Budget Review

Ratios are a little low, but we will watch and monitor, adjusting as needed. 

ClassWallet is preloaded, so those line items will be high for this time of year. 

Other budget items are typically higher this time of year due to the preparation of school opening.

The audit has been underway. We have submitted our budget reports and they have been certified. 

We missed a line item in the formulas in the June budget. We are anticipating some revenue that will balance it out.
