Re: Fees for August 2016 - Resubmission
Your honor:
After submitting my August fee request under the usual format, I was informed by the PCSSD
that I would have to submit separate bills to the PCSSD and to JNPSD. It was my understanding
that the PCSSD would handle all reimbursements and collect JNPSD's portion through their
system. Apparently, this arrangement created an accounting problem for PCSSD (the law of
unintended consequences), with respect to desegregation funds. Therefore I am resubmitting my
request for reimbursement for my activities related to the J/NPSD's implementation of areas in
Plan 2000 that remain under Court supervision. My fees for August total ($1950.00)
*August 8 - Court hearing (student transfer) - 1 hour ($150)

•

Aug 23 - Jacksonville High/Jacksonville Middle School - 3 hours ($900)

*

Aug 29-31 - Organize/Develop/Prepare/Copy/Deliver/Mail Reports - 3 hours ($900)

*Amount apportioned between districts

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Sincerely,
