Special Education Budget Allocations 2022-23
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.

Color Paper Shortage
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.
Parking Lot Duty Guidelines for Elementary Schools 2022-23
Elementary Principals:
Through the 2018-19 negotiations process, the Board allocated funds to pay each elementary teacher $400 for parking lot duty each year. Following are additional details and clarification for the implementation of this payment.
- Although parking lot duty requirements will vary from school to school, the payment is the same districtwide.
- Administrators are encouraged to reduce parking lot duty for teachers as much as possible while still maintaining necessary coverage.
- All full-time K-6 licensed educators districtwide who are responsible for parking lot duty are eligible for the $400 stipend. Half-time educators are eligible for a $200 stipend.
- All elementary school Special Education cluster teachers and Pre-school teachers are eligible for an $800 stipend.
- Licensed educators (psychologists, BTS teachers, etc.) who have not been assigned parking lot duty in the past may choose to participate and be paid a stipend but should not be required to do so.
- Administrators and classified staff are not eligible for a stipend.
- The stipend will be paid out on September paychecks.
- Teachers are required to complete parking lot duty unless they coordinate with the principal to give their assignment and stipend to another willing teacher.
- Teachers can take on as many parking lot duty assignments (and stipends) from other teachers as will fit in the calendar.
- Teachers can only give up their parking lot duty assignment and stipend or accept an additional assignment and stipend in coordination with the principal.
- Teachers can only give up or accept an entire assignment and an entire stipend.
- Principals should adjust the parking lot duty schedule as necessary to allow as many teachers to take on as many extra assignments as needed.
- Special Education cluster teachers and Pre-school teachers cannot give up their parking lot duty assignment.
- Stipends for parking lot duty are included in retirement pay calculations.
In order to streamline payment, please ask your administrative assistant to complete the attached Excel workbook. Please scan the completed submission sheet and send with your regular September payroll to the Payroll Department by September 2, 2022 so that teachers can be paid the stipend on their September 25th check.
