  • $101k decrease to projected operating income vs budget, driven by (1) personnel (2) building/construction/property. 377 more expenses forecast; also 276 more revenue forecast, for net $101.  
  • This will be reduced as $100k for modulars within purchased property services will be reimbursed through loan, which will then rebalance forecast to budget.
  • Personnel is higher as we moved janitorial services to staff from contracted, an additional instructional personnel, and higher than anticipated offers for new staff.
