• Other Budget Categories
• There are 12 other budget categories which are
  essentially stand-alone budgets i.e. the
  revenue in these budgets is categorical in nature
  and can only be spent for certain purposes.
• Some of these budgets are created by federal
  grants (e.g. special education, drug-free
  schools, vocational and technical education,
  Title II, Title IV, Title V)
• If expenditures in these budgets exceed the
  revenues, the difference becomes an expenditure
  in the general fund budget.
• Community education and the child nutrition
  program are two of the largest of these budget
  categories.
