  A. Revised Budget
   
Attached is the revised budget for Candeo – Peoria FY21. The only reason to revise budget was to take Scottsdale activity out of Peoria budget.

Summary of Changes:
ADM: revised from 700 to current 100th day ADM of 579
Revenue: revised from $6,154,814 to $5,333,530
Expenses: revised from $5,319,187 to $4,296,130

Explanation of Changes:

The Scottsdale budget does not need to be revised.  It was pulled out last summer and already submitted to the State.
The genesis of this issue is related to how the State recognizes the two charters.  We did the original budget combining the Schools because we were told (by ASBCS) that since Candeo Schools, Inc.  is one entity only one budget was necessary.  However, upon further vetting throughout the summer it was discovered this was not correct.  In working with ADE they advised that we immediately pull Scottsdale out and submit that budget ASAP to fulfill our statutory compliance requirements.  We did this.  However, it was not necessary to immediately revise the original combined budget (not due until May 15th) and pull out Scottsdale because we had already met our statutorial requirement of submitting a budget to the State.
All that being said, from an operational standpoint the Board already reviewed (last summer) the detail of the combined budget that had both Schools separated.   We have always been operating with two separate budgets for our own internal purposes.
Jaci and Brad where on the original approved budget and this was rolled over.  
V. Summary of current events (CP/CNS)
 
The executive director, presiding officer, or a member of the Board may present a brief summary of current events.  However, pursuant to ARS 38-431.02(K) the Board may not propose, discuss, deliberate or take legal action on any matter in the summary unless the specific matter is properly noticed for legal action.
