Special Learning and Technology Center housed at LSD. The fees and self-generated revenues funding this program are derived from employee maintenance fees, athletic receipts, facility use fees and workshop registration fees.
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 97.0% of the existing operating budget. It represents 84.7% of the total request ($3,861,403) for this program. The changes in this program are primarily due to an increase in funding for equipment and major repairs, a decrease in risk management premiums, full funding of all recommended positions and a means of financing swap for rental space that will no longer be occupied by the Department of Education.
