Toni Johnson gave the financial report.

These are the bottom line results from Toni' s report:

Other Expenses (14,741) - Credit card interest

 

Federal Sources: (21,335) additional security grant will move to FY 26

IV. Executive Director Update

A.

Kolt gave the Executive Director's Update

FY 25/26 student enrollment for SCSC is 315 with the potential to accommodate 329-335. students.   

 

The recommendation is to move the Finance Committee meeting to the 3rd Thursday of each month and the board meeting to the 4th Thursday.  This allow edTEc the time required to close out the month and shortens our reports lag time to one month instead of two currently.

 

The before and after school care funds are (65,000) based on projection for the FY 24/25. 

 

State revenue for FY24/25: $3,509.509.  FY 25/26: $4,182,313.

 

The issue with FY24/25 was attrition for one reason or the other from 315 proposed filled seats at the beginning of the year to 273 actual seats filled at the school year's end in 2025.

V. Closing Items
