• Ductwork, fire system maintenance were an unexpected expense earlier this year, but Kendra and the accountant have worked together to update a grant application and this money may be recoverable through grant funding. 
• Instructional/curriculum materials were prepaid, this was expected to be a front-loaded expense for the year and is not likely to pose any problems with the annual budget.
