Financial Update
Expecting to add to our fund balance at the end of the fiscal year; right now we're at $628k and expect to end positively. DPI grant money is still owed to us, Special Ed payments are due to us around $34k. Food Service has been so positive. The $10k we spent on it has been paid back and then some. Lily is able to collect money easily. RFQ process is not recommended for this year; wait until we are in our new building.
E Rate consultant expense has been covered and then some.
2025 preliminary, very conservative outlook has a negative outcome. Now we start looking for ways to save or increase revenue. The budget does NOT include any carry over from the current school year.
Grant amount we were awarded as $900k could move to $1.5m. The money would increase because we are in good standing.
C.
Contracts
Charter contract from OEO recommends NWEA/MAPS testing.
MOU (memorandum of understanding) with CESA intent return, would like the 5% surcharge for retirement.
$672 ($11 per pupil) to join association that will lobby for higher per pupil revenue funding from the State.
Policies handed out: Sexual Harassment and Title IX Policy 5027, Expulsion Policy 5006, Student Complaint Procedure Policy 5012. If you attend an independent charter school, you give up your right to appeal to DPI (for expulsion and complaint policies). The Governance Board is the last point of appeal. We are not a school district (district are defined by boundaries). Special Ed references LEA vs district. DPI was not aware of the distinction.
