SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENT: http://bit.ly/voices-public-comment
At this time, members of the public may address the Board on any issue within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board that is not listed on this agenda. Members of the public may also address the Board on an agenda item before or during the Board's consideration of the item. Submitted comments may be read into the record to the extent practicable based upon factors such as the length of the agenda and available time. Comments received within the window of the board meeting whether read or not, will be shared with the board and noted in the minutes.
Individual commenters are limited to a single comment per agenda item.
Public comments will be accepted prior to, and during the board meeting, subject to limitations discussed here.
Comments may be read in the order received and will be accepted up to the point each agenda item is heard, acted upon or when the Board President has completed the call for public comment on that agenda item.
Comments submitted during the board meeting but after the agenda item has been called for a vote, or has already been completed will not be read publicly, but may be entered into the record.
Comments should be limited to 400 words or less, and will need to be readable within the time allocated for each comment. These presentations are limited to no more than 15 minutes total and 3 minutes per person. A full comment may not be read if the length of time to read the comment exceeds the designated limit. No action can be taken on an item not on the agenda at this time but may be referred to the administration or put on a future agenda.

III. Committee Business: Discussion Items
A.
Increase in Compensation Bands
The Finance Committee thought this item did not need to go to the full Board for approval and suggested that for future items, the reasons behind the adjustment be presented, as well as the philosophical alignment to the network and less of the detail.
B.
Current Year Forecast
Josh Kemp reported that the interest rate increase in the bank account would bring needed revenues. ADA dropped a bit from P1 to P2 and was mostly from one of our schools. The budget for this year will be close to zero dollar budget.
C.
Budget Forecast
Josh Kemp reported that the budget forecast looks stable. The 2024-2025 budget has an operating income of $969,752, and it will remain stable through 2025-2026. Voices is in a good position to transition out of a reliance on one-time funding.
