Allows the Arizona School for
the Deaf and Blind (ASDB) to use Enterprise Fund (Fund) monies towards other
costs that are outside of school facility operations.
History
ASDB was founded in 1912 and currently employs 220 teachers and serves over 2,000 children who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing or deafblind from birth to grade 12. ASDB operates two schools for the deaf, one school for the blind, a state-wide birth to three early childhood and family education program and five regional cooperatives which provide services to students attending a local school.
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-1321 the ASDB is governed by a board of directors (Board), which consists of:
· The Governor, as an ex officio nonvoting member;
· The Superintendent of Public Instruction or their designee;
· One member from the Commission for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing who is appointed by the Governor;
· One member from the Governor's Council on Blindness and Visual Impairment; and
· Six additional members who are appointed by the Governor and who meet criteria established in A.R.S. § 15-1321(B).
The ASDB Board is required to maintain the Fund, which is comprised of retained fees, rentals and other charges received for the use of school facilities and non-school events. Monies in the Fund can only be used to pay for costs associated with operating school facilities (A.R.S. § 15-1323).
According to JLBC, $53,000 of monies were expended from the Fund, leaving it with a year-end balance of $535,400 for FY 2018.
