part of a plan to restructure the MR Graduate program to ensure that as many

demands grow, in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 Budget, the Board funded 17 of
the most critical recent MR graduates. Anticipating roughly $500,000 in funding from
the State to cover the majority of the costs for the new graduates, the Board
also established a scholarship fund of $500,000 to allow for some of the remaining
31 MR graduates to receive some level of funding. He expressed his hope that the General Assembly
would provide additional MR waiver slots which might increase the County’s
ability to assist the 31 unfunded graduates, either directly or by using dollars
now allocated to graduates to fund previous graduates awaiting

2005, Chairman Connolly moved that the Board direct staff to determine:

MR graduates budgeted in the Board’s FY 2005 Budget.

Whether there are any additional waivers, and,
if so, provide the Board with options on how that funding might be used.
