Category I:  Funds Paid by the Board for Consumable Supplies - These funds are supplied by the School Board and are given to schools for consumable supplies.  New Career and Technical Education courses have been assigned an allocation.  Several Career and Technical Education courses are being recommended for an increase per-student allocation.
