STUDENT BUDGET GUIDELINES for 2021-2022
CORE Butte Charter School believes in and supports learning in the broad community. The school provides every student with an Educational Unit (EU) budget in order to personalize his/her education beyond the traditional curriculum. In 2016, the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) required that specific funds be allocated for student academic improvement. The LCAP committee chose to allocate a reduced budget due to our current budget constraints this year to $1500. The following chart defines how the Educational Unit (EU budget) may be spent.
The EU Budget
The EU Budget Description: Educational Units are allocated to each student in order to support classes on site and in the community, as well as field trips and other educational pursuits, which are not available through the assigned curriculum. EU allocations should be aligned with the learning plan and not used indiscriminately. Teachers use the Online Purchasing System (OPS) to place these orders. Academic support should always have priority over electives. The use of funds is to be determined by the teacher in cooperation with the parent. If the student is not proficient in math and English Language Arts, academic tutoring should be the top consideration.

- EU Budget per student: $1,500
The entire $1,500 may be used for tutoring and academic classes. A maximum of $900 may be used for electives. This budget does not roll over from year to year, and is not shared among family members. Total Educational Budget for Academic and Elective Support: $1,500 Academics: May use all or part of the $1,500 Electives: May use a maximum $900 per year .
It is the responsibility of the PLT to monitor that no student exceeds the $900 limit on elective EU expenditures.
WITHDRAWL FROM VENDOR COURSE INSTRUCTION GUIDELINES
