As of Jan. 14, 2015, $6.7 million has been spent on Public School System personnel, according to PSS finance and budget director Derek Sasamoto.<\/p>\n
Out of about $33.9 million available for operations for fiscal year 2015, $28.84 million has been allocated for personnel. A total of $2.7 million have been allocated to operations, or what PSS calls \u201call others.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of last month, PSS expended $1.25 million and obligated $670,000 for a total of $1.923 million, leaving a balance of about $780,000.<\/p>\n
For its CUC bill, in October, PSS spent $209,000. PSS had a usage of 436,000 kilowatt hours for total power expense of $190,000.<\/p>\n
In November, total expenses went down slightly to $199,732. Kilowatt hours were at 434,000 kilowatt hours but expense was reduced because rates were going down.<\/p>\n
In December, total expenses increased slightly to $201,795. About $136,663 of this was in total power cost, even as PSS usage jumped to 467, 000 kilowatt hours.<\/p>\n
For 2015, local appropriations for the Board of Education and PSS were $33,613,903 for 2015. Adding CW fees, and Compact Impact funds and subtracting the Office of Public Auditor-required 1 percent, this amounts to $33,997,768 in total appropriations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
