How are we funded? Revenue – Sales! Our revenue is generated by selling our services/programs to school districts Grants – some funding for specific programs is generated from applying for competitive grants – RUS/USDA, Perkins, Regional Partnership, DASNY Adults – who pay for Career Training and High School Equivalency Test Prep Administrative and Capital Budgets – voted on by component school boards - RWADA Price Setting Prices must be set to sustain a service. Methodology is voted on by component schools. Revenue from one service cannot be shared with another service or program. Allocations of Costs Some expenses like OM, Tech Support, Supervision, Clerical Support – allocated to program budgets All expense related to a service must be budgeted, then divided by amount sold to set price. What happens to any surplus or deficits at the end of a fiscal year? (Refund)
