T. Reddicks shared projected funding based on current enrollment versus the state's projection.  There could still be a discrepancy between what we expect and what the state funds given the decision to fund at 100% or 85% has not been solidified.
Funding from The Mind Trust came in to support expansion.  Charter School Growth Fund has not sent an update as to the support they are able to provide.
Contingencies for construction and furniture still exist through Schola, which can be used to complete the build-out of the 10,000 square feet at 1203 E St. Clair.  This would bring the project to a close to neutral cost.
Reimbursement funding has not yet come through from Schola for the June payout.

J. Monk introduced the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 drafts for questions.  These are subject to change based on IPS and DOE Assessment calendars.

T. Reddicks introduced the need to start defining how Paramount defines the central office and create it as its own organization.  The need for this shift presents itself when outlining central office costs and how to structure within the schools.  Next steps will involve discussions and guidance from legal, Charter School Growth Fund, and Andrew Bray.  Findings and guidance will be shared out on a monthly basis with the board. 
T. Rude and P. Blackard agreed this is a need.  B. Eldridge requested this be researched also from a finance point of-view.
