State sources have decreased due to the Commonwealth’s elimination of the General Operating Subsidy to Intermediate Unit’s across the state. School districts are not being asked to supplement this loss in funding. The Bucks County Intermediate Unit has absorbed the costs by making personnel changes and by looking for alternative revenue sources. Allocation of revenues from corporate sponsorships, commercial partnerships, non-public schools, special grants, collaborative agreements with ‘Higher Education’ to share tuition revenues, and direct user fees for non-profit institutions are projected to maintain or exceed their current levels. We will continue the surcharge fees to 'out of county’ participants at workshops and conferences. We will continue to look for ways to provide contracted services to non-profit agencies and providers in order to generate revenue that is reflected in the use of fund balance. Expenditures - Decrease of $68,272 or 3.70% Budget Notes: Instructional Technology Services will continue to provide support and training for classroom and distance learning initiatives. We will maintain instructional resources, including video-on-demand solutions and the professional library, to support districts in providing standards-based instruction. We will maintain the allocation for curriculum and/or staff development to support district initiatives in meeting the requirements of Chapter 4 Regulations, No Child Left Behind, and Acts 45 and 48. This budget reflects an overall 9.35% decrease in salaries. 5 BUCKS COUNTY INTERMEDIATE UNIT #22 PROGRAMS AND SERVICES DIVISION BUDGET 2012-2013 PROGRAMS & SERVICES DIVISION OVERVIEW It is the mission of the Programs & Services Division to provide direct professional and technical assistance to the schools of Bucks County.
