BUDGET NARRATIVE
Please attach a detailed budget narrative that explains the need for all proposed expenditures by
individual item. The budget narrative should clearly explain how funds will be used and why
expenditures are necessary for successful implementation of your program. Please explain how costs
are calculated.
A. Personnel —
Costs associated with this item are to be utilized in the following manner:
1. Site -Based personnel. $652,877• Includes certified teachers at $23 per
hour (fringe included); FWISD para-professionals that earn overtime for
their after school duties — compensation depends on number of service

participants that might receive federal breakfast and lunches as their
only sources of nourishment.
3. Grant Development Speciahst: $20,000 - Individual contracts with
FWISD to write grants. Individual has secured more than $3.5M in
TEA 21st Century - Afterschool Centers for Education grants. She
provides additional checks and balances to the FWAS program. She
completes amendments that must be submitted to TEA.
4. FWAS Central Support Personnel $50,000 - Requested to compensate

records, entering requisitions and recording staff site observations The

C Travel —
Approximately $3,000 has been allocated for the 17 sites. An additional $1,500 has been

history of the program that sites have been allowed to purchase items that have exceeded
$100.

Worth Crime Prevention District budget. The FWISD will provide matching funds in the amount of $1.1
million and continue to administer this project Funding will be allocated as follows to each ISD.
