Fiscal Policies
- Changes to the fiscal policies were based on feedback given to Sankofa during monitoring. The feedback centered around safeguards with regards to property lost. Dates were also updated. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M7GwFwbPsLHLp55c_3zvZblpqm7LgbB2/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106321790808175626409&rtpof=true&sd=true
- Sarah sent out the forward funding! There is a negative cash flow starting in April. A current scenario and the what if. The what if gets us to a positive cash flow. We have reached out to redefinEd ($151, 200), New Charter School Venture Fund ($141, 250) and Charter School Growth Fund ($175, 000). CSDC will be asked to forgive us over 200,000 for the 19 students we lost because the project (the building) was not delivered to us on time.
