Quarter 1 Dashboard

Michelle reviewed the Dashboard as presented.  FY18 is looking slightly favorable to budget.  We have an additional staff member in the teacher center (new Director), who was not part of the budget.   We will draw down money to offset salary and expenses at the end of the year from the Gates grant housed at the Sizer Foundation.  We will draw down enough money to bring the balance to zero.  We also have some additional Dissemination grant money in FY18 and additional offseting expenses.  The credit rating of TD bank was also reviewed and found to be within required limits.  Theresa reviewed Q1 bank statements with Michelle and suggest we request an increase in the rate on our accounts.  Michelle will follow up.
