II. Action Items
A.
Approval of Intra Company Operational Loan to Magnolia Science Academy Santa Ana
C. Young, Chief Executive Officer, explained the benefits of having a loan approved for the operational needs of the whole school year rather than smaller loans coming to the board one by one as needed, and she informed the Board that this loan would be used only for operational expenses. The board presented their concerns about MSA Santa Ana (MSA SA) having a high ADA but needing operational loans. The loan documents presented include the cash flow loan for the full year. The board discussed the ADA number required in order for MSA SA to break even its 2016-17 budget. Board members expressed the importance of student recruitment efforts and they requested MPS staff to present a student recruitment plan and information on recruitment events at an upcoming board meeting. They also requested that the finance team create an organized plan explaining the money pool that is being presented. The Board did not approve the presented loan pool but did approve a loan for immediate operational needs.
N. Russell-Unterburger made a motion to approve an intra company loan in the amount of $593,000 to cover the September MSA Santa Ana financial needs. The Board requested MPS staff to return to the Board with and elaborated report of the loan pool being presented.
S. Sherkhanov seconded the motion.
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
