Placement of Funds:

-Home & School supplements the school by giving $81,000 to the school budget.  This includes $10,000 that goes to technology. 

-Most years, H&S has a balance of $10,000 as a cushion for the following year if fundraisers don't go as planned.   

-Balance that is above the $81,000 is used for big ticket items that help maintain and sustain the school, such as windows, shades, and flooring.  In the future, plumbing will need to be added to that.
