Financial Performance Update
- APS allocation reflects an increase in October based on the mid-year count.
- CARES Act reimbursement of $157k received in October.
- Submitted 600k of reimbursement requests for grounds improvements. The farm is not included. Outdoor classrooms/seating and retaining walls tied to CDC recommendation. $300k/campus requested for reimbursement that requires approval by state GADOE because APS feels the request is outside of the "norm".
- Grandparents' solicitation was successful resulting in high contributions in October ($30k in October).
- In general, COVID costs have stabilized.
- Possibility for ANCS to join APS facilities contract for better pricing on HEPA filters.
