| NOTES |
|
| A. |
Several 2019-2020 projects were not able to be completed due to the change to virtual learning - those project funds are still available for teachers to use during the 2020-2021 academic year |
| B. |
If field trips and/or other projects are unable to occur, BOOST will coordinate with teachers to determine whether to roll funds into a future academic year or reallocate to different projects |
