The budget also included $800,000 in minor fire-safety im- provements to 62 schools and a $200,000 back-up power genera- tor for the board's computer sys- tem.

In the past it was always difficult to match requests with speakers, she said. "We don't want to burn out volunteers." With all of the new resources, it will be easier for someone to obtain information as they won't have to be referred elsewhere as often as in the past. The association can always use volunteers.
