The 2008-09 ABEF board has been busy continuing our technology goals with 3 additional docucams so that all of our AB teachers now have access to this extremely useful piece of equipment to assist them with their lesson plans; keyboard covers for all the computers in the lab to help our students learn to type better; and other miscellaneous technology cables and remotes. Due to budget cuts, your Foundation has also had to fund salaries for our very valuable PE Assistant and Impact Teacher. A full breakdown of the expenses as of January 2009 is shown below:
