Lisa will present the unaudited actuals following the close of the 2024-2025 school year. Unaudited Actuals are an annual statement reporting the financial activities of Bridges in which the data are not yet formally audited. Unaudited Actuals are presented to the Board each September, reflecting Bridges' final year end closing from the previous June. These are the foundational reports for the auditors to perform their review.
Adjustments to the Long Term Sub rates, and the base minimum rate for our teacher salary schedule have been made to account for increases to state minimum wage.
The Prop 30 expenditure report has been update to reflect additional revenue received. All revenue was allocated to teacher salaries as was the case in the original report.
Bridges was once again named as the recipient of the $10,000 grant to support our outdoor classroom program and farm to table program.
Approval of this item is recommended.
