Attached are the special education budget allocations for Resource, Self-Contained Teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists for the 2022-23 school year. (Cluster Leaders do not receive a Special Education budget.) Remember that special education monies must be spent in ways that provide the most benefit to special education students with the goal to improve student achievement and performance. It will be up to you, your team, and your school principal/financial secretary to keep track of how much of your budget you have spent individually.

Please note equipment purchases, electronic games and/or any materials that are not instructional in nature must be pre-approved from the Special Education Department. Equipment purchases that are not pre-approved will not be reimbursed. Requests must include the approval from your teacher specialist.

When submitting requisitions, follow Skyward procedures and guidelines. Requisitions for the 2022-23 school year can be submitted anytime between July 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023. The final deadline for all purchasing requests, reimbursement requests, E-checks and P-Card purchases is March 1, 2023. This is a different deadline than we have previously had and will not be extended.

If you have questions regarding your Special Education budget, please call Amanda Hamblin at (801) 567-8177 or the Teacher Specialist assigned to your school.

Due to supplier shortages and global supply chain issues, the Central Warehouse is running very low on Hammermill DP Colored Copy Paper and Springhill Digital Vellum Bristol Color Cover paper. The paper mills that produce Hammermill and Springhill have temporarily stopped taking orders from distributors that sell to the District. The Purchasing Department is currently working on sourcing other brands of DP Colored Copy Paper and Digital Vellum Bristol Color Cover paper that will fill the demand and needs of the District. Please be patient with us while we are doing all we can to make sure schools can order select colors and types of paper. If the paper you need is not currently available in the warehouse, you may look to purchase through Amazon, Office Depot, or Staples under the state contract using your pcard.
