FOCUS: ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS : BREA
The Board of Education on Monday approved a 1999-2000 final budget for the Brea Olinda Unified School District that will give a financial boost to campus safety, teacher development, and employees.
Responding to the April shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., where two students shot and killed 12 classmates and a teacher before taking their own lives, the district received a $125,540 increase that will be spent on staff and equipment to reduce school violence.
For teacher development, a portion of the funds will be used for staff training. The budget also provides a 2.5% salary increase for employees.
