KOSCIUSKO COUNTY CLAIMS - JUNE 23, 2009 MEETING

State disbursements delayed, varied

After Indiana school corporations pass budgets and get them approved by the state, when do they get their money? In the past, schools would receive a payment on the first business day of every month.Since 2002, that has changed.Now schools receive payments anywhere from last business day of the month to the middle of the month. The state, however, has been trying to get the payment schedule back on track, Wawasee School Corp.Director of Finance Jim Evans and Warsaw School Corp.Chief Financial Officer Kevin Scott said during an interview Thursday afternoon. The state officially doesn't have to tell schools their budgets are approved until mid-February.A school corporation then has two weeks to question the state on the approved budget. "There's not a whole lot you can do about it at that point," Evans said. "They have a legislative date that they have to hit," said Scott.

Tippecanoe Environmental Foundation made a $1,000 request for 2003.No representative for the Lakeland Art Association was present to make a financial request. Most returning nonprofit organizations making financial requests before the commissioners made the same request as 2002 or slightly higher.

WINONA LAKE - After a season flooded with success and acomplishments in 1995, this year's version of the Grace College volleyball team is hungry for more as it anticipates a shot at the elusive NAIA National Tournament.
