Finance & Facilities Committee
64 Days of Cash on Hand
257K decrease in revenue due mainly to not receiving CSP income, which affected 4% Gross Margin. Should receive $151 K in May or June.
CSP
We have $985,269.00 to spend in AY 27 and it needs to be spent, so the Board needs to monitor reimbursement process monthly.
It can pay for anything related to the expansion of our school, percentage of salary, Professional Development, curriculum associated with adding new grade levels or expanding to more classes per grade.
Budget:
Largest expenses are food, transportation, salary and health care. Still awaiting CSP reimbursements before finalizing.
