The schools have been awarded $400k per year for up to 5 years to support 50 scholars from a PAL grant via OCFS. There is an opportunity to bus students home on this fund as well as dinner funding. The school leadership will be meeting with the director of PAL to get more information on paperwork. There will be a full time director needed, as well as Assistant Director. 

P. Augello from Boost Ed reported on the budget with a boys' enrollment of 246, however the budget would be balanced at 231. The financial covenant will be in compliance. The girls' school is budgeted at 323. Merit could be added back at the end of next year, depending on the final enrollments. For the current year there is $75K per school budgeted for merit. The ERC that we received last July, we will recognize in the coming year. Martha Snyder asked if the auditors will be comfortable with using this over two years, potentially for merit. 

Both schools have been paid for specials billing, and receivables from districts are almost to zero for the year.
