Special Education Budget Closeout for the 2016-17 School Year

Please note that Special Education purchase orders/requisitions for the 2016-17 school year must be received by April 3, 2017 @ 5:00 p.m. Please remember the following:

  • Budgets are not carried over from one year to the next.
  • Remember to deduct any previously submitted amounts from your Special Education budget (so that you know your balance) before submitting new orders. This includes reimbursements submitted through your school. No orders will be processed that exceed your budgeted allocation.
  • Please check with your school secretary to make sure all Special Education reimbursements have been submitted to the Special Education Department by the April 3rd deadline. We have provided each secretary with a spreadsheet of currently recorded purchases/reimbursements for the total special education department at your school up through January 31, 2017.
  • When ordering supplies, follow Skyward procedures.
  • Be sure to follow the ordering guidelines outlined in the attached budget information page, as you close out your current year budgets.

Staff will be notified of the new budget allocation amount prior to the start of the new school year.  Keep in mind that new purchase orders/requisitions will not be processed until mid-July when all of the current year’s budgets have been closed out.

As you close out your budgets for the current school year, please note the following:

  1. All purchase orders/requisitions should be routed to Debbie Fairbourn in the Special Education Department.
  2. Use the following codes for purchase orders/requisitions and NPOs submitted through the year.

Coding for Purchase Orders/Requisitions and NPO’s:

Annual Facility Self-Inspection Survey

The Annual Facility Self-Inspection Survey for 2016-17 from the State Office of Risk Management is now available online at www.risk.utah.gov. “Due to policy change, no extensions will be given and agencies not meeting the deadlines will be enforced with a premium penalty.” So, it is imperative that each school complete and submit the Facility Self-Inspection Survey no later than Friday, April 14, 2017.

Each school principal is the “Surveyor” and the person ultimately responsible for completing this survey.  Appropriate sections of the survey may be delegated to the department head, nutrition manager, custodian, etc. as seen fit, but the principal remains accountable.

As in previous years, if an issue is noted, you will be prompted to fill in a corrective action plan. Please specify Work Order #, date submitted, who will follow through from your school, a target completion date, and any other important information pertaining to specific questions.

When the survey is finished, the lock button at the end of the survey must be pressed to report that it is completed.

Please feel free to call or email us with any problems or questions:

Ron Boshard, 801-567-8876 (x 88876), ron.boshard@jordandistrict.org

Peggy Margetts, 801-567-8753 (x 88753), peggy.margetts@jordandistrict.org

You will receive reminder notices from SIS@utah.gov.

Thank you for your support.
