SSRI Funding Clarification

• Although UTD was initially told the funding was coming from a grant, future monies are coming strictly through General Funds.
• Approximately 50% of the money must be used for hiring more teachers OR converting teaching positions to extra teaching period supplements
• The remainder of the money can be used for text books and supplies for the 2 extra classes they will offer, professional development, hourly personnel and computers. Principals have a form they must submit to the Budget Office (Ophelia San Pedro) and to the SSR Office (Millie Fornell) for approval before receiving these funds.
