In FY2001, DET will continue to retain funds from the applicable WIB funding allocations in order to pay these bills. Total dollar amounts and instructions are being communicated to all concerned. In the future, DET will consider the petition of an LWIB requesting that the LWIB assume these local telephone service and long distance telephone service costs directly. Funds required to pay these on-going data circuit costs in FY2001 will also be retained by DET from the applicable WIB funding allocations. The dollar amounts and instructions are being communicated to all concerned.
Budgeted costs are estimates and, then, reconciled once the actual costs are known.
DET apologizes for the amount of time it has taken to communicate dollar amounts authorized to be carried-forward from FY1999 to FY2000. Assuming that communication from the LWIBs to DET regarding expenditures, etc. DET is required to pay DET staff working in a collaborative Career Center and, therefore, may need to make a payment for staff hours that cause an LWIB allocation to be over-expended.
