Just in time for your new budget and negotiation season!
MSBO introduced Dynamic Budget Projections© to Michigan districts to great reviews.
Over 370 Michigan districts have purchased and have it available for their budgeting process. Now, Version 2010 of Dynamic Budget Projections© is available. The 2010 version includes all prior revisions and has been updated based on user feedback including the most recent State Aid changes based on the 2009-10 approved State School Aid Act.
Annual Maintenance and Support–Version 2010
One of MSBO’s commitments is to maintain, support and upgrade the program from year to year. When a district purchases the Annual Maintenance and Support, they receive the update to the software (Version 2010), updated documentation that explains the changes, and software support.
This 2010 update includes:
- Two optional detail sheets have been added based on requests from users. This will allow for entry of greater detail of revenues and expenditures
- A current State Aid database was added for easy foundation allowance lookup
- Additional formula tests have been added to ensure accurate calculations when negative foundation allowance amounts are projected for future years
- ARRA impact worksheet added to demonstrate and communicate stimulus funding issues and concerns
- Foundation allowance proration and 20j funding veto variables have been added to this version
The ISD version released in the spring of 2006 will not be updated this year unless requested by the ISD Committee.
And now for the cost ...
- 2010 Annual Maintenance and Support is $110.
- A discounted rate of $90 is available (if all districts that purchased the DBP program in an ISD also choose to purchase the Annual Maintenance and Support).
- A CD will be mailed to you upon receipt of your payment.
What about training?
Training is not required for the annual update. Formal training is scheduled on the Tuesday prior to the Annual Conference every year. In addition, a training session will be scheduled to follow the release of the update each year. Districts that desire a refresher may attend the updated basic training. The cost and timing will depend on the number of attendees.
