This area includes costs associated with paying the state-mandated retirement health care carve out.  This payment is made as a contractual obligation on behalf of all employees.  Subs and other staff costs that are to be reimbursed from the ASB or outside sources are also charged here.  There is also a budgeted amount for sick leave buyback for potential retirees at the end of the school year.  Finally, there is an amount here that is to cover overload payments to certificated staff per the negotiated contract.  For the 2006-2007 budget the amount of carve out payments to staff is all included here.  After the first payroll is run in September, that amount ($120,658) will be spread to the various programs by the system.
