II. FY24 Financial - edtec Report

A.

Peter Laub gave the Budget vs current Forecast report.

The first change to the budget vs forecast report was in State Sources with $21,643.  This was the retention bonus supplement received from GaDOE. Because of how the plan was initially rolled out by the governor and GaDoe, the guidelines were not very clear as to who was considered under teachers and eligible staff members.  Thus, the cost to Miles Ahead Charter School was actually $26k.  This decision is in keeping with the action of Cobb County public schools.  Ed Miller made the motion to pay the difference in cost to MACS. Jennifer Toussaint second the motion. The motion passed.

 

The other change to the forecast vs budget report was -$2k for benefit expenses. This was incurred by multiple new hires in November.

 

Cash flow is solid.
