Intercoastal still continues to struggle with cash flow because the CSP Grant has not been fully approved by the state. We are in constant communication with the state to see when we can expect it to be approved. Their answer is to wait because there are a lot of schools that are waiting. K-8 and HS are doing well. The Finance Department is processing grant reimbursements for K-8 and HS in record numbers to make sure we don't carry a large sum in receivable into the next fiscal year. We had a site visit for all of our schools and they were happy with how the finance department works. Finance department was in full compliance.
