Budgets & Usage
In putting together data for the LMS Task Force last week, the following document was shared that shows usage of resources and money spent over the last 3 years for libraries. This is on the district level and does not include local funds budgeted for the campus. We also do not have information on budgets prior to last school year.
A couple of important things this data revealed:
1. The investment of funds into district libraries over the past few years has greatly increased. Funding has more than doubled from the last school year to the current one.
2. Database usage has decreased by 2/3. Since login was simplified last year to make access easier, usage greatly increased. However, the decrease in usage so far this school year is dramatic.
