II. Vote

A.

BPCS 2021-2022 Financial Audit

George Winn is pleased to tell everyone that Bridge Prep has received a clean audit. It is a fairly simple report; when you look at a non-profit from a programming strategy, we are where we should be in terms of the use of funds. It's a pleasure to be able to share this with you; it's a testament to our own processes, our team and our financial partner BoostEd in keeping us on a good course. This was covered in more detail in the Finance Committee Meeting and he is glad to talk to anyone who would like to delve into this at any time.

M. Harmon-Vaught added that at our prior board meeting where quorum was not met, we discussed the audit in greater detail, and were able to ask questions; the sense of the room at that time was that the audit would be accepted.

 

G. Winn made a motion to approve the report of auditors Schall & Ashenfarb as to the financial condition of Bridge Preparatory Charter School for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.
M. Casale seconded the motion.
The team VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.

III. Closing Items

A.

Adjourn Meeting

There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 4:55 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,
K. Baldassano
