Review November 2020 Financials

Ms. Davis led a review of  monthly income statement for November 2020.  Highlights include additional FFE expenses due to extending the Chrome Books warranties.  Marketing expenses include last payment for website redesign work. 

Ms. Davis also led a review of the Monthly Statement of Financial Position.  Ms. Price noted that Bank of America has completed review of our request to convert the PPP loan to a grant.  The bank has submitted the request to the SBA for final review.  SBA will respond within 90 days.

Status Updates

WIA has started the process of creating 1099s from the financial system.  Staff are starting this process a little earlier than usual. 

December 2020 financial review will occur at Feb committee meeting.  Those statements will be used as a basis for the mid-year budget revision, also to be presented in February.  Best predictor at this point is the 50% hybrid budget model that was discussed at the start of the fiscal year. 

$230k in Title I and CARES Act reimbursements have been submitted to various grantor agencies.  Approximately $195k in reimbursements have been received. 

G.

Other Items

Ms. Price let the committee know that school leadership will evaluate whether it is appropriate to conduct a 2-year review of salaries across peer systems to ensure competitive salaries.  A variety of Covid factors complicate the feasibility of such a study.  Leadership will report back in the next couple of months regarding the feasibility of such a study. 

Mr. Ryan-Lawrence indicated that governance is working on an annual task calendar.  Ms. Price will review relevant dates for Finance Committee requirements and provide them to Mr. Ryan-Lawrence by the end of January.
