COAH Fiscal Policies and Procedures FY21
Taylor shared with the Committee that City on a Hill's Business Manager, Beth Sears, has red-lined the COAH Fiscal Policies and Procedures FY21 document to ensure that the post-Consolidation practices were properly articulated in the FP&P. Taylor highlighted each section of the document where revisions existed, which included, but were not limited to, vocabulary to reflect the City on a Hill Dudley Square and Circuit Street consolidation in 2019 as well as updated deposit procedures due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The Committee asked about the current signatories and Taylor shared that they are himself, Sonya Pratt, Chief of School, and Andres Tejeda Soto, Board Chair and that the Finance Team was working with Boston Private to update the signature cards to reflect Ted Gildea as Treasurer.
With very minor changes made to the document, the Committee had no further questions before voting to approve the revisions to the FP&P.
