Ted Gildea, Committee Chair, directed the Committee’s attention to the Finance Updates. Diana Landry, Business Manager at Central Source, presented the School’s Budget vs Actuals as of November 30, 2024, confirming that expenditures were in line with expectations for this time of year. She provided a comprehensive breakdown of recent expenditures, highlighting the use of ESSER funds for various costs and outlining the strategic, accelerated spending approach. Key investments included field trips, staff appreciation initiatives, and bulk purchasing of essential school supplies. The only significant change noted was the amount owed to the foundation, which reflects the rent payable by the School. Landry also explained that fixed assets would continue to depreciate until June, with any remaining balance written off in July when the School closes. She assured the Committee that available funds were sufficient to cover all planned expenditures for the remainder of the year, noting that no additional funding from the foundation would be required. Landry then opened the floor for questions, but the Committee had no further inquiries.
