Too bad SansFire isn't until July. You could burn through a good deal of
that budget on the various seminars and workshops it has. They do still
have some training sessions before the end of June, http://www.sans.org.
The Denver one in June looks to have the most diverse offerings. I mean if
you're going to be stuck with Windows machines, you could argue that
courses that cover such things as how to secure them is pretty essential
in the current Internet situation.
