FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 ADOPTED BUDGET
The adopted consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 is $4,418,000. This amount includes $2,319,000 from the Joint Resolution-General Fund, $25,000 from Special Appropriations General Fund, and $2,074,000 in Revenues from Internal Sources.
Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $479,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012. This reduction is the result of the conclusion of the Chapter V Hispanic Serving Institution Grant.
The funds from the Joint Resolution General Fund will allow the school to continue to prepare art profesionals and continue to promote cultural and humanistic development.
Revenues from Internal Sources are generated from tuition fees paid by the students. These funds will be used to cover costs associated with professional services and other operational expenses.
