IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION fl8988 - CHILDREN'S VILLAGE SCHOOL - ADDITIONAL STAFF REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE 1579-80 SCHOOL YEAR
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed Miscellaneous
Resolution #8988 and finds said resolution:
I) Calls for the addition of three staff personnel to be added to the Teacher Services
provided by the Waterford Schools,
2) The additional Teachers Services are required for the gym and art shop in the new
school,
3) The estimated cost for the Teachers Services is estimated to be $37,000 to $40.000 for
the 1979-80 school year,
4) The County will not be billed for these costs until 1980 and it has not been the
practice to accure these costs,
5) The $37,000 to $40,000 is for teaching personnel only and does not include any pro-
vision for equipment or supplies that may be required for operation of the gym or auto shop.
The Finance Committee recommends the Children's Village include in its 1980 Budget Request
funding sufficient to cover the additional cost incurred as the result of the new Children's Village
School and sufficient backup to support the additional expense.
