Fifteen minutes will be allocated on the agenda for public input at each meeting. Additional time may be added at the discretion of the Chair.
Public comment may be oral, in person, or in written form to be read by the Chair.
Public comment is limited to no more than 3 minutes per person.
It is recommended that public comment be written out and provided to the board following the three minutes to ensure the entire message is heard by the board.
Each speaker will clearly state their full name and county of residence.
All public comment should be factual and should not include personally identifiable
information of students or personnel in order to maintain confidentiality. Speakers
should avoid using names of students or staff and maintain confidentiality and
privacy standards.
All public comments will be taken under advisement by the Board, but will not elicit
an immediate written or spoken response. The names of persons providing public comment and
a brief summary of topics or input will be included in the meeting minutes published.
A response will be provided to the stakeholder within seven (7) days.
Specific issues about a particular student or teacher should be addressed to the school’s executive director, rather than the Board of Directors.

2018-2019
The Finance committee has worked with Charter Success to analyze our monthly budget variance reports and project the latest for end of year activity. There are June bills that have come in during July and still need to be finalized in the end of year accounting during August. At this time, the 2018-2019 end of year surplus is estimated to be $ 96,291.03. This does not include all end of year expenses that will be finalized within the next month.
The balance sheet and income statement along with the YTD 18-19 June budget are attached for your review.
2019-2020 Budget Update
Salary savings reflected with the new hires is estimated to be $24,486. We will also realize savings of $22,103 from 6 staff members not electing benefits coverage which was not anticipated. An additional cost savings of $3,677 is reflected in the working copy of the 19-20 budget from a change in provider for our insurance coverages. We switched from Wright Insurance for liability and Eastern Alliance for Workers Compensation and moved coverages to Hanover Insurance umbrella package. The student Accident policy will remain with Hartford Insurance. At this time we are projecting a surplus of 64,289.67. Amendments to the budget will be presented once the updated per pupil allocation is available.
