Financial Discussion

Michael Ikano, Prestige School Solutions, discussed the outstanding liability with the building, continue with current arrangements and what to do with the excess cash. Described CD's and wants SCWS to continue to learn about LFIP. LGIP is an investment took that is available to local government entities in South Carolina. Access to the money is available within 24 hours.  

Several Charter schools already use this option. The LGIP option will also make sure the school is in compliance with the FDIC limit using the "ladder" approach. Michael with confer with other colleagues to make sure a 30 days cash on hand is in the LFIP account. 

The second item today is the debt on the building. No penalty for paying off the building early.  No large expenses in the future are expected that would erode the cash balance. SCWS could pay the building off and then use the money saved for student trips. The board would like to provide scholarships to students who would like to attend the Washington DC trip. 

Motion to pay off the building mortgage.
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
Motion to follow the ladder and LGIP plan upon advice of financial professionals.
