Focus On Finance-LSC Finance sub-Committee on 7-29-10

This sub-committee is chaired by Donna Coppola and the other two members are Rick Starrbard and Maria Carrasco.


Dr. Latham warned the committee to expect costs to increase since sveral students will be coming out of the paraocial school system due to the poor economy.

Rick Starrbard expressed concern that public monies are being spent on transportation to KIPP,a charter school to the tune of 32,000. Donna Cappola echoed these sentiments and wants a detailed breakdown of ALL the transportation expenditures. A huge portion of the annual school budget is spent on transportation. Few of the other membeers of LSC shared her concern.

The entire budget was moved out of committee with a motion by Rick Starrbard and seconded by Maria Carrasco. Donna Cappola voted no,feeling that she just could not vote for a budget without librarians. She reminded everybody that this is the 21st century.
