Notes: - Meets OPSB's target for 2% surplus at the end of year 1 of operations - Modeled off of 50 student enrollment with 95% retention (we currently have 52) - Reflects current staffing model plus $100,000 + of renovations targeted for this year - New addition of ESL students will force us to revisit some elements here as we develop a solution for supporting those students well - Revenues reflect drawing 90% of ASI Line of Credit and all of LDE Loan if we don't hit fundraising targets. Expenses reflect debt service as if we draw both completely. - July Actuals already reflect a reduced need for ASI Line of Credit to meet surplus target (loan reduced to $60,000 from $90,000) |
