8.1. State Aid Prior Year Correction
Rationale:
State Aid is recalculated each year after data from the most recent school year is finalized and updated figures can be obtained. This information is used to calculate each district’s "prior year correction." Which means that state aid for the 2014-15 school year will either be positively or negatively adjusted. The prior year correction for Franklin Public Schools will be a "positive adjustment" in the amount of $6864.

8.3. Free Labor
Rationale:
During the month of November, we are hosting a worker from ResCare Workforce Services. ResCare helps job seekers through unpaid work experiences. We have a worker placed in the kitchen and custodial area. This helps the worker earn work experience and provides the school district with free labor. I'm also continue to explore working with them to understand and possibly make placements in the ON the Job (OJT) program and Work Opportunity Tax Credit Program (WOTC). These programs provide financial incentives such as paying employees salaries for their first 6-months of employment and being able to earn a tax credit of up to approximately $10,000.
