  A. Finance Report
   
The forecast in the March YTD financials are based on a 7 week closure period and assumed a re-opening of School in May.

Highlights:
Balance Sheet-
$40k Chromebook purchase for remote learning.
Revenue-
March tuition rates resulted in a $20k shortfall from the December rates.  Overall, tuition is still projected $155k higher than originally budgeted.
Private Fundraising includes $72k of COVID19 emergency funding from Foundations.
Expenses-
No material changes to forecast, increased depreciation expense for Chromebook purchase.

 

COVID19 Re-Forecast
Assumes School is closed for the remainder of the school year.  
Changes are highlighted in red.
Confirming grant guidelines with DESE regarding Carryover funds thresholds.  
Nutrition Revenue and Expense will be adjusted at end of April after invoices and reimbursements are analyzed, most likely resulting in a breakeven scenario.

Given uncertainty around state budgeting, we will be reviewing an updated budget next month that takes into account the risk of reductions in projected per pupil tuition.
