Language Arts – to be funded "Three-Year Software Package" instead of "Five-Year Software Package". The time would give the department a chance to review and assess the program if they want to maintain the software, Focus on Grammar. After three years the request could be resubmitted.
PSME – omit "Quiz and Exam Printing and Copying" request. Dean of the area needs to work directly with VP of Finance on allowable printing and any augmentation request for printing.
