Charter Success Partners will provide a presentation on their budget process and the status of KHS.  

Dr. Tracy will review the monthly budget report.  

There are two line items (technology and student services) that are over budget.
As of the report it appears that the school will spend $400,000 more than originally budgeted, it is unclear and timing of the report has not provided the adequate time to work with CSP to determine the large jump from September to October.  

Recents submissions to CSP to update the budget may have resulted in a change in the budget.  

 

Dr. Tracy will provide an update on the CSAB Presentation for November 13 at 10:45.
