SUBJECT:
Specific Appropriation 89 - Library Media Allocation
Specific Appropriation 89 of the 2007 General Appropriations Act earmarked $15,000,000 of Instructional
Materials’ funds for library media materials. The attached copy of the Instructional Materials’ funding
provides additional detail for library media materials allocations for each district.
The library media categorical funds are earmarked for a specific purpose – the purchase of library media
resources to be checked out through the school library by students and teachers. Specifically, library
media materials include those items normally purchased under Function 6200 (Instructional Media
Resources). These items include library books, reference materials, audiovisual and electronic media,
and periodical and/or information database subscriptions. Equipment purchases, class sets of resources,
and supplies are not eligible expenditures from these funds (Section 1006.40 (4), Florida Statutes).
Additionally, materials acquired with these funds are to be cataloged and inventoried as part of the library
media collection. Any funds not expended at the end of the year may be carried forward to be used for
the same purpose in the subsequent fiscal year.
If you have questions, please contact Nancy Teger in the Bureau of Instruction and Innovation at (850)
245-0874 or by e-mail at nancy.teger@fldoe.org.
