Jill presented a draft revised budget, explaining how the state per pupil allotment is calculated to add 30% of the per pupil allotment for each low income student.
She has not had a chance to meet with Susan O’Rourke to review this revision. They will sit down over the next few weeks to have a revised budget ready for the December Board meeting. The Finance Committee will meet to discuss that revision before the Board meeting
Jill reported that she spoke to Chris King about the employee retention tax credit. Chris stated that no one has received that tax credit yet.
